Fiat Mefistofoles....Italeri 1/12 scale
louis Carabott replied to louis Carabott's topic in Model Cars
I replaced the wooden components and added all the wiring stuff -
Dedicated most of my work to the engine.....This monster had an aero engine on it and it broke the World speed record in 1924 at Arpajon clocking 146.01 miles per hour It was driven by its own inventor ...Ernest Eldridge . It was nicknamed Mefistofoles because of the infernal noise it used to make ...especially when revving ...Hope you like it
