MPC Howmet II Can Am Racer Rev. 2.0

[ea0863]

Here is my interpretation of the Howmet turbine; mostly the MPC Howmet II, along with inspirations for the rear glass and extra parts from the Howmet I, and a few tidbits from other racers of that era. Oh, and a paintjob stolen straight from the beautiful car done by @aurfalien and shown on this forum. I hope he considers imitation as the greatest form of flattery!  

Anyone looking for information on this MPC kit or my build, check out the WIP section under the same title as this post. And I double-dog-dare you to figure out what the real glass was made from without checking out the WIP! As always, feel free to critique as you see fit, and thank you for your interest.

That's a really nice build. I'm unfamiliar with that car. But it looks very sharp. Flatter yourself for doing a nice job!

Awesome job!

Thank you Carl. I had a lot of fun using my new vacuum forming machine to make the windshield. Also, the rear glass was quite fun to cobble together from an unlikely source...

[Ulbo]

Perfect idea and built?

[Gramps46]

Very well done.
