Build a legendary machine from the golden age of American drag racing!

Recreate one of the most famous names in drag racing with the Atlantis Models Don “The Snake” Prudhomme AA Fuel Front Engine Rail Dragster 1:24 Scale Plastic Model Kit.

Don Prudhomme became one of the biggest stars in American drag racing, and his incredible front-engine fuel dragsters helped establish “The Snake” as a name recognised by generations of racing fans. This Atlantis Models release brings that classic drag racing era back to your workbench in an exciting 1:24 scale model kit.

A Classic Dragster Returns

This special release features a classic Don Prudhomme decal scheme that had not been offered since 1973, making it an especially appealing kit for vintage model builders, drag racing enthusiasts, and collectors.

The model is moulded in white plastic with gleaming chrome parts and includes real rubber tires for a more authentic finished appearance.

Underneath all that classic rail-dragster styling is a detailed 426 Hemi engine, one of the most legendary powerplants associated with the era of nitro-burning AA/Fuel drag racing.

Experience the Golden Age of Drag Racing

Before rear-engine Top Fuel dragsters became the standard, front-engine rail dragsters were among the wildest machines in motorsports. Drivers sat behind massive nitro-burning engines while these long, lightweight machines rocketed down the quarter-mile.

Don “The Snake” Prudhomme became one of the defining personalities of this incredible period in American drag racing.

This kit captures the unmistakable appearance of a vintage front-engine AA/Fuel rail dragster, from its long chassis and exposed engine to its narrow front wheels, massive rear slicks, chrome components, and racing parachute.

A Great Kit for Builders and Collectors

Whether you are a longtime fan of Don Prudhomme, collect vintage drag racing memorabilia, or simply enjoy building classic automotive model kits, this Atlantis Models release makes a fantastic addition to your collection.

At more than 10 inches long when completed, the finished model has excellent display presence and looks especially impressive alongside other classic drag racing kits.

Pair it with the Tom “Mongoose” McEwen AA Fuel Front Engine Dragster to recreate one of the most famous rivalries in drag racing history.
