This kit models a typical shallow field drilling rig used in large numbers across the country in the 1930's and 40's. The welded steel towers, which replaced the wooden ones of earlier days, were cheap and easy to build, and were often left standing on the spot when a well was completed. Tool housed and draw works sheds, however, were usuallly disassembled or simply moved intact on skids to the next nearby hole.

The model may be built as a totally new installation or as a weathered rig that's been around for a number of years. Or as a combination of both,with a new tower flanked by a weathered and worn tool house and draw works shed. But that's just a matter of finishing. In either case, the construction is the same.

The models footprint is 12 1/4 X 4 5/8 and 14 3/16 inches tall.
