1967 Prot-slot Indy Turbine car

I've always found this car quite interesting and have been looking on and off for a Proto-slot kit made some years back. Finally got lucky and found one. Probably more accurate to describe this as assembly of a kit rather than a scratchbuild. The chassis is a laser cut kit you solder together and the body is your typical high quality Proto-slot. This came painted and unlike some other prepainted Proto-slot kit's I've owned and seen, the paint on this one is very good.

Chassis silver soldered, sand blasted and ready for paint.





Chassis painted and finish assembled.



Proto-Slot painted body mounted and ready to decal. I can see I'll need to paint the edge of the crown black once I decide on gearing.





I'll post updates as it progresses.

Very nice Matt! Truly a great and unique race car. Good to see the chassis pics of this kit. Are the wheels part of the kit too?
Be interested to know how much heat you need to apply for the silver solder ? That is some clean soldering you done there.

This would look great along side Chris' Coyote.
Look forward to the progress pics.

Hi friends,

Let's see mine... I've got the kit (prepaint) with the motor and the wheels.
