there really is only one way to get one. and that is to scratch build it.
use your fang as a guide, create the space frame using brass rod, balsa wood for the engine, and ABS plastic for the body (on second thoughts vacuum mould the body)

shouldn't take long, probably take about 2-3 hundred hours to get correct.

john...
i could build you one if you could supply me with some drawings and measurements.

:D :D :D

It's a slow project but I'm getting there , body panels will be the hardest bit but have some ideas for that . Scale is 1:24 and I'm using the engine from the Tamiya cooper s model , everything else will have to be scratch built .
