Veterans Day 2024 Limited Release
Every few years, we do a Veterans Day release, and this year we were prompted by the Mil Spec OD Green Cerakote we received on the INK fountain pens back in October. That color brought to mind the old U.S. Woodland (M81) camouflage pattern, specifically the green used in that pattern. It’s not a perfect match, but Mil Spec OD Green does translate to a very fair middle ground of all of the greens used in modern U.S. military uniforms, vehicles, and accessories. The Cerakote itself coats uniformly and provides a very low reflection with little or no gloss to it. The Speedster V2 usually gets a color that has an automotive flare to it, however, we decided to release a very limited number of the Speedsters with this awesome Cerakote finish. This Limited Release is even more unique because we’ve selected a custom graphic and military date code that have been lasered on the bottom of the Speedster, and each Speedster is serialized #__of 15.
The Mil Spec OD Green Speedster V2 is our latest Cerakote Speedster with anodized wheels in the V2 size. What changed, you ask? The biggest change is the overall size of the Speedster V2 itself. The initial Speedster was nearly 7 inches long from wheel-to-wheel (6″ body length) and weighed 1.85 pounds. The Speedster V2 is 4.65 inches from wheel-to-wheel (4.25″ body length) and weighs 0.65 pounds. The wheel system for the Cerakote and custom-painted versions features thread-in on axles that do move, as opposed to the version we released in Meteor Grey which did not roll. This may cause some wear on the Cerakote at the base of the wheels, but we had a lot of comments requesting rolling wheels, so we changed it. The body of the Speedster V2 is milled from 6061-T aluminum, in a multi-step process before being polished and anodized in bright blue. The wheels are machined on our lathes from 6061-T aluminum, after which time we’ve cleaned and deburred them. The Mil Spec OD Green Speedster V2 features the same Mil Spec OD Green Cerakote as several of our Veteran’s Day 2024 limited release pens, expertly applied in a uniform coat over the body of the car. We’ve anodized the wheels for this release in a satin black, giving this Speedster an amazing look that makes this release look amazing. Ships in bubble wrap, in a small box.
