RAFF-35

I've seen several of these types of models before where there's an aircraft fuselage of some description with big off roady tyres and a general mad Maxy feel to them, I was just wondering if there was a specific name for this style or not.... Thanks guys  ;D

Maybe "Post Apocalyptic Cyberpunk".

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

Thanks guys, its the right style, but I've seen a few of these racers with aircraft parts used, but I couldn't find anything like it online for some reason

I believe it's inspired by a series of resin models called 'Junk Tank Rock'.  Splitting hairs, but more dieselpunk than cyberpunk.  I think the original racer was called the Talon and based on a Spitfire.  A few here have had a go at something similar, puddingwrestler comes to mind but the pics are dead for me:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
