Silver Foxx Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Really nice looking build , I like to see the 1/43 kits on here . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I honestly thought the only Howmet kit out there was the old 1/25 MPC item from decades ago. While this might be a smaller scale than that one, it's always nice to see one built this well. Would I be correct in guessing you created that windshield wiper yourself?

Rich Chernosky Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Nice job on that one Mark. 1/43 is not the easiest scale to work in and you pulled this one off beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Very nice indeed. I did not realize it was 1/43 at first. The scale just never caught on in the USA probably due to the origins of the promo and slot car markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Very nice. Speaking of Howmet, I was driving last evening near downtown Cleveland and spotted a warehouse signed as 'Howmet Aerospace'...related, company, I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Howmet, I was driving last evening near downtown Cleveland and spotted a warehouse signed as 'Howmet Aerospace'...related, company, I think... To quote Wikipedia: "The Howmet TX (Turbine eXperimental) was an American sports prototype racing car designed in 1968 to test the competitive use of a gas turbine engine in sports car racing. Planned by racing driver Ray Heppenstall, the TX combined a chassis built by McKee Engineering, turbine engines leased from Continental Aviation & Engineering, and financial backing and materials from the Howmet Corporation." Howmet was later bought by Alcoa Inc., which eventually became Howmet Aerospace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
