Silver Foxx Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 Really nice looking build , I like to see the 1/43 kits on here .
Monty Posted August 17, 2020 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 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.
cobraman Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Looks great ! I cant do those small kits anymore but there are so many cool ones out there.
TonyK Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Always liked this unique car and you did a great job! 1/43rd scale are not seen often but nothing wrong with them.
Scale-Master Posted August 18, 2020 Author Posted August 18, 2020 Thanks guys! This one is 100% straight out of the box, including the PE wiper.
vamach1 Posted August 20, 2020 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.
Rob Hall Posted August 20, 2020 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...
Dodge Driver Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 It's always great to see a well-built Howmet in scale!

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.
