Changes: Bullet Nose

Latest revision as of 07:49, 8 April 2024

Description

The Bullet Nose is actually based on a "bullet-nosed" Studebaker Commander, hence the name of this casting. The Torpedo style was a new cartoon style introduced in 2005 and depicts a car in a skinny, torpedo-like shape with outboard wheels. These unique vehicles should perform well on track sets but the exposed wheels make them more susceptible to bending axles. Re-releases of Torpedoes vehicles have been somewhat limited, if existent at all.

Versions

The Bullet Nose has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:

Col #	Year	Series	Color / Tampo	Base Color	Window Color	Interior Color	Wheel Type	Toy #	Country	Notes / Variations	Photo

 ==Description==
-The '''Bullet Nose''' is actually based on a "bullet-nosed" Studebaker Commander, hence the name of this casting. This car was #3 of 10 vehicles in the Torpedoes series.  The ''Torpedo'' style was a new cartoon style introduced in 2005 and depicts a car in a skinny, ''torpedo''-like shape with outboard wheels.  These unique vehicles should perform well on track sets but the exposed wheels make them more susceptible to bending axles.  They're probably better suited for gravity-driven tracks than wall tracks or tracks with a [[booster]]. This series appears to be loosely based on the 2003 Kawasaki ZXR-9 Concept.  Re-releases of Torpedoes vehicles have been somewhat limited, if existent at all.
