A distinctly American vehicle of the mountainous regions of the North-Eastern US. This 1/12th scale kit is historically accurate and relatively easy to build.
The Western Mountain Buckboard is a distinctly American vehicle born on the homesteads of the mountainous regions of the North Eastern US. The original versions were nothing more than a seat bolted to a long springboard attached to two axles. Because it had no metal springs, its suspension came from the springy "buckboards" that made up the floor and body. Over time, more refinements were added, with the addition of the front spring and the rear Shuler spring.
At a large 1:12 scale (1" = 1 ft.), our model is historically accurate and relatively easy to build. Kit features laser-cut basswood sheets and basswood strips. Expertly cast Britannia metal parts include sprigs, axles, front & rear foot steps, luggage rail, seat rail, apron hand rail, cross and axle braces, couplings, fifth wheel, mounting brackets, whip holder and many other details. A sheet of photo-etched brass parts provides additional life-like detail. Detailed plan drawings and 32-page illustrated instruction manual assure trouble-free assembly.
