Dominik Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Hallo buddies, once a time, i built a Phantom Turbinecar Stationwagon. Now, what to do with the original body out of the EZ-Build-Kit from JoHan? That was the question. Today, i will present you my 10th(!) Turbinecar, named "Showtime". A lot of kitbashing, scratchbuilding only little a bit, wiring, bmf and paintjob as always - ready to run Here we go - have fun with the pictures. stay tuned....
John Teresi Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Dominik.....thats very cool!!!!!......GREAT job.
Dominik Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 ...to take a look underneath the body: Open up! and a little bit closer: The last picture outside in the sun, so you can take a better look to the colors (also the yellow-colored decals): Thank you for your attention. Say what you think, goods or bads - comments always welcome. Thank you John and Romell!
aarondupont Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 That is totally outstanding! I've always wanted to build a Turbine. But did not want to build it stock. Thanks for the idea. Now I need to find one. Maybe a Hemi powered gasser!
W-409 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 This looks fantastic! It looks much better as "non Turbine version". Funny Car Frame fits nicely inside the body and I like the engine detail alot. You gave me an interesting idea, I have one Turbine Car Gluebomb, which was going to be Custom, but since I don't have good chassis or interior for it.........
slusher Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 That is a really neat build, l like it. you did a really good job. Awsume ldea
Chris in Berwyn Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Very, very cool! Is that an MPC chassis? Chris
Dominik Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Thank you everybody for kind words! i appreciate it. For the basic i took the Revell "Avenger Funny Car" (Kit# 7652) that was not complete and reduced the frame about 1.3mm to get the correct wheelbase. Also i reduced the handlebars, fuellines. The luck of the builder is, as the rear wheels that i bought from GMS-Customs are exactly as wide as the body, so that i had no work on the inside of body or make the rear axle narrow. Your ideas, to build it as custom, hemi or anything else sounds good! Some more versions will follow, if i complete some other work on my bench
Silver Foxx Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 A very different style of funny car - I like what you have done, it looks great.
Chuck Most Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Awesome! Must say this is the first time I've seen the Turbine done as a drag car.
rustybill1960 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 B) One FRIGGIN" AWESOME concept Man!! I love the ideal here!! Thank You for sharing!! Later Russ
Mooneyzs Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 This is a really nice build. I like how you worked this body onto the funny car chassis. Looks Slick
charlzrocks Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 more of us here should be as creative...good "Show"!
gerdog Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Nice ..... real nice. I do have a comment though, there is no parachute on the back. I suppose that the fluted rocket tips on the back could be where packed 'chutes could be on a full size dragster.
