Making progress with my VW midget race car. Here are a couple of pix.
I used the VW engine from the AMT Meyers Manx, with scratch magneto and aftermarket (Aardvark) carburetors. The frame uses the frame from the Revell KK midget kit, but builds up a space frame and roll cage on it.
The wheels and tires, depicting a 70s vintage car, must be much wider than the Revell kit wheels and tires, which are for the 40s and 50s. I chucked up the kit wheels and turned the rims off, replacing them with rims made from 1/2 inch styrene tubing. I will be scratching the tires from MDF board. I will also be using the tail from the Revell kit- the rest of the body will be scratch. I am also using the kit rear center section with scratch axle.
