By which I mean, tiny little sewing machine-engined Italian sports cars of the immediate postwar era; OSCAs and Siatas and Stanguellinis and Giaurs and such. As seen in profusion here: www.cliffreuter.com/etceterinihomepage.htm Worth a look if you admire quirky, gorgeous combustion-engined rollerskates from the age before roofs and crash-protection standards. There exist a few models in 1/43rd scale, but I'd purely love to see the the resin cottage-industry make some of 'em in 1/24th. So far, I ain't seen much. Probably wishful thinking. But. Know of any?

Thanks for that link! I've always wanted a Fiat-Stanguellini Formula Junior model of Jo Siffert's first real racing car! Front engine, blown Fiat motor, neat little car! From the days when the cars were about power and beauty & the drivers were about balls!

I think Profil and Fisher had done some of those cars, not well known or popular subjects, sales didnt support the effort and most dropped them. Great little cars that peak my interest from time to time.. Chris

Talk about a nitch racing interest. Honestly, I barely knew of them, and not at all of any of those kits.
