Ace-Garageguy Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Hmmmmm...that would certainly be something worth researching and scratchbashing, anyway. Probably one chance in a billion of getting a kit though.
Lizard Racing Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I would assume the 1:1 still exists for scaling purposes.

Nitro Neil Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Yaba Daba Doo! That's a big YES from me!There is a in 1/43rd kit made by Soldan Models, but he only releases a few at a time and they are hard to get.Land Speed Racing has always been underrepresented in 1/25th plastic. And Garlits keeps EVERYTHING. They could do an episode of "Hoarders" on the guy. Edited July 14, 2016 by Nitro Neil
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Land Speed Racing has always been underrepresented in 1/25th plastic. Agreed, but this is a drag car that didn't work out because the rear of the car generated lift, it got light, lost traction at speed, and wasn't fast. Plug was pulled on development.

Daddyfink Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Well, it is not a land speed car and I believe there was a resin body of this somewhere, or at least the Jocko Johnson Streamliner I like it, but, I really don't see this as a viable kit when there are some many other cars that could be done.
keyser Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Jocko Johnson's Moonliner. Begging for resin, I've never seen one. Some Hawk thingy rubber-band car similar, but too killer for "close enough".
LDO Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Someone made a big scale model, body only, of the Moonliner in fiberglass. Garage kit. Probably impossible to find now.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Man, is that one gorgeous shape. i forget about that car, and then when I see it again, it's like...wow. Needs to be scratchbashed too (though I could do without the organ-pipes),
slusher Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Probably one chance in a billion of getting a kit though.Totally agree..
Jon Haigwood Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 After reading the backstory on it's history I don't see much of chance of it being made a kit. It still would be a fun build.
iBorg Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I believe there was a solid resin cast. Several people bought it, a few actually received it. Cool car.
keyser Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I've considered spoons for front fenders, and whittling laminated plastic. P.retty far down the list, sadly, but a great looking car. I could live with a brick/curbside if accurate and actually delivered. No way we'll ever see a kit. Pipes are excessive, but so cool. The Hotwheels version is nice.
Daddyfink Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I believe there was a solid resin cast. Several people bought it, a few actually received it. Cool car. I have one of those solid cast resin bodies pieces, it is pretty hefty! I have Jocko's Porting Service decals I might use on it.
10thumbs Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Naaa, it's modeled after a somewhat used bar of soap.
