Iceman Collections “Uncertain T” – A Long-Awaited Dream Finally Delivered
As a longtime model car builder—and Admin of the Model Car AFTERMARKET Facebook page—I can honestly say this one hits home.
I received this Uncertain T kit from my wife for Christmas… and she nailed it. She knew exactly what I wanted. 🎄
For many of us, the Uncertain T has been one of the holy grails of the hobby. Years ago, a large part of the community rallied behind the dream of a limited-run kit from the original 1:1 builder. Many of us contributed to what became known as the “Uncertain T retirement fund.” Sadly, that dream never materialized, money was lost, and the original builder has since passed away. It was a tough chapter for the hobby.
Fast-forward to today—and redemption has arrived.
Iceman Collections took the initiative, stepped up, and delivered a truly phenomenal 1/25-scale 3D-printed masterpiece that finally fulfills that long-held vision.
What You Get
This is not a parts dump—this is a thoughtfully engineered kit:
• Exquisite custom frame
• Accurate body shell with proper proportions
• Beautiful diamond-tufted seats
• Highly detailed Buick Nailhead engine
• Full suspension, steering, and driveline
• Proper wheels & wide Firestone tires
• Parts to build one of two versions:
• The original 1960s Uncertain T
• OR The modern resurrection/replica
Whichever direction you choose—you’re building a winner.
Fit, Finish & Reality Check
This is a serious resin kit, aimed at experienced builders:
• Test fitting is essential
• Some sanding, hole-openings, and cleanup required
• Expect normal resin prep: flash cleanup, pinholes, and surface refinement
• Possible minor warp from shipping—hot/cold water fixes that easily
This is normal resin territory, and nothing here is unexpected for us seasoned builders.
Final Word
“To the original 1:1 builder—Rest in Peace. Thanks to Iceman Collections, your dream has finally been fulfilled.”
This kit isn’t just plastic (or resin). It’s closure. It’s respect for the past. And it’s proof that perseverance—and the right people—can bring a legend back to life.
Highly recommended for experienced builders who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and the soul of this hobby.
