The Midget is a resin from Big Donkey and the Roadster is a diecast. :D

I should have known! I've built a couple of those Bigdonkey resin kits myself. I guess what threw me off was the driver. I didn't realize he made a driver of this type. The driver that came with my kits looks just like the Monogram version.
Nice job using the sprint chassis. I'm going to try building a midget using that chassis too.

The driver of the midget is not from "Big Donkey", I wanted the driver to sit bolt upright like the drivers of the old midgets and sprints, he's from GMP diecast to complement their dirt car diecast. At the time they came 2 to a card. You can try googling GMP to get to their site. :banana-rock:

Just so you know, Big Donkey does now offer an "upright" driver. It's pictured on his website so know he has two versions of the midget kit. One with upright driver and long nose on the body and the other version is basically a repop of the Monogram hotsthot midget with leaning driver and short nose on the body.
Those GMP kits are VERY nice!
