You could contact Dave Newell for a steel and Alumilite version in 1.6" scale.

Railroad Supply just finished making Fiberglass bodies for a guy in GA. It is an A B set. We are having 5 A unit frames made and we have one b unit frame left in stock at the moment. All frames include the fuel tanks. I'll be there tonight to drop off the B unit Frame For the one we are making right now. I will include pictures for anyone interested. They came out pretty nice. Just minor body work which we do before delivery.

Here are a few Photos of the A & B set we just did in fiberglass. At this stage of the build you can either make the F units F3 or F7 depending on what you want.
