bigphoto Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Hi Gang, I have a project in mind using the Revellogram super-modified the one that came with the trailer but I am not a Chevy fan (personal choice nothing against those who are ) but I would like to know if anyone produces an Offy 4 banger in resin? and where to get one. TIA

TIA Etzel's Speed Classics made a fabulous, 1:25 scale 270/255 cid Offenhauser 4-banger several years back, but they are out of business. This engine was so well mastered and cast, you'd think it was a repop of something from the likes of Tamiya. Keep an eye on eBay, one might show up there. Biscuitbuilder
bigphoto Posted March 14, 2006 Author Posted March 14, 2006 I will keep a look out however I posted the same ? on another site and got an interesting idea the fellow told of a car that ran in northern CA that ran on gas with a Weber inducted 289 Ford

Gray Smith Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Yep Norm offers one, I got one a few months back..its a resin re-pop of the Etzel's motor, and very high quality at that.. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22278 heres a review on it with some very nice pics

TIA Give Jason & Michelle a try at http://www.thepartsbox.com/ they do a very nice offy.
LDO Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Give Jason & Michelle a try at http://www.thepartsbox.com/ they do a very nice offy. It doesn't compare to the one offered by Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland.
Art Anderson Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Give Jason & Michelle a try at http://www.thepartsbox.com/ they do a very nice offy. That's a repop of the styrene lump from Monogram's '55 Kurtis Kraft 500C Indianapolis Roadster--crude for 1956 (when it was introduced, even more crude by today's high expectations). Norm Veber's 255cid Offy is correctly done in 1/25 scale, and is HIGHLY detailed. It was first done by Etzel's Speed Classics, and any who knew Chris Etzel, or ever had any of his ESC race car kits can attest to their accuracy and perfection. Art
kitbash1 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 It doesn't compare to the one offered by Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. I have to agree with you on this one. Excelent repop of the Etzel Offy.
LDO Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Well I'm glad I didn't have to resort to comparisons with elephant parts.
Tommy Kortman Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I have to agree with the assesment of Norm's Offy. I bought one from him at the LIARS show last year, and I dont even have anything to put it in. It is a work of art all by itself.
