Well, there ya go. I have a memory (somewhat reliable) of seeing one of these at the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows.

Yeah I have vague memories of seeing one on the road in the early-mid 60s.

Thanks,

Ah Hah! Geez, you're a good ways down the road on this and it looks GREAT! I say leave it out [sic] and get to the finish line with it.

This might indeed be a record for the most Turbine builds at one time on any model forum in North America.

It looks fantastic. I'll be stealing a few ideas of course. :giggles:
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...
