Tail Dragger

Sign in to edit


Description[]

Tail Dragger is based on a custom 1941 Ford Coupe with custom bodywork and side exhaust pipes.

The Tail Dragger is known for being very heavy due to its metal base. It is not recommended for use on Hot Wheels playsets as its weight and low ground clearance makes it difficult to climb steep slopes or go around loops.

Versions[]

The Tail Dragger has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:
