Does anyone have a copy of the instruction sheet for the Revell Rat Fink and Mr. Gasser Kits?

Robert,

Assembly of the running gear isn't any different than the Lotus or BRM.

Did you look at the VSRN library online?

I'm not sure where I found this , but the wheels on the Fink and Gasser are set up wider than the Lotus and Brm and the rears tires look bigger, dragster slick style.

At some point , I widened the track(wheel width) to be correct, possible after this photo was taken so it may be wider than shown. Right now MR. Gasser is in pieces awaiting a repaint to be more like the box art.  I'm still searching for a Rat Fink driver for the purple Lotus that I found and somehow ended up with a spare orange BRM body topside. The dragster slicks are the originals. The keychain Finks are vintage, the red one I got out of a gum ball machine in the early 60's

There is a guy selling superb resin castings of Mr Gasser with side pipes and decals and  Rat Fink with one piece blower and decals. They are selling for @ $25.00. Not cheap but will certainly let you complete the Lotus. Ej's has Lotus windscreens for $10.00.

 

WANTED: Exhaust pipes for Lotus.
