1/24 Scarab engine source?

[aurfalien]

Hi,

Wondering if any one knows of a 1/25-1/24 Scarab MK4 engine source?

The intakes looks very unique.

Are you doing the Reventlow version with the Buick or the Mecom version with the Chevy?

The later smallblock Chevy-engined version uses side-draft Weber carbs. The setup could be represented by the Accurate Miniatures Corvette Grand Sport induction system.

Actually, that whole engine is kinda a work of art (the AM Corvette GS smallblock Chebby).

I dunno but based on your post and whats available, I'll use the Grand Sport

Do you think the AMT IMSA Camero would be a slightly better starting point engine wise, or at least not a worse one?

I seem to recall that I used the engine from the Craig Carter IMSA Camaro on this one.

It's only a curbside, so not much of it shows. Are you building yours "full detail"?

I built an insert from some leftover resin stacks, and attached them to the underside of the body. Since its still a curbside, it enough to suggest there's an engine under there.

Well, I plan to, with a twist of course
