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.
