Artitec Ford Model AA Truck

Artitec has "quietly" released a Ford Model AA truck.  The model appeared in Artitec's online shop in October stating that it would be "available soon."  In early November the status was changed to "Order," 

I had placed an order with DM-Toys in the latter part of October that included the Ford AA.  Yesterday, November 8, I received an email from UPS stating the order had shipped, and today UPS delivered that order!  I will get some comparison photos with other 1:160 scale vehicle models and post them in this thread.  In the mean time, here is a link to Artitec's online shop showing multiple views for the Ford AA.  https://www.artitecshop.com/en/ford-model-aa-pritschenwagen-muskator.html

While Ford introduced the Model AA in 1928, I believe the disc wheels that match the Artitec model did not appear on the prototype until 1929.

Too early for me unfortunately but the model looks extremely nice.

It looks like a pretty accurate model.
Coincidentally, I saw a beautifully restored ‘29 model flatbed with stakes today in the Kalama, WA Interpretive Center.
I wish I’d taken pics, but it’s not far from home.
If I recall, GHQ offered a nice AA Model kit.

Here are some comparison photos of the new Artitec Ford Model AA truck with other N scales vehicle models.

First, the Ford Model AA with an Artitec Ford Model T.


Next, the Ford Model AA with a GHQ Ford Model A.


Finally, the Ford Model AA with a RPS/Atlas Ford F-350.
