Today reading the forum I find a user whose avatar is Rat Fink (sportblazer350). It's the same piece from a keyring that I used to make one of my first S&B time ago. I always feel fascinated by Ed Roth and Rat Fink is one of my icons. As the old 1/24 Revell Lotus with Rat Fink on is an expensive models I decided to make my own car.

I used a F1 from the German old brand Stabo. Here is the original car.

After a cleaning session I put some decals from Pattosplace, a big fin, and of course a Rat Fink taken from a simply keyring. With a customized box the result was quite good:

Love it! The iron cross on the spoiler is a nice touch.

I remember when the 1/24 cars could be bought brand new at just about any raceway or dept. store. There were several different monsters to choose from if I remember right. Mr. Gasser comes to mind.

That is a neat idea to scale it down to 1/32. Gives those older cars new life.

The more I think about it, the more I want to put one of these little Rat Fink's behind the wheel of one of my Cox BRM's!

...what? That would be too much green ya think?
