1Coroner Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hi all .... been away from modelling for many years and now getting back into it. The tools and technology sure have improved! I plan to build the 1/8 Revell XKE patterned after the real-world one I owned in the early 70's. There are about half a dozen on ebay this week. Eye-watering prices, but there you go. I plan to strip the chrome off the wheels (great advice on this forum BTW) and paint them, because they were painted from the factory on my car. A question ... I have a Grex TG3 airbrush with .35 needle. Is this suitable for painting such a large model? I've read that some car modelers paint with rattle-cans to get good coverage. Good advice? I just finished a five year restoration of a Panther J72 which uses Jaguar running gear. I had webers on it for a while, but went back to SU HD8 carburetors. I can supply photos of both carb setups if someone could benefit from them. Kendall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hello Kendall... from about 2000 miles east of you, Im in Chicago. I have an Iwata Neo with .35 and do everything from surface to fine line mottles on German aircraft. You should be ok for most if not everything with your A/B.
