"Here he comes
Here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone.

Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer

This is my build of the Polar Lights Mach 5 race car kit which I bought some years ago. The car was featured in the 1967 anime cartoon, Speed Racer...

The car is a marvel of engineering and comes equipped with several advanced gadgets including: a robotic flying homing drone, spinning saw blades that slice thru obstacles in front of the car, automatic jacks for boosting the car up off the ground and short distances thru the air, a special bulletproof canopy and periscope for underwater travel, and many more...

How the hell did I miss this terrific Trekriffic post? Shocked

This is an amazing model of the beautiful car I love so much, from a movie that should have been a huge hit. And the photos are stunning! I can't imagine how long it took to set up all those shots, get the lighting just right, take dozens of pictures, and select the ones we see above.

And that's just the pictures! How long did take to build this remarkable model?

Thanks, Trekriffic. All Sci-Fi is very proud to feature your fine work. Very Happy
