Since the very first Batmobile was introduced in May 1930, there have been replicas made by fans and tuning houses everywhere. But never has one been made with an actual turbine engine that the Batmobile of the late 80s had in the film. Putsch Racing has done just that...minus the guns, rockets, gadgets and gizmos.
Putsch Racing is better known for restoring and tuning cars and bikes, but this one-off project is quite possibly Casey Putsch’s most unbelievable yet. Not to mention that the car sounds like a fighter jet. A really mean fighter jet.
Powered by a turbine engine taken from a decommissioned military helicopter, the Putsch designed Batmobile is a marvel in ingenuity. There’s even an iPad in there doing who knows what. Maybe they took a page out of Hyundai’s book and used it as an owner’s manual. We’d hope not though, something cooler seems more fitting.
What’s even better than Putsch designing and creating this fire-breathing beast? It’s for sale. But you’ll have to contact Putsch directly for a price, which is probably fairly high.
Hit the jump for some more information and an accompanying video of the Batmobile by Putsch Racing.

Here are some more pictures of my Leyland DAF as promised. The model is a limited edition "Commercial Motor " edition with the optional right hand drive dashboard but as the decals were perished, I decided to build the model as if it was my own truck.
The colour is from an automotive spray can and is called" Ford Juice Green Metallic" and is from Halfords Auto Store. The wheels and tyres in the kit were the hard plastic type and were swapped for a set from the Scania Wrecker. Various other details such as the airhorns, airlines,marker lights and toolbox were from the Italeri truck accessories kit, decals, numberplates and some interior items are from K.F.S.(Kit Form Services)
You may also notice the mountain bike tucked behind the cab, that is from the Fujimi roofbox set; inspired from seeing a mountain bike strapped to the back of a truck cab that passed me once whilst out on the road one day...

At Spa-Francorchamps
For the first time since he started his comeback at the beginning of last season, Michael Schumacher was the centre of attention as the Formula 1 circus rolled into the spectacular Spa-Francorchamps circuit ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.
Twenty years ago this weekend, the man who would go on to become the most successful racing driver of all time made his debut here for the Jordan team, which was also in its first season in the sport.
It did not take long for him to catch the eye - a stunning qualifying performance put him seventh on the grid, several places ahead of his vastly experienced team-mate Andrea de Cesaris. And although he retired after a few hundred yards with a broken driveshaft, Schumacher had made his mark.
By the time of the next race, Benetton had stolen him from under Eddie Jordan's nose - and the legend that culminated in seven world titles and 91 race victories began.
Although it is - as Red Bull's Mark Webber pointed out - only Schumacher's 17th season in F1, on account of the three he missed during his 'retirement', this weekend has partly been set aside to honour his achievements.
His Mercedes team are planning an event on Saturday, while Ferrari, with whom he won five of his seven titles, have promised "a little something to mark the occasion".

However you count the years, Schumacher's achievement came into sharp perspective when his rivals were asked whether they remembered his debut.
Most of them were too young to have any recollection of it at all, picking a later point in his career as the time they first became aware of him.
Most, though, were more than happy to pay tribute to his remarkable achievements, with the most glowing reference coming from Fernando Alonso, the man who ended Schumacher's run of five consecutive titles in 2005 and then won a memorable mano-a-mano duel between them the following season.
"Michael, I have great respect for him," Alonso said. "He is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in the history of our sport. There are numbers there it will be impossible to repeat for any one of us.
"It has been a great pleasure to drive with him all these years. I will always remember all the battles with him and for me it was a privilege to drive against Michael Schumacher. It will be something I always remember. Then he decided to stop and come back.
"I'm sure he missed the adrenaline and the F1 show. Now he is in the second part of his career, the car is not competitive, but he is still enjoying [it].
"There are some criticisms about his return and results now, but I don't agree with those.Michael three years ago was watching F1 at home. Now he is doing seventh or ninth but I'm sure he is happy every morning because he is doing what he wants to do."
When Alonso was racing Schumacher before his comeback, the German was the benchmark, so beating him gave the Spaniard's titles the ultimate stamp of credibility.
There are no questions about Alonso's greatness now, standing as he does alongside Lewis Hamilton as the new benchmark against which all drivers are measured.
For Schumacher, though, these are very different times, and the last 18 months or so have been punctuated by ongoing questions about the merit and wisdom of his return.
Last year, he was by and large pasted by team-mate Nico Rosberg - a man who for all his undoubted potential has yet to win a race. This season there have been signs of progress - while the younger German still comfortably has Schumacher's measure in qualifying, the veteran has looked more competitive in the races
It is clear, though, that Schumacher is not the driver he was.
Where once he appeared to dance at will on a limit beyond almost all his rivals, he now appears too often to be searching for that rarefied high wire, usually without success.
But the man who was famous for his willingness to do almost anything to win says he is satisfied with his current lot, scraping around for lower-ranking points as Mercedes battle to catch the top teams, while still insisting he wants to repay the German manufacturer for funding his debut and "return race wins and championships back to them".
His anniversary has given him a chance to reflect on a career that is still remembered for its many controversies as much as it is for his great success.
And in an interview with BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Lee McKenzie, which will be broadcast as part of the race build-up on BBC One on Sunday, he went as far as to admit he had regrets about some of the incidents that in so many minds went beyond the boundaries of respectability.
"Certainly I would do things differently," he said. "After 20 years in F1, you have a few regrets but, quite honestly, if I think it was 20 years, the few spots I have, you have to make mistakes to learn from them - and I think I do learn."
Asked if any of his mistakes stood out, he picked this race in 1998, when he lost a certain victory in the wet after crashing into the back of David Coulthard's McLaren. Once he had made it back to the pits, convinced the Scot had slowed deliberately to take him out, Schumacher charged off to the McLaren garage and had to be restrained from physically assaulting him.
"Maybe I should regret to go for an attack to David after he spoiled my race in 1998," he says. "We had this mysterious misunderstanding, I had a certain reaction, I think it was the first and only time I have been like this, I am normally a very balanced person."
It is perhaps revealing that of all the many incidents in his career, he should choose one for which he was not at fault, rather than his two title-deciding collisions with Williams drivers Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve in 1994 and 1997, or his decision to 'park' his car in Monaco qualifying to prevent Alonso beating him to pole position.
He still refuses to answer questions about the last incident and is resigned to the fact he will always - at least outside Germany - be a man who is more admired than loved.
"Everybody forms his own opinion about any person," he says. "I think I just want to be treated fair, that's the only think I look for. Who likes me or loves me, I'm happy about. Who doesn't, I understand, because you can't be loved by everyone."

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel has headed off for his summer holidays with a healthy championship lead but the world champion is still being criticised because he has only won once in four races.
Is Vettel cracking or is it just a blip; can his rivals at McLaren and Ferrari catch him and is Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone unfairly treated?

 Jean Todt arives for Wednesday's hearing |
?Whether you are for or against team orders, if the FIA could not back up its own rules and nail a competitor in a blatant case such as this the rule really does need reviewing. Perhaps Ferrari?s thinly-veiled threat to take the matter to the civil courts if they were punished too harshly scared the governing body, who as much as admitted the flimsiness of its rule."Paul Weaver, reporting for the Guardian in Monza, was in favour of the ruling which keeps alive Ferrari?s slim chances in an enthralling championship.
?The World Motor Sport Council was right not to ruin a compelling Formula One season by taking away the 25 points Alonso collected in Germany. That would have put him out of the five-man title race. But the council was widely expected to increase the fine and possibly deduct points from the team, as opposed to the individual. In the end, it could be argued that common sense prevailed. But the decision will dismay those who were upset by the way Ferrari handled the situation as much as anything else.?The Daily Mail's Jonathan McEvoy expressed outrage at the FIA tearing up its own rule book by allowing Ferrari to escape unpunished.
"Although the race stewards fined them �65,000 for giving team orders in July, the FIA World Motor Sport Council, to whom the matter was referred, decided not to impose any further punishment. It leaves the sport's rulers open to derision. It was, after all, their rule they undermined. In a statement, the WMSC said the regulation banning team orders 'should be reviewed'."

Hello,
I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and I am having a really hard time finding specific Testors colors.
There is a few hobby shops in my neighborhood, but they rarely stock the colors I need nor are they willing to specially order them. Of course the Testors web site cannot ship spray paints to Canadian addresses.
I was wondering what other Canadian modelers are doing to get that specific spray paint color.
Are there Canadian online stores where those could be purchased from?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mario

Sauber's Sergio Perez is the latest grand prix driver to choose his five all-time favourite races for BBC Sport's classic Formula 1 series.
The 21-year-old Mexican has impressed greatly in his maiden season this year, starting from a super drive into the points at his debut race in Australia, even if Sauber were later disqualified on a technicality. He is also leading his more experienced team-mate Kamui Kobayashi 6-4 on qualifying performances and has generally driven with maturity and assurance in the races.
Perez, like Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg before him, has not chosen any races in which he has competed. Instead, he has opted to select some of the most exciting races of F1's recent history. The Mexican's choices are as follows, in his order of preference:
1) Brazil 2008
The race when the championship battle between McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Felipe Massa went to the last corner of the last race, with Hamilton taking the fifth place he needed to win the title. Perez says: "I remember very well how exciting it was to see the outcome of the race, when Hamilton won literally in the last seconds the championship."
When Ferrari lost the world championship for Fernando Alonso following a terrible tactical error, with Sebastian Vettel winning the race and title for Red Bull. Perez says he chose this race because it was another "thrilling" finale to the championship.
3) Brazil 2007
Another title-deciding race, this one turning on a disastrous afternoon for Hamilton, who watched the title slip through his fingers after a mistake on the first lap. The Englishman ran wide and then a gearbox glitch dropped him to the back of the field. He recovered to finish seventh but lost the title by a single point to Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, who made up a 17-point deficit - then nearly two wins - in the final two races.
4) Brazil 2001
A typical race at Sao Paulo's Interlagos circuit, featuring rain showers, non-stop action and lots of overtaking. It was won by McLaren's David Coulthard, who completed an excellent overtaking manoeuvre on Ferrari's Michael Schumacher.
But the race is remembered for another passing move on the German, by Juan Pablo Montoya, who was driving in only his third grand prix. It was the manoeuvre that announced Montoya's arrival as a major - if mercurial - talent, lunging from distance in his Williams to pass Schumacher, who was not used to being dealt with in that way. "I liked it a lot when Montoya overtook Schumacher," says Perez. "It was a great move!"
5) Belgium 1998
Perez was only eight when this infamous race took place but even he describes it as "unforgettable". Held in pouring rain, there was a 13-car pile-up at the start, Michael Schumacher crashing out of the lead when running into the back of Coulthard's car in appalling visibility. The German then marched down the pit lane to confront his rival because he thought the Scot had taken him out deliberately.
In the end, Jordan secured its first win, achieved in controversial style when Eddie Jordan ordered Ralf Schumacher not to challenge team-mate Damon Hill for the win. But it was a race that had everything. And for that reason - and because it is the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend - we have embedded highlights of the race below. There are also are short and extended highlights of last season's thrilling race at Spa, won brilliantly by Hamilton.

Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari is the latest grand prix driver to pick his five all-time favourite races for BBC Sport's classic Formula 1 series.
The 21-year-old Spaniard has been impressing on the track in recent races, putting to one side speculation about his future with strong drives into the points in the last three races - Canada, Valencia and Silverstone.
Alguersuari is a singular character - outspoken and interesting, with a particularly idiosyncratic approach to his Twitter account.
He has applied that uniqueness to his choice of races for this feature, which we use to whet your appetites for the action to come at this weekend's German Grand Prix.
In chronological order, his choices are as follows:
A no-holds-barred, flat-out battle between F1's then top two drivers - Fernando Alonso and Michael Scumacher. It was reminiscent of a similar fight between Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen six years previously. Alonso, driving for Renault, put huge pressure on Schumacher throughout the race, so much so that the Ferrari's engine eventually broke.
The result did not quite secure Alonso a second consecutive championship but it did put him in a virtually unassailable position - and he made no mistake at the final race of the season in Brazil. This is the first time we have shown highlights of that Japanese race.
Alguersuari remembers that "there was a big casino with the rain and you had whatever Force India was then - Spyker maybe - actually leading the race and a lot of people crashing". He's right. This was a spill-a-minute race, won by Alonso, who was driving for McLaren. More on that in a moment.
"Because it was my first grand prix," says Alguersuari.
It was also the scene of a brilliant victory by Lewis Hamilton in a McLaren car that had started the season more than two seconds off the pace.
The 2010 Australian Grand Prix
This race will long be remembered for Jenson Button's inspired victory for McLaren. It was also enlivened by Alguersuari's brief but exciting tussle with Michael Schumacher, when the Spaniard re-passed the German legend after being overtaken.
"It was the first time I had really had a battle with someone in Formula 1," Alguersuari says. "It was the start of something good, of what was a big season for me in 2010. It was the basis of my championship."
Sebastian Vettel led Mark Webber to a comfortable Red Bull one-two but Alguersuari remembers the race because it was the one in which he scored his first F1 points. "That was very nice and something I will not forget," he says.
----------------------------
As always, we choose one of these races to highlight. This time, we have gone for the 2007 European Grand Prix, which was held at the Nurburging, the track that hosts this weekend's German GP.
It was an incident-packed weekend, starting from the moment Hamilton crashed his McLaren at high-speed in qualifying after a wheel came off, leaving the Englishman in 10th place on the grid, with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen on pole and Hamilton's team-mate Alonso beside him on the front row.
The Nurburgring, high in the Eifel mountains, is famous for its capricious weather - and this race was no different. After rain hit on the first lap, Spyker's Markus Winkelhock, making his one and only grand prix start, held the lead. The race was then stopped after four laps before Alonso and Raikkonen's team-mate, Felipe Massa, battled it out for the win.
In the dry, Massa pulled out a lead of about five seconds only for Alonso to cut it back in the closing stages. The late rain then gave Alonso the chance he needed.
After both men had fitted intermediate tyres, Alonso was much faster than Massa, the Spaniard passing the Brazilian with a superb move around the outside of Turn Five, the two men banging wheels as the McLaren went through.
The result moved Alonso to within two points of Hamilton in the championship - and set the stage for a cataclysmic sequence of events at the next race at Hungary.
The highlights of that thrilling Nurburgring race are embedded below - Murray Walker is the commentator as he did a one-off stand-in race for BBC Radio 5 live that weekend.
There are also links to short and extended highlights of last year's German Grand Prix, which was held at Hockenheim. During the controversial race, Ferrari asked Massa to hand the lead to Alonso, now his team-mate, to boost the latter's title chances.

Just a simple out of the box build. Have a few of these simple builds in the works while I recharge to get back on to some more serious builds.
Everything straightforward out of the box with no additional parts, details, etc. Still need to clear the body and add a few parts, but everything here representsa bout 3 hours of work. I have several of these kits and wanted to knock one out so I can start filling in a few empty spots in the display case.
