1971 Kraft Promo Sports Car

Today’s build is a very simple sports car from a 1971 Kraft promotional set “Mini-Wheel Model Maker No. 3“. 12 pieces (16 if you count the tires individually).

In practicing how to use the LDraw lego software, I have re-created the instructions for this model as a higher-resolution (300dpi) easy to print PDF as well:

When we made this model, we didn’t have any clear roof tiles or front-grille pieces handy, so we made our own grille and used blue for the glass. Pretty simple and easy to build!
