Cubicle23 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 How about a Top Fuel Dragster? Any era, front or rear engine. Doug Kalitta's car has nice lines and bright livery, but old school front engine cars would be cool too. Don Garlits' Swamp Rat series maybe? The outrageous proportions of these beasts would be a treat to have in 1:8 scale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Mark, The Master Modeller Posted February 16, 2023 Administrator Share Posted February 16, 2023 I’d go for that. Classic era would be my preference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how they did it back in the day. If you have a closer look you can see that the driver sits literally directly on top of the differential. You were surely in for some hell if it ever exploded under power......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
