The Turbine

A great video and story from the designer about the HOWMET Turbine car. Howmet TX

I love the Petrolicious videos. And this is another good one. It also makes me wonder about the old MPC kit of the Howmet Turbine. I'm wondering if that's the car MPC modeled? Or another variation? I have to go to work, so I don't have time to research it right now.

I wonder what that track is. I play Real racing 3 and some of those curves look awfully familiar.

Interesting car. I apologize I have been watching the Mura S video over and over.

That magazine in the video is an article about detailing the model car.  So there is either a kit of this beast or an article about how to create it...

MPC's model kits.

Great video.  I would like to have the original kit as well.

I've a couple of glue bombs that hopefully will yield me a nice model of the Howmet car. Does anyone know what model mag had the article for detailing the kit? The Can Am version does not look at all like the box art. Artwork  has a wind screen and kit has no windscreen and the shapes just in front of the cockpit are "off" a bit. Also artwork shows four headlamps whereas the kit has two. The Can Am kit will yield parts to restore the coupe however.
