Terry Sumner Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Which resin caster makes the best, most accurate 1/25 scale Enderle Bug Catcher like in this picture? Appreciate your responses as I need to order one.... Hosted on Fotki Edited June 27, 2012 by Terry Sumner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You ready to finally spend that baptismal money of your's ? I'd say Competition Resin for the resin piece . I'd also check with Rick at Scale Dreams , he sells a polished metal one ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn3 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) enderle had different names for different butterfly openings....bug catcher, bird catcher, buzzard catcher. big and ugly injector.... finned, no fin....etc....I always thought the Revell piece that comes with the kits were an excellent version, but like any piece you do end up buying, the amount of work you're willing to put into it is the key....none of the butterflies "fly" with me....but here's a good page to sort of give you the different types and looks....all depends on what year of injector hat you're trying to recreate... http://www.goodvibes...er_Injector.htm Edited June 27, 2012 by rckymtn3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I know you asked about resin but the best one I have ever seen and worked with, proportionally, is a machined aluminum piece from Scale Repros. You would have to create your own butterflys and linkage but it looks the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wayne and I are on the same page , Rick carries the Scale Repros which is what I saw before , didn't know who produced the product , right church , same pew ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 In my opinion it's the Revell '68 Corvette, doesn't have injection but I don't see why that can't be scratchbuilt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McLaren Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Not cast but Ron Olsen 3D Specialties has a file you can print and it allows you to pick your style for most Enderlie hat's. The price for the print is quite reasonable, and once you own it you can print more for just the cost of the resin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
