That sounds really promising! I was preparing myself for a hustle, but it seems that my assumptions were wrong. 😀 Great! Thanks for that feedback!

Yes! I hope that it was worth it! :D

Oh yeah! It would be great to open the rear bonnet and make at least part of the engine visible 😀. Or... you could create a diorama with the car standing in the paddock and the engine next to it 😀. Did you order the detail-up set as well?

@@AdHocCars yes,when you can get one of the first from spotmodel,you need to buy the details up also is my opinion . I have build untill now only the Jeagermeister BMW from Nunu. And went very well together. Hope this Porsche will be the same

I hope so, as well :D Are you going to build it in "Pink Pig" livery? :)

@@AdHocCars Yes i think i will do that and for 90 % sure i will build another one in the Jeagermeister livery. I am a sucker for that livery,and it was my favourite drink untill 2008. Almost finished the Nissan R33 calsonic from Tamiya in Jeagermeister livery. I got now 7 Modelcars in that livery,that is the beauty of model kit building,make your own fantasy/what if livery. But i am a Jeagermeister livery fan.

Thanks a lot!! 💪 I didn't know that they can be compatible, for sure not plug'n'play, but I'm surprised that it is popular to convert kits into slot cars. Actually, I have some old Carrera Uni 132 slot cars like the Porsche 935 or BMW. 😀 They don't work for sure, but maybe one day I will do some video about renovating them. 😀 The slot car body seems to be more durable compared to plastic kits. Is it then easier to brake during racing?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! :D Agree, many times the pictures on the boxes are not accurate when compared to either the real car or even the kit inside. I really like this 959 as it brought me quite a lot of fun to build it. There were no issues with the assembly and everything fits perfectly. Have you seen the latest news that Tamiya is going to release a brand new kit of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS? There are rumors that it will be available this year!

Thanks!! I hope It's gonna be a great looking model kit! 😀

Thank you for your kind words! The Fujimi kits definitely have their quirks, but they really do bring out the beauty of classic cars like the 917! I wonder whether new Fujimi kits are equally challenging... Have you had a chance to build some new ones? :)

Hi John, sure! I'm happy to answer. :) When it comes to acrylic paints, I cover them with a clear coat only when applied to the car body. If I paint other parts with them, I don't take this additional step. I've read some tips that it's always better to cover them with a clear coat as it protects the paint better from dust or fading, but I don't find it a must-have since I don't build roadsters that dust can easily lie on the seats. Also, I don't find it necessary to cover the chassis parts with a clear coat. When it comes to the car body, I always apply a clear coat. That clear coat fills the uneven surface of the base color, and with polishing afterward, you can achieve a really nice glossy finish. 😀 Actually, I haven't heard of the approach of not covering the base color with the clear coat (regardless of the type of base color), but it might be that I'm missing some knowledge as well. :)

Odpalilem niepublikowane fragmenty na których widać moją nierówną walkę z tymi lampami. Mozesz sprobowac na dwa sposoby, albo pomalowac ten pierscien z zewnątrz albo od wewnatrz. Wybralem malowanie od wewnatrz gdy poległem przy pierwszej opcji. Przy malowaniu od wewnatrz wystarczy ze w miare dokladnie zamaskujesz samą płaszczyzne reflektora od srodka oraz dodatkowo jego niemalowana krawdz np. za pomoca pattafixu, ktorego zwałkujesz i rozlozysz po krzywiznie lub najpierw przykleisz fragment tasmy, ktory potem natniesz po krawedziach nozykiem tak jak przy maskowaniu szyb. Nadlewki mozesz wyprostowac potem zmywaczem do akryli. Oczywiscie lampe wtedy nalezy zamaskowac od zewnatrz tez, ale to juz jest o wiele latwiejsze :)

@Chris_Kokkalis Thanks a lot, Chris! I'm really glad that you found this video helpful! 😀 Frankly speaking, I'm permanently astonished at how nice this color is every time I pass this GT3. 😀 What color did you choose for your project? What are you going to build next? 😀

@@AdHocCars Its fair to like this car! I personally chose to paint it with the "speed yellow" which i think is the most popular, since it is the one on the cover of the box(its pretty decent). However if i had seen your video before i had started that project, i would have painted it at this beautiful color in which you painted yours for sure (or something similar). By the way i painted the body with a spray can (two layers of gray primer and one layer of the paint) and i think that this was not supposed to be a thing😅. But that doesnt mean that im not serious about the project overally, i always try to give as much attention to the details as possible, its just that i dont have money to buy the equipment you have to paint it nice and smoothly. My next project will probably be a papercraft model (you know, using templates). I know it may sound kind of ridiculous but thats what i do when i dont have any saved money left for such kits, i still go to high school😂. So anyway im planning to buy a cerrera gt for Christmas i think its from revel. I will keep you updated if you want.😁 (P.s. sorry for yapping so much, its just that i love this hobby a lot its a passion for me and its one of the only things that make me escape reality.)

The carrera gt is from tamiya by the way, my bad. Its actually really nice since you can build the whole engine, i think.

Hi Chris! Actually, it's weird. When we're young, we don't have enough money to spend on our hobbies, but we do have enough time that we could spend on them. Then, when we're adults, we have money, but we don't have so much spare time. 😂 There's something wrong with this world order for sure! I really like your plan! Christmas is a perfect time to buy yourself a present or... to ask Santa for it! 😀 I agree, tools can help with achieving better results, and some tasks will be easier for sure, but you can still have fun with paint cans and experiment with them. And this is what a hobby should be for: to have fun! :) Keep your projects and go back to them once you save money for an airbrush! I was told at a hobby shop that I should start with an airbrush as it's much cheaper in terms of the cost of paint. So the entry point is expensive, but it pays back with cheaper paint, as a small jar of Tamiya paint is a lot cheaper than a Tamiya can. :) And I follow this advice. 😀 it all depends how long would you like to have fun with scale modeling 😀

It's a cool car! I have seen a couple of projects, but I didn't know that it has an entire engine to build! Will it disappear under the car body, or is it nicely visible?

@danielferreira8647 thanks a lot! I think I've made some progress since building this kit, and I would have done it better if I had known what I know now 😀

💪😀

@@wojtasik7702 dysza 0.3, ciśnienie w okolicach 1 bara :)

thanks a lot! 😀

Wiem że dekantacja ale nie potrafię sobie tego wyobrazić

Wbrew pozorom to bylo calkiem latwe :) 1. Wzialem mały słoik i zamiast wieczka uzylem folii spozywczej. 2. Znalazlem WD40 z ktorego wzialem dysze i rurke. 3 Przełożyłem je na puszke z czerwona farbą. 4. przebilem folie aby rurka weszla w sloik. 5. Psikalem farbą w sloik do zera. 6. Nastepnie zostawilem na kilka godzin aby farba odgazowala! (ten krok jest szalenie istotny bo jesli zamkniesz sloik tuż po wlaniu tam farby z puszki, calosc moze wybuchnac! 7. Delikatnie włozylem drewniany patyczek do swiezo zlanej farby (ostroznie! bedzie bulgotac) 8.Po kilku godzinach jak zamieszasz nim bedzie mniej buzowac. 9. Zakrec sloik gdy mieszajac farbe w ogole nie bedzie buzowac. Zazwyczaj jest to kilka godzin, wydaje mi sie,ze po 12h zamknalem, ale nie pamietam. Potem wlewasz do aerografu rozcienczasz wedle uznania i cieszysz sie z unikalnego koloru :)

thank you! this project is quite unusual 😀

Thank you ! I am really happy that you find my content valuable. I wanted to make this Supra look good with less masking compared to the Porsche 911 GT3R Hybrid. Initially, I thought about making a carbon hood and roof, but I finally went for simplicity, and it did the job! Good luck with your project and I hope you will enjoy working on this kit! let me know either via email or here about your progress :)

@@big_handle that's interesting! SF71h it is written down below on the standing base of this f1 car 😋 what makes you think that it is not the one which Ferrari museum states?🤔

@@AdHocCars oh shit its one of the special liveries

Thank you! 959s are indeed great cars! 😃I had a chance to sit in one that took part in the Pharaohs Rally in the 80s. You could really feel the amazing spirit of this great car. What I really like about this kit is the color and seat paint work. I was actually advised to go with purple via one of the polls I ran. I had some nice talks with a couple of people when I mentioned that I was building a 959. There is a magic about these models! The engine and engineering were incredible and far beyond their time. Thanks a lot for the positive feedback about my work. I hope you will find my other projects entertaining as well! 😀 By the way, have you seen the Porsche 911 GT3R hybrid one?

Thanks for such positive feedback! I'm really happy that you find this color great! Agreed, I'm not a big fan of the yellow color on Porsche cars. I wanted it to be close to this cherry red, and I think it's even better. :) This 911 GT3 has the privilege of being displayed in the living room as the only one! :)

@@AdHocCars nice!👍🏻

I used to glue windows with Micro Kristal Klear and got really nice results, as you have enough time to position the window and wipe off the excess glue with water. Then I switched to CA glue and accidentally spilled it on the window. It didn't frost it, but the only way I could fix it was to sand it down. I used BSI Super Gold Plus, which is odorless and foam-safe. It is really great, but due to the nature of CA glue, I will probably stick to Micro Kristal Klear😀

@@AdHocCars I bought this same exact Oldsmobile kit. It will be my first. I remember trying to build a model car as a kid and my windows got frost on them from the super glue.

Perfect choice! You will have fun working on it. 😀 With BSI, you won't have the frosting issue, but you need to apply it carefully so as not to spill it over. What color did you choose for the car body? 😄

@@AdHocCars i dont have an airbrush kit so im going to paint it with a rattlecan. duplicolor metallic grey.

Sounds like a plan! 🤞 Fingers crossed for using Duplicolor! I haven't used it yet, but I've heard different opinions, from some saying it's "hot" and it disolves everything it touches to others saying it's a perfect solution for painting. Let me know which team you're on after applying it. 😀 Don't rush yourself to make everything perfect. Remember, it's supposed to be fun and entertaining, not a hassle. 😀

I leave the decal to soak until I see it starting to come away from the backing paper. This can take about 10 to 40 seconds but it all depends on the decal's size and shape :)

Sure! It's 9.9 cm 😀

@@AdHocCars thanks!!

@@user-ov8lb7ed5r you're welcome! :)

It was a great kit to work on! I didn't encounter any significant issues with the fit :) I definitely recommend buying it and building it the way you prefer 😀 Which Ford GT did you build? The one from the '70s or the new version?

@@AdHocCars thank you！My Ford GT’s version is 2017.

That's interesting. This kit is from 2018, and since it is quite new, I wouldn't expect so many issues with it. My Porsche 911 G-Modell kit had a bent car body, and it was impossible to build, so I claimed a new one under warranty. In two weeks, I had a new one. You can check out the video of the gray Porsche 911 G-Modell :) ua-cam.com/video/2Ot5yBtcoGQ/v-deo.html

Thanks a lot! 😀

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the blend of Japanese heritage with the Castrol livery. It was a fun project, and I'm especially pleased with how the weathered tires and exhaust pipes turned out. The black in the body lines was definitely worth applying. I thought about using grey in the body lines as I was afraid that black would be too eye-catching, but it turned out pretty nice. Next, I'm planning to work on a Revell Porsche 356 model kit with some LEDs! I will put my effort into the electrical area, then focus on the livery. I hope it will be fun to watch as well! Have you seen my other projects? Which one do you find the most interesting to watch? 😀

@@AdHocCars well i will be waiting for that one for sure ! it’s awsome watching you build these cars with such great skills and dedication. thank you chris Klatter

Thanks, Chris, for such kind words! Now I feel even more motivated to start the project! :D

@@AdHocCars have you ever thought of doing a F1 race car? like a 1988-90 mclaren mp4 that Ayrton Senna drove with the Marlboro Livery ? that would be so cool. anyway just thought i’d ask have a great day chris klatter

Hi Chris!Frankly speaking, some time ago I considered buying an RC F1 car from Tamiya to see how they drive. Also, one of my friends asked me to build him an F1 model car. At that time, I couldn't find any in stock at a reasonable price. After your question, I started looking again, and there aren't many to choose from. Most of them are discontinued, out of stock, or just a bit too expensive. So, I would like to buy and build an F1 car, but I will monitor the market to find one to build.Thanks for asking and reminding me about F1 model kits! Have a great day! 😀

Dzięki! Inny niż pozostałe Toyoty Supry i inny niż na pudelku 😀

Thanks a lot! I am pretty happy with the overall result. There are some issues here and there, like minor decals, but I'm quite happy with how the rims and the exhaust turned out. As someone told me, we are always our own worst critics 🙃

@@AdHocCars it's okay and totally understandable to be frustrated with those issues. You recovered well like I said where you were able to and made the best of it I think; you finished and it's a nice model as you correctly point out. I know it's not exactly what you hoped for, I think we all shoot for perfection, so I completely get it. But it's still a great addition to your superb collection of hard work.

Thanks a lot for your supportive feedback!🙃

Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one who experienced this. 🙃 Actually, I didn't have any other idea on how to fill those gaps that were initially planned for air vents. I took a PLA sheet, measured, and cut off two pieces, then tried to fit them. The thing I would change, probably, would be the putty. Next time, I would go for epoxy since the regular one shrinks a lot! I needed to apply it a couple of times to get the correct smoothness, and even after many layers, it's not perfect, so you can still see the edges... but lesson learned. 😀 I have a lot of issues with dust in the spray booth! I tried spraying the interior with water, then moistening paper towels, and vacuuming the filter... it's actually impossible to get rid of it. 🫣 I've seen some spray booths with a water cascade. Maybe that would do the job, but... they're a bit expensive. 😀

ありがとう！トムのカストロールのリバリーにすると、さらに多くのデカールがありますよ！😂

Thanks a lot! I am glad you like it! 😀

You know that I’m waiting for build of Porsche 356

@@jakubmaecki1340 now it's time to start preparation :D

This is very good. I like seeing how you fixed your mistakes. Thanks

@@jimmiecrockett1769 thanks a lot! I tried to fix it but eventually accepted how it looks. I think my attempts could be helpful for others who also experienced this kind of challenge:D

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my content and for leaving such a detailed and thoughtful comment! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video, especially the build-up of the 442. Your kind words about my painting process and the information on mixing and products used mean a lot to me. I admire your extensive knowledge of muscle cars. I've been passionate about this hobby for almost three years now, and I can see there are plenty of areas where I can still improve. Learning from experienced modelers like you is incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to continue growing my skills. What advice or ideas would you like to share with a novice like me? Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, I'm curious about your perspective: what do you consider to be modern-day kit muscle cars?Thank you again for your support and for sharing your wisdom. I look forward to hearing more from you and to exploring more American muscle car kits in the future! Greetings from Europe! It’s wonderful how the world has become smaller, making it easier for people from different parts of the globe to connect with each other. 😊

I appreciate your support and enthusiasm! It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the video and want to see more content like it. I will definitely consider doing more American muscle car kits in the future. Which one should I start with? :)

@@AdHocCars of I were to give one car, it would probably be the 1969 Dodge Charger made by Revell. It's one of the iconic muscle cars of that era. For a more challenging build, I would recommend the MPC 1967 Pontiac GTO. Where it is an iconic car, this kit is plagued with fitment issues. I personally think you could make this ill fitting kit into a beautiful build, I feel it would be more important to the hobby for others to see that even the not so good kits can be made beautifully with some patience.

That's a great idea! Actually, I almost bought this kit because it was at a good price at the local shop, but at that moment, I remembered my unstarted projects and decided to come back to it once I finish them. Thanks a lot!

@@AdHocCars I know exactly how that is, I too have several kits just "in process" hanging around the workbench or in the hobby room stash somewhere. I sent an email showing the 67 GTO kit I built.

It is easier to spot scratches on gray primer, so I put the gray one first and then the white one to provide a nice base for red. 😀 You can use white primer first without gray; it is not mandatory to follow two primers. 😀

albo fejm 😀

This supercharger is absolutely great!

Thanks!! 😀
