EA Electronics - 1005-KIT - Vehicle, Truck, Ford, BB-157 - Undecorated

Specific Item Information: These are scale model kits of the 1934 BB series truck. The BB series was in production from 1932 to 1934. It was equipped with either the standard four cylinder or the optional “flathead” V-8 (this kit depicts the V-8). The BB-157 indicates the longer wheelbase version (157”) rather than the shorter wheelbase version (131.5”). The kit is available with two different cargo bed/loads, a stake bed with beer kegs or a flat bed with a lumber load.

Road Name History: Although they may be molded in color, unpainted and unlettered, undecorated products are marketed to modelers who seek to custom decorate their models for private roads and/or road and/or company names that were not commercially produced by any of the major manufacturers.

Undecorated models are frequently also unassembled or only partially assembled and required modelers to be comfortable with glue, paint and sometimes solder in order to prepare their models for display. Materials for these models can vary but often include plastic, pewter and resin. Models may or may not come with decals or other decorations such as plastic signage, railings and ladders to enhance the appearance of the final product.
