A classic reissue kit ideal for display, dioramas, or nostalgic shelf builds—designed for hobbyists who value vintage style and subject matter.
Ed “Big Daddy” Roth was a legendary American illustrator, cartoonist, pinstriper, and custom car builder. In the late 1950s and early 60s, Roth became a household name in Southern California's hot rod scene, with his outrageous “Weirdo” T-shirts exploding in popularity after being featured in Car Craft magazine in 1959. He went on to design wild show rods and a gallery of grinning monsters, including the now-famous Rat Fink.
Mr. Gasser was one of Roth’s most unforgettable creations—a flame-haired monster driving a screaming hot rod. Originally issued by Revell in the 1960s, this Atlantis reissue uses the original tooling with updated quality and packaging. Modelers will find the 38-piece kit a joy to build, featuring front and rear metal axles for functional wheels, colorful decal options, and vintage box art.
Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or diving into the weird world of Fink culture for the first time, Mr. Gasser is a loud, proud, grinning piece of model history. Stock is limited—and Roth fans know these don’t sit on shelves for long.
