Midget model finished
Posted by Don Stauffer on Monday, December 13, 2010 9:47 AM

Finished the Revell Kurtis Kraft midget.  Here are a couple of shots of the finished car.  I have the kit trailer also done, but no good shots of it on trailer yet.

Very nice Don! I've heard good things about these kits. I've seen one other built but they didn't get quite as close with the camera. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice build, have you picked up the other new midget yet? I have, and am looking forward to finishing both of them. I hope mine turns out as nicely as yours did. Can you take a closer shot of the back of the dashboard area where you have done a little wiring? I would like to do this on my kits and could use a better look at your completed one. Again I think you did an outstanding job on this kit!

I'll see what I can do for a closeup of the panel plumbing.  I actually used the same stuff I did for the plug wiring.  I expected the plumbing to be copper piping, but the Edelbrock car as it now sits has black plumbing- maybe vinyl covering?

I have not picked up the Offy yet, though a few of my friends have, and I have seen it in the hobby shop. I still have several decals left over from my Etzel midget, so am contemplating which car I will build, to have something different this time- not using kit decals.  Etzel decals included an AJ Foyt car and a Parnelli Jones car- probably build one of those two.
