im voting for 1/8

and i like how you did the pin striping around the flames
it gives them something, like makes them more flamey or something
idk but its good

Yes, those are 1/8th scale. I have done a few of those and there are some small characteristics that are unique to those 1/8th scale bodies. Those are the protoform also.

I agree the pin stripe around the flames seems to make them stand out more.

whoa, thats a little high.

Try 10 for fine detail.

30 for bigger areas.

And what compressor are you using, does it have a tank?

I use the Createx retarder to thin with. I can get 16oz for less than 5 bucks. It works great.

looks great Little Bahnatka! 1 word of advise... you should put a protective coat of white or silver over the finished paint, that will keep the paint from scratching off.
