This review will tell you more about ICM 1/24 Model A Standard Phaeton (24051). New release comes as yet another version of the famous car. It is molded in typical scale for this type of kits and might turn into a great project. Overall packaging is typical, so everything comes in one bag. There are 195 parts which should assemble into a model with 163mm length. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another version of this car.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.
On the first frame you can see side fenders and bars for the chassis. Engine and gearbox are also placed here and look great. Of course, you can add wiring for additional details.
Bonnet panels are molded on the next sprue, but manual doesn't have option with open bonnet. You will have to do some additional modifications in order to achieve such result.
Next we see side panels for the car body. Yes, doors are molded in, and you won't be able to open it. For open cabrio it is not such a problem, because interior would be still visible.
Separate frame comes with plenty of small parts and a lot of them will be used for the engine and suspension. Molding quality looks great, but in some cases you will have to carefully handle parts in place.
Folded roof is replicated with help of those parts. It might be good to play a bit with finish in order to replicate canvas texture.
Wheel rims are plastic and look fine. For more experienced modelers it might be worth trying to replace spokes with metal wire.
Clear frame is packed separately, and molding quality looks great out of the box. What is surprising is that there are mask templates included.
Vinyl tires should be fine for standard build. Overall quality looks typical for this type of accessory. For more detailed look I would recommend to find 3d-printed parts.
Decals sheet is not that big, but you will find all necessary symbols here. Printing quality looks great, and you can see some of the marking options on the photo below.
Assembly manual is typical for this brand. You can check all pages in the video-review.
New Ford model should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for modelers who are tired from all those hypercars and want to build something different. Moreover, it might be a good option for diorama build with some figurines added. As you might have noticed, plastic has nice potential for some additional features, so it is up to you if you would like to have those added.
