Before there was a Revell midget...

[Terry Jessee]

...there was Etzel's Midget. This is a 1955 Kurtis Midget from Etzel's Speed Classics. It's a resin and white metal kit. I sold this, but got it back damaged. The windshield was missing, so I used one from the Revell kit. I added a baseplate from foil with some photoetched rivets. It was more sleek in the original form, but it's still pretty cute.

Here's the original version. This is a fuel-injected version as denoted by the multiple intake stacks.

The big windshield looks kind of gawky, but it's still racy. It was a great kit.

Very cool car. Nice crisp detail painting.

I was expecting to see a buildup of the Monogram midget... pleasant suprise! Fantastic job on that one.

Very nice. I've got to get one of the Revell kits I guess.

The Etzel's are great and you did a terrific job on it.
