Drag Race Open Parachutes

1/25 resin Drag Race Open Parachutes

This pair of parachutes were made from a vintage Monogram Trick “T” model kit that was generously glued prebuilt. Because the chute was still attached to the body, it was somewhat challenging to obtain an initial mold just to produce a master. This means that, as opposed to the kit style it may have initially been, the rear side ended up being a flat surface.

As drag chute technology has advanced in modern times, this design would work best for old-school dragsters. You could add even more finishing touches by making your own custom fabric chute with thread and attaching it to the model completing the look.
