Resin Offy for the Kurtis Roadster?

[firstturn]

Trying to get back into the world of Indy car modeling... Is there any source for one of the above mentioned items... I know the late Chris Etzel did a remarkable piece and I guess ARM did as well but they have come and gone it seems in my absence... Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction....!

I believe Replicas & Miniatures Co. Of Maryland makes an Offy engine. It's for the Rislone Spl conversion but it should fit a roadster.

Thank you. I'll get in touch today!

Indycals has a resin Offy, but it's for rear-engined cars. You'd have to cut off the transaxle.

Not to mention in the turbo era they are nothing like they were in the roadster era.

And that's why you are you, and I will always remain a novice. :-)

Man, one time I had an Etzel kit with a beautiful Offy in it... I think it was the Dean Van Lines sprinter or Champ car... Did anyone reproduce these other than ARM...? Is there no market for a roadster era Offy.....?

Replicas & Miniatures Co. Of Maryland did make a copy of the Etzel Offy before American Racing Miniatures,
He may still have some for sale,. It's worth contacting him about this.
You could also rework the Offy that came in the Kurtis kit.

I talked to Vern the other day. He will be reissuing the Etzel for his line (20 bucks a piece. I ordered two) soon. It's worth the wait for sure.
