I've only seen one of these on eBay over the years, so I snatched this one up a little while back.

Like the Corvette Dry Lakes Racer, I couldn't find any history of a real 1:1, but it sho' is a nice model!

I have mine sitting in a diorama. LOTS of cues in the model build, from a Shelby Cobra. I did the original review on this one for DM along with the Dry Lakes Corvette you mention. Both flights of fantasy for the DM design team but based on actual racing classes.

 

EXCELLENT pics John!!

Thanks for the info, Tony (and the compliment)!

Any chance we might see some pics of your diorama?

You bet. For some reason, after displaying them here a while back, I did not save them - DUH!  I'll get a new set in a day or so!

Thanks, Tony.  Very cool model.  One I've not seen before.
