Thanks a lot! I couldn't decide on the right color; I contemplated making it green, but in the end, I opted for dark copper, and it turned out to be a great choice!
Thanks!! it is a really nice modelkit to work on :) I plan to release next weeks, three longer movies from this full build, part one will cover car bodywork preparation, part two will cover parts and part 3 will cover assembly. I hope they will be helpful for everyone who is going to build this kit 😀fingers crossed for your work! :)
Excellent build of this great kit! First of your video's I've seen, but not the last! I hope you will do more of the new kits of American muscle cars. Would like to see your vision of how these kits can be brought to life.
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.
I'm not sure how I have not found you yet. But - Subd. Great channel and content. The old's turned out Stunning. I really liked that you use Panel Liner on the seams etc. I think so many people could take there model to another level if they used it. I love that stuff LOL
Thanks for feedback and finding my content valueable! Olds is a really nice kit, everything fit so great! Actually using panel liner on the seams is so easy to use and gives a really cool effect, it's perfect for people who are afraid of weathering like me :D
@@AdHocCars I got lucky with the paint, the chips weren't big so I brushed a little more of the base coat on and polished it. The hardest part was convincing myself that it would still look good on the shelf.
I'm glad things worked out for you! 😁I totally get what you mean. Whenever I paint something, I always check back a few days later to make sure it still looks good.🙃
@@AdHocCars there are so many things that can go wrong with the clear! Bugs or dirt, some kinds you can put like a plastic tote over them, but others will have a bad reaction to that. Or worse if your like me and want to touch it too soon lol
Watched! And I didn't fall asleep 😉. Fine color combination, quite nice detail for out of the box model. American cars are not my favorite ones, but this one looks really good! I have to test your method and thin GX clear in such a big ratio (4to1, 6to1). Last time I tested rather 1:1,7 ratio (1 paint, around 1,7 Leveling Th) but with higher pressure to push that thick paint through the 0,4mm nozzle.
Actually I am into Porsches, but I have to say that this kit brought a lot of joy while working on it. I didn't know much about american cars (still don't know much :D ) but I know more about Olds for sure as I read couple of facts about this car prior video preparation :D . I am using Aircobra with 0.3 nozzle, the smallest or medium spot size and ratio 1 to 4 and 1 to 6 (paint : thinner). I haven't mentioned that it is quite easy to overspray doing that this way so you shouldn't rush, as if there is too much paint you can see all the paint running to one place making a thick layer. which you would need to sand later on... and that cost time... time that you could spent on more fun things :D I airbrush at 15 PSI (1 bar) sometimes lower :)
@@AdHocCars I know that it is easy to overspray and run paint with 1 to 4 or 6 ratio. It is easy even for 1 to 3 ratio. One false move of hand forward and... 😁💩.
I've assembled that kit. I was disappointed at how far off the wheels sit in the wells. They aren't centered and i was too far into the build to adjust . Nice kit otherwise.
I have just checked it and had a look myself. You are right! The rear axle seems to be way too far, therefore the wheels are not centered! I hadn't noticed that before! Thanks for pointing that out. Now every time when I look at this kit I will see this issue!🤣
Thx for answering my prior question but I have another. My kit didn't come with attachments or axles for the wheels. Thats ridiculous for one and two, what did you use??
You're welcome! I think you should try contacting Revell via their warranty request portal at www.revell-service.de/en/revell-warranty-request/. I did it twice, initially when the kit was missing the fuel cap for the Porsche 918, and the second time when the car bodywork was bent for the Porsche 911. Every time, Revell sent the missing parts back, usually within 2 weeks (in EU) :)
@@AdHocCars Quite frustrating eh? I wonder if they have different variations of production. Otherwise, I can't imagine why parts are missing. I will call them like you say, good to know. I've decided to use the metal from pins because its the right size.
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? 😄
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. 😀
Nice !!! You always do amazing work..👍
thanks!! I hope you will like also my next projects! 😀
VERY NICELY DONE, YOUR CAR TURNED OUT AMAZING!!!😎👍👍👍
