Very good info there. I have 2 Iwatas , NEO & Eclipse, 2 Badger Patriots and a Passche H with a #3 tip. I normal use MCW lacquer or Createx Candy20 on 1/2th cars. My thoughts are with the larger paint surfaces do I need to use something larger ?

For those that paint LARGE SCALE, what size airbrush (or spray gun) do you recommend ?

Personally I would like to close this thread

Yes the original post was a simple question that only required a simple answer with minimal explanation.

I think I feel disrespected. Glad there so many forum experts on here to keep us clueless in line

Mine was the Revell Roth Outlaw in 1963. It turned out so bad I am surprised I didn't give up on the hobby right then and there. I have a few of the Outlaw kits in my stash by haven't brought myself to build one LOL

Thanks for all the insightful answers. I think my question has been answered. Thanks again for all the responses

Has this ever been considered ?

I like the Cragars but also the Ansens

I checked them out. My pockets are not deep enough for them

I have a Golden T and it has a lot of Gold Chrome. What would be the best way to change it to regular chrome ? The only thing I can think off is stripping it and using Alclad on it but it really falls short of looking like real chrome, especially on a 1/8th scale Rod.

I have decided to use the pullies from the kit .

That is what I may need to do

Any place carry 1/8th scale Engine Pullies ? Some resin parts do not do well in shipping.

Being new to Large scale I bought a 1/8th Golden T kit off Ebay. (not this one,) Turns out it is a Double kit. Box contained two of everything.

My interests are hot Rods, So far I have 1/16 Lindberg Serpent and Bull Horn T and the Revell 34 Phaeton and 34 3 window coupe . I have been watching the 1/8 Golden T on ebay but not sure of the price at $270, nothing to compare it with. I have been buying the engines from Texas 3D customs and tires and wheels from 3D Scale Parts. Are these the only sources of aftermarket parts ? I never build anything out of the box. So far I haven't paid over $40 for a kit

Any preferred places to buy large scale kits and aftermarket parts.?

MCW Paints carries all the Cobra colors by name.

Good information, Thanks for posting

You have to do what works for you. My only problem is I cant find anybody that makes separate pulleys in larger scales. I thought about getting a Hobby Lathe and making my own put have no place o set it up.

I appreciate the improved fan belts. Only thing better would be no belts just pulleys. But I know that can't happen. Speaking of your accurate scaling , I purchased a 1/16th for a T Bucket build and it was a wee bit wide for the frame so I purchased another in 1/18th scale. Problem solved As you know I have purchases many engines from you and will continue to do so, Keep up the great work.

Anybody carry aftermarket engine pulleys in large scale (1/16th) ?
