Ford Flivver


Recommended Posts

Williams Bros  1/48 Ford Flivver.

 

Henry Fords aircraft for the people, but it was not to be.

A really nice kit to build. rebuilt the cockpit as the kit was abit flat, rebuilt the instrument panel.

painted with tamiya and vallejo paints, rigged with EZ line.

i really like williams bros kits so i may start the Gee Bee R next??

OMOMG!! I'm reading Brave New World, for the first time, where (as I'm sure you all know), Henry Ford has become the Supreme Being that society worships. And that word 'flivver' keeps cropping up in rituals. Obviously, I guessed it was something to do with Ford but had no idea what it was...and here it is! Fantastic (and rather spooky). What a little gem of a build. Thank you!
