i know it's probably a complete shot in the dark but I'm looking for a place to find a decent set of horns in a scale close to the tamiya semis that are 1:14 if you guys can help I'd great appreciate it, thanks in advance.

Hi Chris these horns are tiny for truck scale they are 1/20 or so . I've been looking for my 1/13.7 scale trains and end up making them myself . Mike

You would want G scale

G scale comes out to 1:22.5 is there anything closer to 1:14 even if it ends up being a little big?

Thanks for the link Bo Wallen unfortunately I can't ask the question being as I'm not a member of the forum and they're not accepting new members.

Try these folks. They're for ship models and the second one down comes in three different lengths.

When you are dealing with Inter-Species parts like this don't worry about what the scale of the part is.

I have parts that are for 1/8 cars that are right on scale for these trucks.

I'd look for either a G scale horn or an S scale horn. Get one on you might be surprised.

Like I said I have parts from 1/8 scale cars like windshield wipers and door handles that fit these trucks perfectly. A 1:1 car is much smaller than a 1:1 truck therefore its parts are smaller. If you use a larger scale part then the scale comes out right. Trains are much bigger than trucks, same thing works in reverse.
