Monogram 1/8th Scale Drag T

[pharoah]

I'm glad I bought the last reissue Big Deuce when I did. Prices on it are still crazy.

I,for one. never really cared for the Lindberg kits. The Extreminator was kind of interesting,but I never bought one. The others looked too 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for me. I remember watching an old Gumby cartoon tears ago ,and he was driving a Lindberg T bucket. I guess he was too big to fit in a 'Big T'.

I have 2 of the BiG Drag kits.... Plus a few of parts packs....

Got a great parts stash of Big T parts from an estate sale.

To my surprise, it included most of the Drag Race accessory set and the bonus, a Competition engine from the Chevrolet V8 Engine kit.

Looks like there's enough to do a variation of the Big Drag.

Shows that the stuff's out there.

Space was an issue with me.

In the early 90's I got a 70's? issue Big T that was on display at my local hobby when I was a kid. I stored it for years.

About 3 years ago I found the perfect 1/8 scale display case and put the Big T in it.

A month later I locally stumbled onto nice survivor Big Rod, Big Tub, Big Drag and a 65 Vette.

All I need now is the pedestal for the display engine.

Wow, that display case fits the bill nicely.

Does the front glass swing open for access?

Great built finds too.

If it's anything like the ones I have the back door is the only one that is able to open

It is a rear door so you load it then very very carefully move it.

With resin 3d printing with us these days it is a wonder a subject such as this has not popped up. I have friend who is into large scale models and he has printed all sorts of 1/8 scale stuff - mostly early drag stuff.
