1931 Model 'A' 2-Door Sedan 1/16th Scale

07 1931 Model 'A' Ford 2-Door Sedan Part 07 I SURRENDER!!! Video title: 07 1931 Model A 2-Door Sedan 1:16 Scale. I SURRENDER!!! 1931 Model A 2-Door Sedan Minicraft Model Kits | No. 11238 | 1:16 There have been many issues with this build, but the two I talk about in this video made me raise the white flag of surrender. The gap on the top of the engine shroud is WAY too wide. The hinge pieces for the engine shroud center hinge were literally molded into and were part of the sprue. That wasn't what made me wave the white flag. The last straw was that there is no way the body was going to fit around the back seat and between the rear fenders. I'm re-boxing the build and maybe I'll come back to it in the future, because, it really is a nice kit.

06 1931 Model 'A' Ford 2-Door Sedan Part 06 Video title: 06 1931 Model A 2 Door Sedan 1:16 Scale 1931 Model A 2-Door Sedan Minicraft Model Kits | No. 11238 | 1:16 There have been many issues with this build and the latest one is that the glass is too small to fit the window openings in the body. When the glass is in position, there is a gap on at least one side and the rounded corners of the glass show through the body opening. I wasn't going to produce another video in the series until the build is complete, but because it's taking an eternity to get it finished, I decided to do this update.
