Ok, question for you all,  

I have a racer's wedge/open road camper double kit. Will the camper fit on this model as a single axle version. Are there any mod's to be performed?  Been wanting to build the camper for quite a while now.

yes it should. The double axle was just for the racers wedge body, the camper is standard single axle wheelbase.

I had a customer back in the late '60's that had a camper, just like the one in the kit, that he was trying to sell me. The chassis on the 1:1 was a two axel with duel rear tires, if this helps.

Both the Racers Wedge and camper are typical hokey MPC kits from that era. Neither are 100% accurate as they were marketed to kids and what did we know! 

The camper interior is a bit out of scale when I put my 1:25 scale ruler against the components, which ruled them out for use on my other camper projects where I scratch built everything instead.

Those geniuses will milk everything they can from a kit! This makes at least the third kit from that tooling, wonder if instead of a vending machine this will have a cooler?

I can only think of Two Hits on this tool, Recently.

This one and the Racer's Wedge version. Is there a Third one, I've missed?
