Chuck Most Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Very, very cool! That turbo piping almost looks like some kind of sci-fi torture device!
Jairus Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) By golly I think John has.... IT! Yes fellow modelers, "IT" is that little bug in your head that says you will build this project just rightregardless, never settling for second best! I like what I am seeing John. Turbo is perfect once you get that little butterfly in the waste-gate. (Dang, you almost make me want to build one too....) Edited September 20, 2010 by Jairus

David G. Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 On a coolness scale of 1 to 10, this goes to 11... at the very least!
BigEdsGarage Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 This is awesome! Great detail and execution of the original concept artwork (which is also very cool itself). I love all the scratch built parts, they really add life to the build. Like the Beach Boys sang..."If she had a set of wings man you know she could fly"
