927 - AMT 1/25 Flying Wedge Dragster (Discontinued) 

The AMT 1/25 Flying Wedge Dragster Model Kit (kit #927) is a classic and highly sought-after drag racing model that captures the bold innovation of early 1970s rear-engine dragsters. Known for its distinctive wedge-shaped body design, this kit stands out as a unique representation of a transitional era in NHRA drag racing, when aerodynamics and safety advancements began reshaping the sport.

This 1/25 scale model features a detailed multi-piece wedge body, accurately replicating the streamlined profile that gave the “Flying Wedge” its name. Builders will appreciate the intricate rear-engine setup, complete with exposed components, injector scoop, and racing headers that reflect authentic AA/Fuel dragster engineering. The long, narrow chassis and oversized rear slicks further enhance the aggressive stance and realism of the finished build.

As part of AMT’s Original Art Series, the kit also includes expanded decal graphics and retro-style packaging, making it especially appealing to collectors. Some reissues even feature updated tooling, including improved body panel thickness and enhanced detailing for a more accurate build experience.

Now discontinued, the Flying Wedge Dragster has become increasingly hard to find, adding to its desirability among hobbyists and vintage kit collectors.  Whether you're a seasoned model builder or a fan of classic drag racing history, this kit offers a rewarding project and a standout display piece that celebrates one of the most eye-catching designs of its time.
