"Blade Runner" A one off! Entirely hand built over a period of two years, this fantastic whimsical ice racer was built by master model maker Alan Hill. The fuselage was painstakingly built up in the proper woods around the air frame ribbing. It is patterned after Victor Stanzel's great design of the "Super V Shark." The power is a rare 1940, one year only, spark ignition Ohlsson & Rice .60 "Custom" gas engine. The running gear is complete and the racer is ready to tear up the ice. The running lights and the lamps on the detailed dash are functional. Impressive at 28 inches in overall length and riding on 19 inch shrouded blades. This is Alan Hill's final effort and by far his grandest. Simply the best!
