from watching your video i think i will jump in a build one dont know if i will get the Areosedan or just the plain tudor sedan was thinking the street rod version with a gun metal lower section and a maroon upper section , if i was going to build it like we did a 1 to 1 scale one id use the 235 cu.in. 6 instead if the 216 cu. in. because of the oiling systen in it , very nice build and it turned out very cool
Go for it once you get started you will get hooked and you will need to build a shelf to show case the model's you built you will get better at it. I use CA glue better know as super glue for a quick stick you can use model glue on other parts that are not so frustrating to hold to gether. For the seats you can even cut material and glue on the seats to make it more real looking instead of paint I have seen some awesome model's that kids have competed ageast each other on build offs they would buy the same model and see who can build the better version of it they would add there own pieces from other model kits or make there own pieces to the model.
I remember this kit coming out around 1991 and I first saw it at a model kit contest. Never owned one, but I can bring it in to my hobby shop from my wholesaler. Nice to see your review for the kits I don't own yet. My turn to come see you for a review! :D
@@RightOnReplicas I should ask you if I can add your videos into my video play lists on my channel. Then that way we could combine forces and cover every model kit ever made! have one big "Omega" review play list.
@@RightOnReplicas It's a play list, so it would go my video, then your video, then mine...something like that. So they would be watching your video. I guess it's the equivalent of shuffling cards in a deck. - so they are watching the original source video, not a copy of yours pretending to be mine, if that makes sense.
Great work bro'!!! A little pricey for me at this time but, in the future I'll pick up a couple of these... I love old cars especially, 50's and 60's cars...
Robert, You can find them at online retailers like Model Roundup www.modelroundup.com/1947-Chevy-Fleetmaster-Aerosedan-p/galaxie-13012.htm and eBay etc. -Doug
I have one that I started building a few years ago. Had to stop because I wanted dual exhaust, and haven't been able to find pipes for it. The kit is great, need to find the coupe now.
DW, Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it the way you want it. You might have to scrounge a couple mufflers from the parts box or make a resin/epoxy copy from the original. Use Silly putty or Play-Doh to make a mold and freeze it to keep the shape before you pour! -Doug
I usually sand or with my exacto knife cut slices before glue it helps the parts stick better the glue will last stuck together for year's I have over 30 year old model's still stuck together. I put together a 1950 Chevy fast back that looks like the fleet line. I got a 1951 fast back still in the box and some 1930s car model's.
While your sanding get rid of the trunk emblem that says Chevrolet .The right emblem says Fleetline on all year models from 46 48. Galaxy is usually spot on with details.
@@RightOnReplicasThis model will be Next on my list.🙂👍 l Just ordered 4 random kits to build cuz I DO NOT want to open up any of my unbuilt kits I bought 30+ years ago. Some of them are Johan kits . I'd love to start building them, but they are worth a lot. I hate to look at it this way. Just build the damn things, right ? Someone needs to locate who has the JoHan tooling and start making them again.I think they'd sell like hotcakes. Anyway Doug, Got a question for you. I always thought that if you use acrylics like Tamiya ,you cannot use the polishing kit with all the grades of sandpaper to make the finish show quality / like glass. I figured I would have to settle for a acrylic clear coat. I have this idea that acrylic is too soft to rub out and polish BUT , I am only guessing. You are the expert. On another note,I am 70% finished with AMT's 1970 ProStock Nova. I am doing a Grumpy's Toy replica. As you know,this is a white car,black vinyl top. I am not sure what to do next? The body paint is finished.Been gassing our for over 3 weeks. Do I lay the decals and clearcoat it before I mask out the car and paint the flat black vinyl top. OR paint the vinyl top first ,mask it and then do the decals and clearcoat ? My comment is long, sorry. I will make a point to keep it short n to the point. Thanks,Howard
HH, Acrylics are "softer" as you've mentioned. They can be polished out but you have to apply 4-6 light layers to get the thickness needed. Lacquers are more durable but I actually prefer 2-part automotive urethane for clear coats. I would spray the body with clear after decals because you then only have to mask the body and spray the vinyl roof. PS - please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I have a few model's I haven't put to gether yet and they are not cheap to buy either. I have made my own out of steel I draw it out on sheet metal cut the parts out with sheet metal cutters bend the metal to get the shape of how I want the parts. Then weld them together. For me trying to glue plastic together it's hard for me to get the model glue to stick I use super glue for quick stick
Right On Replicas Have you ever used real wood on a Woody model? I did on a 40 Ford Woody. Cut out all the panels and left the plastic frames. Turned out real cool. From the looks of this one,you'd just have to shape the wood panels, without having to do any cutting.

Those dash gauges look fantastic!

@@RightOnReplicas No problem. Even though we can paint them on, the decal number looks like a 1940's number should look.

DW, Make your own pipes out of solder. Look for the same diameter and just bend it the way you want then paint them steel color! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas that's what I started out, to do, but I guess my fabricating skills leave a bit to be desired. But, will keep trying.
