That is a beautiful build of a beautiful car!
Thank you
I've got this same model. I've started it but it's not finished yet. I just don't have the free time I used to.
That does happen. Good luck with the build.
As soon as I can I am getting this one so I can Make it like the one I saw at a car show it was a rare one it was Black all black the guy had it parked by an orange one he said he ordered it that way 🐎Mr. ED Says just have fun modeling
The GTO Judge I want to Build is a rare one I think the color for it is Black and I saw one at a car show once and it was all Black
Nice Very Nice Build 🐎Mr. ED Says just have fun modeling
Thanks
Great tips. Cheers.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Looks great!
Thanks
Buen trabajo,tremenda restauracion
Very impressive!
Thank you
Turned out awesome!
Thanks
Great looking car. Great looking build. That dash looks fantastic!
Thank you
Stunner of a build, I love the 458 and you did this one major justice. Hope to find this kit myself some day, although I need some major skill improvements first.
Thank you and good luck with your build, some day when you find the kit.
This is my next build. Watching you is inspiring. Your work is excellent.
Thank you. Good luck on your build.
Gold foil from the candy store works great on the landing legs
I am having difficulty with applying SuperPrimer. At first I was using a 0.4mm needle (Harder & Steenbeck Evolution double-action) with 20psi. I was getting a very rough, almost like sandpaper finish. I could even wipe some of it off with my finger. I tried increasing pressure to 30psi, then back to 25psi, then even down to 14psi. None of that seemed to help. In the research I did, I found they called it "dusting" and it is supposedly the de-atomization of the paint. Here, others suggested I move in closer. This did appear to help, but I still ended up with an orange peel finish. I also found in having to deliver enough paint to start flow, I sometimes applied too much to a spot or even ended up with spider webs. Also, the coverage was so narrow, I ended up with a very splotchy, uneven coverage. Next, I tried moving to a 0.6mm needle. This provided much broader coverage, so application seemed smoother, but the runs in spots became worse. The orange peel was still there and some slight dusting appeared. I am able to apply other paints and primers evenly. For example, I've used Mr. Hobby Surfacer with consistent results. I've also used both Vallejo, MIG, and AK primers with success. Obviously, I need to adjust my technique to use SuperPrimer successfully. At this point, I think I am changing too many variables, but I don't know what to try next.
I initially also had problems with the SuperPrimer dusting on me as well. I have found that I get considerably less dusting when I thin the primer with his thinner and use less pressure.
What kind of clear is this? It looks brilliant.
Thanks. That is a 2K clear coat.
Hi, great video, thank you. I have a question, I didn’t get it in the video… Agree with you that dremel is too fast for polishing… Could you tell what speed is good for polishing model cars?…. Thank you.
I don't have a speed but if I remember right, the Dremel type tools start spinning at 5000 RPM so anything less than that would be better.
Spoiler is on backwards.
Thanks. I always have to mess up something. That way I know it's one of my builds I guess.
Impressive when you're painting by hand 😱
Thank you
whew!!!
Хуета. Диски поменяй весь вид теряется из за них
Enjoyed watching this, appears to have worked very well! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it.
video's old ik but is this safe to do after putting on parts using tamiya cement without damaging parts? (i used the wrong paint thinking it was a primer ((used tamiya ps-1 white))
I have not had the alcohol damage any parts yet, but I always suggest testing unknown processes. Just put a few drops on a part and you will know right away if it is going to work or not as it should start reacting with the paint right away.
@@ScaledDownCustoms just going to save money by sanding off the excessive paint and priming it again
Awesome tip about the black marker on the blade.
I bought this kit. Several years ago. Ago already built. They done Thier own thing on it. Love it!
I think it looks great! But I know what you mean. I'm my worst worst critic.
Thanks
Those came out great
Thanks
i am here as i just tried to restore an old custom built kit from oh, 30 years ago. i have a new rotary tool, and a Dremel accesories kit , i used to use with my work drill. well, i put the buffing tool on and ouch, ,,huge scratch right in the center of the,wide , no pillars windshield. the kit is a late 1980s corvette mako shark, it has this huge windshield, so like a knuckle head i had to start there,,any hoo, i converted it to a rear engine , and also a side winder engine mounting., loads of custom made, and painting , plumbing, and massive engineering into this build, so i hope to learn how to restore all things before jumping into a royal mess, next time, thank you, cheers from italy, robert
Sounds like you have a lot of work into that one. Good luck and keep at it.
Nice job!! What brand paints are you using??
I'm using some left over Gravity Colors.
What paints do you use? Do they provide manufacturer based paints or do you need to mix for manufacturer specific colours?
This was a left-over Gravity Colors USA paint which is out of business now. There are a lot of really great paint manufacturers that have been coming onto the market lately and most are premixed colors and airbrush ready.
I was kinda wondering about the mirrors being so fragile and creating an obstruction into the tight spots around it. Would it be better to leave them till later, or is it better to have them on for a better final finish? Just thinking about the final finish and being able to sand without knocking the mirrors off. Still kinda new (new as in I don't have an air brush and I painted by hand previously. And also been about 20 years and getting back into the hobby and planning to spray rather than brush now)
Welcome back to the hobby. I have done the mirrors both ways. Glueing prior to paint will give a better bond but does present access problems for sanding and polishing.
Could always cut those seats out from the base and refit them later. A lot of effort to do it discretely/accurately without damaging the exposed floor, but might be worth the extra time?
Interesting idea. I will have to consider that in the future if I can't get to it with taping.
This was a fun build. One of my first few kits. Mine has suffered over the years and the paint is in bad shape. This video makes me want to build another. Great work so far.
Thank you
Very nice work. I did a Tamiya Enzo in the same color. I used the paint from Splash Paints. Apparently Ferrari built two in that color.
Interesting colour. I think it fits pretty good. I wasn't sure at the beginning. It is also one of my favourite Ferraris. Thank you very much and enjoy the build.
Glad you liked it.
Looks cool.
Thanks
How does this kit compare to the Tamiya version?
I haven't built the Tamiya version of this car but I think the Tamiya kits are outstanding.
@@ScaledDownCustoms They are. I was in Tokyo a month ago and visited the Tamiya store... Talk about being a kid in a candy store... 🥰😊

"fur"?
From one scale modeler to another, thank you for this video. I have been using Scale Finishes for several years now and it has been my go-to. I only ever used the Enamel paints and clears. I had a hard time with the Super Primer but now with your video explaining the best results you received, it’s achieving great results!No more Duplicolor primer in a rattle can @$10 a pop. I applaud how in-depth you were talking about each spoon and adjustments you made. With the clears you used, did you use any of Jameston’s hardener? I’ve only ever used his clear and enamels with the hardener and really enjoy the results. Minimal to no orange peel I have achieved.
What were the difficulties you were having with Superprimer? What did you change to solve it? I had bad dusting?
The only thing that seemed to help with the dusting for me was to thin the primer with his thinner.
Have had my car in for 2 days. Nothing. Waste of time and money.
Ya, it will not work on every paint and does not work on enamel paints. You will know within the first hour if it is going to work or not.
great tutorial.. thx 4 sharing... vinny
Glad you liked it.
Hi was wondering what paint brushes you are using for your detail work.Amazing work really enjoy the channel.
I just use a bunch of different types of brushes. I have not found a specific brand that I like yet. Still looking.
IPA definitely works to strip enamel spray bomb paint job. The newer the paint job the quicker it comes off
Amazing What kind of gloves are they
Nitrile
Looks like a good kit overall , odd that they have not made it in 1/24th to tie in with most other manufacturers
I didn't hear you mention doing a mock up of parts before any painting to make sure everything would fit and all 4 wheels would be on the ground. The paint job is awesome!! Did the heater hoses come with the kit? Would like to have seen more hoses and wiring. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos.
First time model builder and probably only time because I am honestly not a huge fan, I was expecting more of the Germany one pre colored (i would imagine it’s not painted)
Some models come molded in a color in case you do not want to paint them but otherwise you do need to paint them.
So nice to see I'm not the only one who has to shake their airbrush mid-session to sort of remix the paint. Great looking build and how special of you to give it back to your coworker, I bet they'll really enjoy it for years to come.
Thank you
While I see that you filled the pin ejector marks on the inside of the fenders you didn't seem to put bottoms on the electronic boxes mounted on top of the fenders. I would think that is a more glaring flaw in that portion.
