Scale & Parts Count
This Atlantis Midget Racer kit is a 1:20 scale model that measures 6.5 inches long when assembled. It contains 32 parts moulded in baby blue and includes a clear acetate windscreen, a driver figure and a detailed Offenhauser engine. The decal sheet has been updated with period-correct numbers and sponsors.
Skill Level & Audience
The kit is rated skill level 2, making it suitable for hobbyists who have built a few models before and can handle small parts and decal application. It is not aimed at beginners who need snap-fit assembly or very young children who require larger pieces. Collectors seeking a pre-finished die-cast replica should look elsewhere.
Assembly Notes
All parts are traditional injection-moulded plastic that require plastic cement and careful trimming of sprue gates. The tiny engine components and acetate windscreen demand patience and a steady hand. Common issues include losing the smallest parts during cleanup and silvering on the updated decals if a setting solution is not used.

Questions about this item
What glue and paint do I need to finish the 32-part baby-blue model?
The kit contains 32 parts moulded in baby blue; you will need plastic model cement and your choice of paint to assemble and colour the Offenhauser engine, driver figure and clear acetate windscreen.
Can I display this 1:20 scale racer alongside my older Monogram kits from the 1950s?
Yes — the model is a reissue of Monogram's first all-plastic kit from the early 1950s, so its 6.5-inch length and 1:20 scale match the vintage originals for consistent shelf display.
How do I know the updated decal sheet is applied correctly after assembly?
The refreshed decal sheet includes extra period-correct numbers and sponsor logos; when each decal sits flat without silvering and aligns with the body lines, the finish matches the era-accurate look.
