Anyone have photos and or dimensions of the Rootlieb speedster body kit? I make scale models and want to duplicate this kit in miniature and any help would be appreciated

Joel, I am planning a brass era speedster project in the future. I found a plastic model kit on line manufactured by ICM. Their kit number 24015.
I will use the model to plan my full size version.
Good luck,
Bill

Hi Bill
Yes I have that kit but the frame is cast with the fenders. I was thinking to have a more accurate frame set designed in photo etched brass in the same scale. Just need some good dimensioned drawings that aren’t 1926-27 but have the older rear crossmember. Plus need the longer hood
