A Fritz von Opel special. 24 solid fuel rockets propelled it to 143 mph in 1928.

There were a few RAK3s including an airplane or two. 15 years or so later came the Me163 Komet.
Here's a RAK3 rail car (in 1/43)

143mph in 1928??? Weren't some Duessys clocking at 110-120mph??

Streamlined ! And that red rocket Opel looks like it has a couple of 20mm cannon in the front to discourage any competition !

The burn time on those rockets were short lived., even with sequential firing.

There was an old movie called "The Great Race"
with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon, Peter Faulk and the beautiful Natalie Woods. Highly recommend it and these cars look like they may be from that movie! lol
