Ivo Showboat dragster glue bomb rescue


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Got this buildup of a Tommy Ivo 4 engine showboat dragster. On trying to disassemble it I was only able to save two of the 4 engines, so I decided to go with his two engine dragster that came before the Showboat. Still rough in spots but I think Snake45 would have approved. Let me know what you think.

That is well done and not an easy task.  I am building one currently from the AMT Double Dragster kit and also used two of the engines from the Showboat kit.  It is a Dragmaster chassis instead of the Scotty Fenn chassis Ivo ran, but is looking pretty good.  Your idea takes it at least two steps further and the body work on yours looks much closer to the Scotty Fenn car.  A very nice job.
