Holley Question

[Trainwreck]

IYO what would be the best representation of a kit provided 750 Holley carb in 1/25th scale? No resin. Thanks.

Right off hand, I don't remember any "decent" 1/25 scale 4779 Holley 750 carbs in any of the kits, there was a "reasonably decent" replica in the old Revell ASA kits, but if I'm remembering correctly, those were 1/24  (not that it's very noticeable on a 1/25 engine)......  Downside:  OOP kits, not too cheap now, and availability not so good either, only to get a carb.........  There are several GOOD outlets available (and members here) that provide 3D printed versions (since you're opposed to resin},  Texas 3D for one.    Hope that helps......

The ASA kits are listed as 1/25 and yes, they have rather nice carbs. Not sure why you're ruling out resin, but Fireball Modelworks has some excellent pieces.

My apologies!!!!  Went brain dead!!!!  YES, ABSOLUTELY!!!!  Fireball has some of the VERY BEST looking carbs available on the market, and in both 1/24 and 1/25 scales,  THANKS for bringing that to light, will probably be one of the best sources.   I thought his was  3D printed??????

Thanks for the responses gentlemen, I think I have one of the ASA T-birds in my stash from a purchased lot I'll take a look.

RancheroSteve, I've had zero good luck with resins so I avoid them like the plague. ( And I'm Cheap ).

Apparently some of his parts are now 3D printed, but I believe the carbs are still resin cast in order to get the detail he wants. They really are outstanding and his service is first-rate.

Also,  RON COON RESINS does both resin and 3D printed carbs, the newest 3D printed Holley (without air horn) is really pretty nice (have a stash of them)'

I can second that. They are absolutely beautiful.
