Kreiger runabout

[Pete in Lincs]

I recently found a 'gluebomb' on the bay. It was a good price and I was curious.

Battery powered, adhesive smeared and with an anti aircraft gun on the roof, what's not to like?

It's an old Gunze Sangyo product and is somewhat of a Land Cruiser 'egg' model in 1/24th. But I wanted it to be 1/20th.

Once disassembled, I cut off the roof. The dashboard and wheel from a 1/20th kit was added and the rear inner arches faired in.

 

Underneath there were huge differentials to cover the gears so I made up some tubes and odd bits as a rough drivetrain.

 

And this was the end result. Helmut seems pleased. It wasn't worth doing a WIP as it took no time at all.

 

It's a bit mad with the huge wheels but it does the job.

 

No pedals/gearshift and you can see through to the front, but I was only after a quick build anyway.

Rough and simple but it'll probably never be seen again anyway. Though that depends on Helmuts driving.

Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome. Pete

Location corrected That's a fun project, and that dude looks suspeciously like an old boss of mine
