Totally agree on both points. I have done some amazing Fujimi kits but there are some absolute bombs out there as well!

The Nazca was exactly my thoughts as well and since I built that one as one of my first builds, I really need to build that kit again now that I have improved many of my skills. I have one in my stash and want to get to it by the end of this year. Thanks for watching!!!

@@ScaleAutoGarage great! Enjoy it!

THank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much!

Wow, thanks, appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoy my work!

Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate it.

I appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed the build.

Sugumi, not Sagumi.

Yes, I watched that build. It was amazing, I love his work and his video style. So chill. I've wanted that Dome kit for many years but after seeing how bad the decals are...not so sure. haha. Glad you ejoyed the video. Pinkie up with your tea sir. haha.

Thanks Jun, I wanted to try something a little different. I like how this played out. Thanks for watching.

I like how the spoiler is intergrated into the rear fenders on both cars. This one was actually completed 2 years before the XJ220 but who know what influences the original designers of both cars may have had. Interesting.

Thanks so much. I actually think this is one of my best pieces to date. Appreciate the watch!

Aww thanks. I also always enjoy watching that bit! haha.

This was a great video Spencer, I enjoyed the music and ASMR. I think that you’re on to something with this. The model is very nicely done as well! One of your better ones 👍

@@ScaleModelExperiment Thanks James, I am quite happy with this one myself! Appreciate the kind words!

It is a shame they are not included in this kit, like they are for many of the Tamiya kits but there are resources out there to add them also.

I absolutely love this kit. It is detailed, well thought out, well manufactured and it is a beautiful car in real life. I love this era of both models and concept cars in general. I do have another of this kit in my stash and really want to build it again especially after finishing the Jiotto Caspita recently as I find these cars to be similar is design and layout.

Wow, watching back and that autofocus is almost painful! haha. To be honest, I love this kit and I do have another one in my stash that I want to build again. This is really an amazing build and since this one was really early in my UA-cam journey, I don't feel I gave the kit the real justice it deserves!

😢

Thank you very much for saying!!

Thanks Karl, glad you could give it a watch! Appreciated.

Something about the white car with black trim just pulls me in as well. It is hard to be sure lines are true as any wavyness will stick out like a sore thumb with all that contrast but I do love the end results. Thanks for watching!!!!

Thanks man, it is appreciated. Enjoyed doing the livestream as well. Looks like next will be the Jiotto Caspita according to the community poll. Been looking forward to that one.

it is totally possible they are slightly tilted. Models sometimes don't go together quite as clean as we would like them to. haha.

Thanks for your comments! It is appreciated. Yes, I am a pretty big Datsun/Honda fan of the 70s 80s and 90s. You can see it with all the builds on the channel! haha.

I totally agree with you. I was really glad to see they were included with the kit even if they are not shown anywhere on the actual box. I love the 80s look of this one all around.

Thanks for saying Shawn. I am glad you enjoyed this one. The pens I used are just gel pens from Amazon. Gelly Roll is the brand that I picked up. Not sure if they are the same in the US as in Canada but I can't see them being much different. I use the gel pens for some details using the white, silver and gold pens. They go on well and dry pretty quick. I do also use Gundam pens for black and grey. You can see the black around the side marker, it is done with the Gundam pen. These are the fine tip pens and not just a standard Gundam marker as those ones have a wide tip to them more like a brush. Hope that helps!!

@ScaleAutoGarage thank you for the info Spencer I need to get me a set thanks 😊

No problem. I know starting out can be very intimidating and leave you just asking yourself where to even begin. Basic tools I have on hand are: Cutting blade (exacto knife) but you can use a scalpel or any other sharp blade that can be handled in one hand. Sprue cutters, similar to wire cutters but have one flat side so when you cut it leaves a sort of flat surface. Tweezers for handling the small parts. Various sandpapers to work the surfaces. For paint I would have used Tamiya acrylics. They are super easy to use and clean. I use an airbrush which can be a little more advanced and is a fairly big expense to start off with. Tamiya offer cans of hobby paint that are perfect for building model cars. I would have used mostly basic colors such as yellow, silver, black, semi-gloss black and clear red and orange. For more detail on how to do the actual work I would suggest checking out a channel like Scale Model Experiment that has plenty of in depth tutorials on how to do certain things from sanding and painting to decals to bare metal foil and so on. Building models can be very rewarding but like anything, it takes practice and repitition to get good at it! Good luck with your build!

​@@ScaleAutoGaragethank you so much bro! You really helped me a lot. You earned a subscriber Edit: ONE LAST QUESTION Do you think it would still look good without buying any paint other than black(excluding keisuke)? I just think that some of it is unnecessary and I only plan on maybe doing just this one so I feel like the paint would go to waste

@@b-barbosamarco829 this kit would not be bad if you didn’t paint the yellow. It can be built with just some black paint and doing some of the details but just know that the plastic body won’t look like a die cast version if it is not painted. The plastic does look pretty good and can even look better if you sanded it and glossed the bare plastic but straight from the box, it may not look quite just right. Either way, the point of the model is to have fun with it. Enjoy the process. If you just want to paint the black parts then you should just paint the black parts. It will look fine and you will have the pride of an accomplishment. Good luck with your build. Feel free to share photos when you are done on my FB page or on Instagram! Would love to see the finished piece.

@@ScaleAutoGarage thanks a lot you are a big help, I'll send you the finished product once I'm done!

Thanks Karl, appreciated. Thanks for watching.

I think the way the dash is done is one of the things I really didn't like with this kit. From my recollection, the top of the dash is part of the body but the front and bottom are different pieces. I ended up cutting off the dash from the body so I would build it separate and then assemble it all later. Worked out quite well I believe and in my opinion how the kit should have been done from the start.
