Slingster Customizing Dragster 1:25 Scale Monogram Model Kit #85-4997 Review

Review and Photos by Tony & Martha Gibson

Back in the 50s and early 60s these rail dragsters were the best of the drag strips around the county.  The only served one purpose, to go fast.  Not a lot of attention was paid to safety, and unfortunately a lot of drivers were seriously injured or killed. This just shows how far drag racing has come in safety and technology.  These cars can still be found today at vintage drag events and can still raise the hair on the back on your neck.

For the Modeler: This review is for the Slingster Customizing Dragster 1:25 Scale Monogram Model Kit #85-4997. It is a skill level 3 kit for the advanced builder.  There are 107 pieces to this kit and it comes molded in white, clear and chrome, two rear vinyl “pie cutter” drag slicks (no brand), and two narrow front drag vinyl runners with no brand marks. Included are “old school” looking water slide decal combo with six design features and very well laid out instructions.  This kit is a lot of fun to build and has many build options. It’s a nice kit on it’s own but it makes a great platform for detailing and aftermarket additions. Included are 2 completely different engines (Chevy & Hemi), 3 different intakes and 3 different exhausts plus a Chopped and Sectioned coupe body. The finished dimensions are; Length: 5-15/16″, Width: 2-1/2″, Height: 1-3/4″.  Have fun and keep the glue off the windshield – Tony.
