Historical background:

The 1910s was a period of dynamic development in the automotive industry in the United States. It was a time when cars began to become more accessible to the average citizen, and mechanical workshops were springing up like mushrooms after rain. Interestingly, during this period, women began to play an increasingly significant role in the industry, including in automotive mechanics. The ICM 24009 set pays tribute to these pioneers who broke stereotypes and contributed to technological advancement.

Set for self-assembly and painting. It does not include paints or glue. For assembly, separately sold modeling tools are needed (including cutters, files, tweezers), paints, brushes, and plastic model glue (e.g. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement). The photo shows a professionally assembled and painted model.
