Scale I Build

Found 4 results

  1. I did a search and didn't find anything on this new kit so I hope I'm not going over covered ground. I got my hands on this kit yesterday and have been digging in to it. The frame, engine, etc are all from the original MPC Garlits mid-engined Swamp Rat 1R. That makes the frame incorrect as Prodhomme's car was built by Lil' John Buttera and didn't use a Garlits' frame. I don't see this as any problem however on a full body car like this because the only part of the frame that really shows is the roll cage. It's different from the kit but that difference is easy enough to correct with some Evergreen rod. The body, which on the 1:1 car was built by Nye Frank, appears to be an all new piece. It's very close in my initial inspection although the coming around the cockpit may be a little too high, but we'll see. The engine is typical for MPC and would probably best be replaced by one from the early Revell funny car and dragster series kits. The valve covers and injector from Revell are much closer to correct than what's in this kit. Anyway, that's just my first impressions upon opening the box, so here are some reference photos so you can decide for yourself.
  2. This kit started out as the Ramchargers dragster with full bodywork. Added home made belts, modified the bodywork, wired/plumbed everything else.
