where do you guys find this smaller models to make slot cars , i have never seen them as kits around here? They are very unique

I usually find them at flea markets, model kit shows, or ebay. They usually sell for a lot less than the older 1/25 scale kits, as 1/32 is not a popular model builder scale. Your Petty dirt tracker looks great!
