Foxer Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I tried once but for a single barrel I couldn't find a casting of. It didn't come out that great, but it would have improved the 2nd time if I tried. Carbs have very small detail at 1/25 and the main reason so many are very simplified. Like any scratchbuilt part you just have to break it down into basic shapes and fit them all together. There are some really nice after market carbs around that had to have masters made to start with. Take a look thru this thread for carbs .. This is a link to the carb I attempted, just for reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
