With all the interest that Revell's new Kurtis Midget is generating (I can't wait!), I thought I'd post this shot of the Etzel Speed Classics Kurtis Midget. This was a resin and white metal kit that Chris Etzel produced in the '90s. The body and wheels were resin, while the running gear was metal. The grill was nickel.

This is a model of a car that ran out of Nashville, TN in 1955. It was an injected Offenhauser, so it had the injector stacks poking out the side of the hood opposite the exhaust. You had to fabricate some small parts--the injector stacks, some brackets, and the tailpipe.

It's a neat little kit--expensive, but the Revell kits will assume its' place now. AND you get a trailer.

Q: someone made a vacuformed Millar about 20 years ago. was that an Etzel product? i had one but never built it (too intimidating!) and i would give it a try now if i could find a manufacturer

I think that was KG Models( Ken Glenn ). It was a terrible model to build. I think Ken was the only one who ever actually built one.
