This is more of a question than a "wanted" request; what 1/25 kits have a '70s funny car scoop with excellent details that are well-molded and similar to the pic I've posted here?

Are any available from resin and/or 3D printing sources? 

Looking for some recommendations for where to source one of these scoops in 1/25... or, if anyone has one sitting at the bottom of their parts box that's looking for a new home, I'd be willing to make a trade, too! Thanks all!

My favorite scoop is from the Revell Funny car/dragster series. The main problem is most have a nasty seam where the top and the bottom are joined. A resin or 3D unit might be the way to go.

Mark, as Mike and Andy have stated the Revell Top Fuelers as well as MPC and later AMT Jawbreaker kits contain nice Bug Catcher injectors.  As Mike says the Revell units had were a 2 piece affair and I believe it was done that way to accommodate functional butterflys.  I don’t have a Revell unit in this little handful of injectors but I believe one is the unit frim the Jawbreaker.  Andy perhaps can help here. See I never had the kit.  These are part of a box of blower components I got from a late friend which he collected over 50 years so I’m not sure from where they all came.

Anyhow…..you want ‘em, they’re yours.
