Build OOB, or customize it!
A perfect base for a custom dragster, or just build OOB if you prefer. Simple parts breakdown makes assembly easy, but there's plenty of room to spruce it up with your own parts box. The frame is in separate sides, which are trued up by their attachment points at the firewall/front axle. Tires/rims are molded plastic (tires are NOT rubber/vinyl) but these can be changed easily using your parts box or aftermarket. The supercharger is molded with the engine halves. Again, if this bothers you... parts box engine to the rescue! No rear axle/differential, just a simple molded axle in the lower body. Basic driver cockpit with seat, steering wheel and rollover bar. 3 nice-looking decal options are included. Its a bit pricey considering the simple details, but makes a good blank slate for a full-on custom dragster.
Old School model
This model brought back memories of my early years. Very plain and simple model. Had some problems. The right frame (part #16) and the drag line (part #24) were molded too short. Had to do some minor modification to make everything work. This would be a great model for the young beginner if all the parts are produced correctly. Only 4-stars was given because of the mis-fab in production.
Easy and fun!
I enjoyed building this Dragster. It was simple, fun, and most importantly, fun. Would be great for beginners because there's not too many pieces and the step-by-step guide shows exactly how it should look rather than a line pointing where to put the particular piece. I highly recommend for builders of any level.
a little too retro
maybe 20 parts, no chrome, white plastic wheels and tires molded together, and a 2 piece motor. would be a great first model my grandson's birthday is in a few weeks think he will be receiving this. would like him to get into the manly hobby of model building lol
Fireball
Not a whole lot of parts I dug into my spare parts bin a whole lot with this one aftermarket wheels tires driver hoses lines spark plugs even replace the engine but it looks pretty damn cool but I threw a lot of parts at it
Good foundation for an Old-School Dragster
Good foundation for an Old-School Dragster. I used kit-bashed wheels and tires, and a /6 engine. Yellow flames are b*tchin. Fit is good, rails nice and straight. Got exactly what I expected.

I just ordered this kit.I am a big fan of old school dragsters and will build this kit when it arrives.It will be a very fun kit to build and display.
fireball dragster
not a lot of parts to it. but a fun lil kit and can be creative with it. i opted for aftermarket parts for the wheels and tires.
Great Model, Minimal Pieces
Minimal Pieces. No chrome. All detail comes from paint job. Very easy.
