Base Model LHS: Dragster - Front engine type; Corgi-toys Ref. 162-A1
Final Model RHS: Dragster - Rear engine type; Corgi-toys Ref. 162-A1 modified; representing the Feb/07/1971 Don Garlits rear-engine dragster that won NHRA Winter nationals (7.03 seconds at 214.79 mph); the modifications included, removing the cockpit from the rear of the engine and install it ahead of the engine and closing the section behind the engine, also add a high wing at the rear of the car.
In this Blog I am presenting the models that I modified; they are side by side, the original model and the final one. For the more complex modifications I am also presenting them in my other Blog at: "1/43 Collection of transformed and restaured models" to show the evolution of the construction of the modification.
