Red Baron
Krazy Kustom Kar!

  • Original year: 1968
  • Company: Monogram
  • Scale: 1/24
  • Designer: Tom Daniel

Inspired by the infamous German "Ace" of World War I, this madcap creation is the hit of the show-car circuit! Powered by a vintage Mercedes-Benz aircraft engine with six "trumpet" exhausts, it's got a custom interior you've got to see to believe. But don't get out in front of those side-mounted machine guns. The German Iron Cross shows up on the "alloy" wheels as well as the sides of the giant, plated, spiked helmet.

Dave's comments:

Probably the most recognized of all show rods. It's even in a display about the "Red Baron" in the big aircraft museum in Washington DC! Built more than once as a kid. This is a 1995 reissue.
