whitetrash Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 So I was digging through an old, unfinished model from when my father was a teen and what do I find? Its the Astro kit that came with the turbine engine option. All the pieces still seem to be attached to the tree and the intructions are there for it too. Now the question is what do I do with this treasure?
Guest Johnny Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Simple, BUILD IT!!! That is what it was made for!
whitetrash Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Oh I fully intend on building it, but should it be cast in resin first? Is anyone interested in this engine anymore?
pete3522 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 that kits sellin on ebay for 150.00 plus i would build it with the turbine
Jim B Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Dom Loomis already casts it in resin: http://my.inbox.com/photos/escort500xl/index.aspx Check his page "6 Cylinders & Other Engines". An alternative vendor is always nice, though.
BigBad Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Dom Loomis already casts it in resin: http://my.inbox.com/...00xl/index.aspx Check his page "6 Cylinders & Other Engines". An alternative vendor is always nice, though. There must be someone wanting to make an alternative powered truck with one of these turbines for sure! And you never know when the cast molds for resin parts will give out, so another one would be welcome.
