Thanks for posting this. I never knew it existed, or anything like it in this scale. I always thought they were smaller scale or 1/24.

What sort of engine is supposed to be represented in the kit? Something real or is it generic?
If you're talking about the Roadster kit, it's a Tecumseh H50, though it would have been white.

For some reason, I thought this was a snap together model, but after closer inspection, it needs glue. I'm probably going to go ahead and paint it too.

The chrome pieces look pretty good, but a lot of the molding frame connects to the pieces in odd places, leaving exposed and visible black plastic on the finished model. I was a little let down by that, but I guess all the model kits are made this way. Either way, I'm glad they finally made them again. I'll have a blue one for the shelf and one new, in the box, to sit behind it.
