saw this at the IPMS show over the weekend - a beautiful replication of an F1 engine... ok, so it's not a Formula One engine, but it is an F1 engine from a Saturn V rocket   |

That is so Cooolll!!!! Was it a kit, resin kit or?  ?? In Canoga Park, not too far from me they built those and have a actual engine out in the parking lot, its Huge. They also tested those inside the Santa Susanna Mtns, right behind where I lived, the ground shook, the Sound was unreal even though it was deep inside a mountain, bummer is Now they have a Huge Toxic Mountain they cant figure out how to clean up!!!!

A few of our IPMS Boise club made it to the Nats. I'm sure that I'll hear more about this model!
Thanks Michael,
Paul

The IPMS Nats was a blast this year. Lots of great models. I was able to make a few bucks and bring home an award. I saw Mike at the Revell Table twistimg arms to get more Indy kits in plastic out of them.

This is a really cool engine! I really like their treatment of the burnt metal on the hydrogen feed tubes, it is a true art. After a little googling I found it is a kit in 1/20 scale. Just right for those Tamiya and other F1 cars. Except it is Turbo Charged. Or maybe a 1/8 scale LSR machine. check it out... www.customreplicas.com/accurate_models_division.html |

If that F1 was in an F1 I wonder what size tires you'd need to make the first turn? Can you imagine the size of the brakes! Just think sitting between a fuel tank of liquid hydrogen and a fuel tank of liquid oxygen! Exciting isn't it! LOL!
