Mighty Mouse - Topolino comp. coupe

[mr moto]

My version of a "Freight Train" style Fiat competition coupe. I'm pretty sure that nothing like this ever existed but I didn't let that stop me!

Basic components: The chassis is the Dragmaster Mark IV from Revell's Mickey Thompson "Attempt 1" extended out to a 130" wheelbase with Evergreen rod. The body, engines, wheels, fuel tank, chute pack, etc. came from AMT's Double Dragster. Tires from Modelhaus. The stacks are a (discontinued) Parts Pak made by Round 2.

Paint is Tamiya French Blue and Brilliant Orange with Duplicolor Chevy engine red on the engines (of course!) and various shades of Alclad. All the decals are home made.

The photos are a little dark but here they are. Thanks for looking!

Looks darn good.  I would not be surprised if there was something like that back in the day.

Imaginative, fun and beautifully made model.

Finally a Fiat that could sell!

A great big "Thank you" to everybody for the appreciation of my build and a very special thanks to Cobraman for posting those photos. I had never seen anything like this before but I suspected that somebody must have tried it back when two engines seemed liked a good idea.

Thanks again to all!

BTW, did anybody notice that in the first photo that Cobraman posted there are whitewall pie-crust slicks on the TRAILER!

Very cool build!

Very cool old school dragster. These things must have been crazy freaky to drive. Very nicely done.
