the goon Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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.

The double axle was just for the racers wedge body, the camper is standard single axle wheelbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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.
