The original Buzz Bomb. ABARTH!

Nice work. I love those little buggers.

I've got one of these on the way.  I enjoy unique quirky cars.  You've done a great job.  Any issues with the kit that I should be aware of?

Nice model Pat !

Reminds me I will have to get Tamiya's standard Fiat 500 kit and build a model of one I used to own in the early eighties now it has been re released.

[PatW]

Thanks guys. It's a great kit with no issues. It's also interesting that within a mile of here we have both a basic Fiat 500 petrol, that a young lady is learning to drive in, and in the same house her mother who is teaching her has a deluxe EV version with a sun roof and in two tone paint and flash alloys ala ABARTH! Also a few other both basic and Abarth petrol powered and EV's in the town!

Pat, that sure is a cute little bugger. There are tons of those running around here. I never thought they might be used to race. That must be a scary proposition. Seems like if it got over it would roll like a basketball for a mile before it stopped. Excellent build on this one for sure.

Cheers Mark, absolutely great to race! As a retired race/rally marshall I've seen cars of this size and make doing both. The driver need a great deal of skill to drive one safely, and very fast!
