Bonneville belly tank lakester

Hello friends
Just after the 2nd world war , demobilized US GI’s decided to have some fun , building some small racers better knowned as « lakesters »
Using old P-38 external tanks , and , I imagine , with a lot of works in their barnes , they were able to run on old airfield or at Bonneville Salt Lake…..
Here is my lakester ‘s « vision » , scratchbuilded at the 1/32th scale .
It is really ….really small and it’s a pretty funny assembly job !!!
I was ready to build 3 of them but ……one is enough …for the peace of my neighbourhood !!!
The base is a Trumpetter 1/32 P38 Lightning drop tank

This … « thing » is ….front wheel drive as I didn’t want to damage the rear of the Lakester with a hard surgery .


were needed:
Ho Aurora front axle and crown
Ostorero’s Lotus 33 motor
Rear wheels are PCS with PCS tires
Front wheels are … ????? with Ninco tires
The guide is a Ninco too.
some Cold sweat and a good pair of glasses

Some pics are following , much better than my poor english.

I hope you will enjoy . Best regards .
