I save a bunch of money on my models by using sharpie pens, 10 bucks for almost every color. Black trim on windows and colors for signals/tail lights. Spend the extra $3 for a silver pen and you can do chrome trim as well. Saves alot of time from masking and painting 😊
Had a 26hr layover and got carried away catching up on every single vlog/video. 68 videos down🤣 I’ve got nothing but respect for you guys and the memories you make. Keep it up, I look forward to further videos and definitely a channel I’ve got notifications on for. Going to up my quality after seeing how amazing this channel’s quality is. Cheers🙏
6:09 mansplainer here. Okay so that is the Nissan mid-4 (second generation). It was Nissans experimental supercar/sports car to compete against the porches and Ferraris at the time. V6 mid engine twin turbo AWD. Eventually it became too expensive to produce so it was never brought to market. Honda kinda stole a lot from this car. The front half is basically all NSX and it's also why the NSX interior looks the way it does. The awd system was repurposed in the R32/R33/R34 GTRs. The twin turbo V6 engine was repurposed in the Z32 along with the interior components (it's why the inside of a Z32 and NSX look similar). Lastly the tail lights look like they made their way to the S14. Really cool piece of history Japanese history. You could say that car was the father of 90s cars.
Youll thank yourself later the more paints & supplies you have! The 73 Skyline LB works kit is awesome, building one right now. Love adding the small details. Great Celica find, what a clean example. Dylans vision I'm sure, will be timeless!
10/10 on the video but also, 10/10 on that model at the end. I've had one sitting in my room for almost 2 years that I haven't built and this inspired me to start it and buy another one lol!
I still used PS Tamiya paint on my model cars, meant for R/C's but it won't stick to model kits unless you primer it enough. Gotta clear coat over it a shit ton too, tends to flake off.
82/83 celica supra, awesome sweet cars, had 2x 84's ( one with a 7mgte ;) ) and had an 85 celica w/ built 22re - same chassis from firewall back I much prefer these over a newer fr-s/ 86. the seats were designed by recaro, although not labelled as such
@@CheckpointJapan Do you know of any like that in wisconsin area? Asking because I love those Tamiya and Aoshima model kits but all I can find are the Revell kits etc which I do not like at all haha
Hey not sure if you’ll see this but do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it? I’ve been wanting to get one for a while but everyone selling them nowadays acts like their sitting on diamonds, just curious what you paid at the time
P types have alway been my fav out the sups. 2jz swap even na would be sweet. But I could see a 3rotor na all day in it … maybe cause I’m a fc rotary 🖤’er myself . Them budgets though 😆. 🦾👊🏼🍻💯

I'm almost done on my 83 mk2 rn same red paint but I have the digital dash the mk2s honestly need more love
Take care of it! they are getting very hard to come by
That's a pretty great sounding 5M. You know what the exhaust setup is? My X7 really needs some exhaust reworking.
Haven’t had a chance to dig into it yet! Thinking it’s probably stock with a cat delete.
@@CheckpointJapan I've had my X7 for years, and I still haven't yanked the cat 😬
Hey, this was good. Thanks for making it good. Good job! (I need to work on my R32 GTR model smh im lazy)
Please use an air brush or spray can warmed up in hot water for paint 😁
Alex used the spray can & hot water method! The final product is at the end of the video
'83 supras are sweet, careful with those door handles, they can be fragile
この車は、もう日本でもあまり見ないね。とても貴重です。
The MKII is a dream car for me, but with prices shooting up I'm increasingly thinking I won't have time to get one before it's unreasonable :(
Dylan thought the same thing but managed to make it work! Chase your dream, we believe in you!! 💖
N-joy beats has the coolest z32
What camera did you use for this video ? because the quality is amazing
dope vid! the cheapest mk2 for sale online is 15k for me :(
why are those models so expensive btw! are they typically that price?
That's in CAD so like 30% more expensive than USD
What model shop is this! Would love to go there sometime!
South Vancouver has a TON of awesome model/hobby shops!!
magic box hobbies
@@CheckpointJapan Do you know of any like that in wisconsin area? Asking because I love those Tamiya and Aoshima model kits but all I can find are the Revell kits etc which I do not like at all haha
My dad had a Mk2, and I dream of getting a Mk3.
What's the name of the model shop?
Does that model shop have a website?
Unfortunately not, they’re really small scale and old school
YUP
Hey not sure if you’ll see this but do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it? I’ve been wanting to get one for a while but everyone selling them nowadays acts like their sitting on diamonds, just curious what you paid at the time
It was just above 6k if i remember correctly!
What's the model shop called?
