The Ford Model A of 1928–1931 also called the "A-bone" among rodders and customizers, was the second
huge success for the Ford Motor Company, after its predecessor, the Model T. During the 1940's and early 50's,
the Model "A"was a reliable, inexpensive car that proved to be ideal for customizing. With creativity and
ingenuity, the Model A's were often customized with the addition of new engines and custom parts that
added style and performance to suit their owner's tastes. The new Minicraft Hot Rod Roadster captures the
spirit of that era with custom wheels and tires, a flat-head V-8 engine and many custom chrome parts.

Decal Application:

Your Minicraft model includes high-quality waterslide decals. These decals adhere best to a glossy surface.
Use a sharp scissors or knife to cut individual decals from the carrier sheet. Do not cut into the clear film
surrounding the individual decals. It is recommended that you apply one decal at a time. Place the decal
section in warm water, when first inserted in the water your decal will curl, after approximately ten seconds
the decal will uncurl. Remove from water and lay on a paper towel. After approximately 10 - 20 seconds the
decal will slide freely from the backing paper. Use a small brush to help slide the decal from the backing
paper and into position on the model. Carefully blot excess water from the decal, using care not to move the
decal or tear it. If you choose to use a setting solution, apply a thin coat over the decal following the
manufacturer's instruction. Allow the decal to dry overnight. Wash any adhesive residue off the model with
a small wet towel.
