Wheels Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Who makes a decent 1/25 scale tachometer? Looking for a tach similar to a Auotmeter racing tachometers and the older Sun tachometers. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Ive taken an oil filter from the parts box, make sure It's solid, or fill it with putty, paint it add a gauge decal and wire it, add a loop of foil around the gauge face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Or any round piece of plastic, some spures are big in diameter to be a tach, I have used spure before, and use a gauge decal from a NASCAR gauge set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Revell Pro Sportsman kit has great tachometer, with is pretty close of Autometer Sports Comp tachometers. And the best thing is, that there is a shift light. I installed one in my Nova Stocker, and it looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake69 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If you want a normal not a super dial...Detail Masters makes a nice kit #3220 Holy Cow.... what TOOLS can handle detail at that level of magnitude??? I probably couldn't SEE most of those parts without some sort of readers, and the smaller the parts are, the more my hand starts shaking trying to handle them. WOW!!!

MikeMc Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hey mike do this come with instructions ? I know it's a dumb question but i would need some for that Wow. The detail is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar01lee Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 ive been tryin to cast them tachs from the sportsman kit.. some are good an some have no shift light...lol but still all useable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadhawg Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I've been using the MCG tach, but looking at that Detail Master.....well.....I MUST order a few. And since I build 70's stuff, the shift light is of no consequence. We didn't need a light to tell us when to shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 I found a nice tach in the Revell Acura Integra pre-decorated kit. I guess it is in the Integra glue kit. It has a shift light and pretty nice details. Here's a picture of mine. It's box stock. I painted the wheels aluminum instead of gold. Hosted on Fotki I'll add pictues of the tach later.
