- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Today on the WorkBench, I am working on the 2001 edition of the 1970 Ford Torino Cobra by Revell. This kit went together pretty much flawlessly with the exception of the decals. They on the other hand, well, let’s just say that they didn’t survive the test of time.
This is a beautiful rendition of the Torino Cobra and I highly recommend building one if you have the means to do so.
I hope that you enjoyed watching this video as much as I did building the kit.

Love me a Ford! Awesome build and thanks for sharing! 👊
Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I have quite a few Fords in the stash, and they'll be coming soon. I'm working on one right now, and it will be coming in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for watching!
Another great build! As always!
Thank You! I do my best....
I learned a good trick from you on taping the glass in to hold it still while the modge podge set up.. I will do that on the one I'm working on now. Thanks for posting. It's a good looking car. I will watch all of your videos.
Thank You! I am glad that I could pass on a little trick to help someone out. Thanks for Watching!
Nice build! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! and thanks for watching!
Eeally cool looking ride. Just wish they'd make a dedicated NASCAR version.
Thank You! A NASCAR version would be really cool! I wouldn't think that it would be horribly difficult to convert one of these into one though.
Dang that turned out amazing brother ❤
Thank You!
Very nicely done, brother. I have a friend that has 2 of these cars, one looks just like the box art. The other is a super rare Richard Petty edition.🤓👍
Thank you! Sounds like your friend has a pretty cool collection!
You did an amazing job on the torino
Thank You!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench I have a quick question if you can please assist me with
@@codyrhea1042 Sure, ask away...
@@scaleautoguysworkbench the wild hoss bronco I am wondering what the purpose is for the radiator hose on the engine the position its in just seems weird to me so far its been a fun experience but the motor goes together weird
@@codyrhea1042 Are you referring to part number 80 in step 1 of the direction sheet? They show that in this section I guess so that you are aware that there is an upper radiator hose that is supplied for the engine. This hose and the air cleaner assembly doesn't go on the engine until you get to step 10. It is a little bit abnormal in construction compared to what you would normally find in an average kit. Usually the engine and the transmission are one piece ( in two halves ). It's just a different way to reach the same goal, I guess.
Very cool, I just picked this kit up recently. Its good to see how it goes together
Thank you! I had heard that they had reissued this kit. By all accounts, it is the exact kit with an upgraded decal sheet and box art. Good luck with your build!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench The new decal sheet looks amazing.
I have seen the new decal sheet and you are 100% correct!
Love how this turned out! I know what you mean about the decals. I’m currently building the Revell 60 Impala kit from 1998. I tried to use the seat decals & they just came apart as soon as I tried to use them. Makes you wonder at what point decals start to degrade. 10 yr mark ? I’m sure it depends on how the model has been stored in the past with previous owners.
Thank You! I bought this kit from Ebay around ten years ago or so. I have no idea how it was treated prior to arriving at my house but it has been kept in a dark closet and no warmer than 75 degrees since then. It's just age and the fact that decals from yesteryear aren't as good as the upgraded decals of today. For instance, decals from back then would have to soak in warm water for an extended period of time. Compare that to today's decals which are ready to be applied within a few seconds after being submerged. Sometimes progress can be a good thing.
HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: I had this oversized box model in my stash many years ago sealed, never seen the contents, thanks for the review. Looks like a nicely detailed kit. A fellow piss-canner we're rare and precious lol. A brush painter too! Now if you bust out some tube glue, am gonna cry 😭 LOL, THERE'S the GLUE, that's classic. I got those pink clamps too, you sure this ain't MY MAN-CAVE Your in? Shhhh, I thought I heard something the the basement??? I heard somewhere put a coat of clear over the decals then cut them out as close to the decals as possible. Also looking for Shop-Cards, you happen to have them? Let me know. This build turned out very nice, I sense a LIKE coming. Watch You Later, (MODEL CAR😎MAN CAVE)
MAybe the thing you heard in your basement was the oversized box calling out to you to get building... I never thought about putting clear coat over the decals, I may have to try that someday. If you would like a shop card you can contact me a few different ways. You can private message me through Facebook messenger @scaleautoguy or you can contact me through email scaleautoguy@gmail.com with your address and I will send a shop card to you. If you don't let me know where to send one, well... I can't send one... I am glad that you enjoyed this video. From one piss-canner to another, thanks for watching!
@@scaleautoguysworkbenchHEY-DAR 👊😎👍: I've never been on Facebook, I've only sent 1 email in 10 years Just call this MANCAVE a CAVEMAN Lol. I don't like emails I've had to many issues in the past. I hope this will be ok: Geno 6539 n. 87th st. Milwaukee, WI. 53224 let me know when you jot it down and I'll delete this comment. thanks, Watch You Later, (MODEL CAR)🎭(MAN CAVE)
I would love to find that kit I am currently working on a 78 bronco and I laid down some primer and I painted her purple shimmer 😊
There's a guy selling one on Ebay right now about $61 after shipping. If that's a little out of your price rand Revell has recently re-issued this kit and you can get one for around $30 or so. Based on the little bit of research that I conducted this is the same exact kit with an upgraded decal sheet. So, it is available, just in a different looking box. If that Bronco is the "Wild Hoss" version it goes together really nice.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench Yes sir it is and yeah I love the way its going together
@@codyrhea1042 The only thing I didn't like about that kit was the front suspension. It has those thin torsion/sway bars and the directions aren't very clear on where they attach. Other then that it's a great kit, way better than the GMC Jimmy kit that I did a while back,
@@scaleautoguysworkbench to me model building is the best way to spend time it's kinda expensive sometimes but it sure is worth it and I love building fords if you could if you want please send me some tips on building I used to build all the time with my grandfather but he passed away I am always looking for pointers
Can you coat the decals with a clear spray to help them stay together?
I have this kit and a newer Blue one.
I have been told that coating them is possible. I haven't tried that yet and am not sure which clear to use if I did. Other than the decals this went together without a hitch! Good Luck with your builds. Thanks for watching!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench, Ok, If you do try some please put it in another video or reply back here and let us know if it does work or not, thanks!
