This is on Wotan's Wants List, the elusive Hot Wheels Revvers Towin Terror.
Fetching an arm and a leg, I thought I'd have a go at making one for Wotan.
Taking a basic battered cheapo fire engine, this the finished product.
Little bits from the scrap box made for decent rear bed details.
Adding the crane seemed to bring it alive. The 'Rotring', [red ring] pen clasps stuck on each side were my little homage to Redline.
Front and back got a few coats of paint.
Real Revvers are powered by elastic bands. My mock revver doesn't work but I added one anyway for show.
The same with the rear tyre. Mines for show, the real ones wind up the band and ...
... away they go!
Hope you like this one.
Wow, what a great model. Just like the real thing, as Airfix ads once said.
