Getting back into car modeling

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.
