Title: Yellow dragster (from a B57B fuselage)
Post by: ericr on June 24, 2017, 02:42:07 PM

Hi there,

I was suggested to share with this GB a potetially racing-oriented build I showed there :

It is done from a B57B fuselage (the Revell box-scale one), the wings having been taken up for the other project :
I had a try at a dragster-like road vehicle, with a cockpit :

This model is very good here, thanks!
I just notice its very little ground clearance... I hope the runway is very smooth, without any bump.

yes indeed, these machine are made for very restricted use, like on the salt lakes for instance  ;)

Or the original 'dragstrips' which were air base runways.  ;D
