I totally feel you for the carbs details. In fact, the carb tops are from another kit. They were more realistic than the ones from the box, but yet, i should've worked them a bit more.
That's a real downer that bugs me, the majority of the carbs for 1/24-1/25 kits really sucks. Not realistic at all. I've build tree kits that had realistic carbs: AMT Plymouth duster 1971, the AMT dodge charger 1971 and the Revell 1969 Dodge Charger. Since i don't want to purchase full models only to cannibalise one part, I've search the net to find a company that makes hyper realistic cards for 1/24, 1/25 kits. Nothing interesting from "Delail master", and nothing esle on the net either.
Thank for the constructive critic. I'm always open for suggestions.
