Thank you for the high praise. This is a great kit by Tamiya and I would recommend it to anyone, beginner or experienced. It just goes together so well.
Beautiful....you truly turned my head with the paint detail. I am currently working on this build. I suffer from lack of confidence in pre painting my parts, but you show that pre painted parts really stand out when you bring them together. I was leaning toward a read exterior, but now I'm not so sure because the blue is eye catching. Again top notch work..thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the kind words. It is appreciated. I find that painting your solid colors first and then adding detail colors as you go makes the assembly process a lot easier. If you paint all of it before even starting assembly then when it comes time to asseble, it can be done in a few hours pretty easily. I have been trying to stay away from red cars lately as it seems to me that red is used so often but some cars just deserve red. The miata does look amazing in red, no question there. Good luck with your build. I am sure as you do more work, the confidance will come with it. Take a look at some of my older videos. ho boy are they bad. haha.
Nice job. I have just bought this kit , I wanted a Lotus Elan kit but they don't seem to be available. The Mazda is nearly the same. Thanks for the video
I don't recall if I did on this one or not. I will give a quick sand between coats if I find debris or dust or anything in the paint after drying. I give a good inspection after primer, and another good inspection after the base color. If I find anything that needs to be taken care of, I will usually use a Tamiya 3000 grit sponge to flaten it out. If no debris then I don't give it a sand. Hope that helps.
This is a very good starter kit. It goes together very well, not too complicated, and ends up being a very nice model when finished. Painting the clear roof parts can be a PITA but you don't need to use the hard top or the closed soft top if you don't want to.
Glue is necessary for this kit but there are models that don’t require glue. Generally they will say snap-tight on the box somewhere to indicate they don’t need glue. For this kit I would have used model glue, specific for plastic, crazy glue for specific parts like metal or chrome and white glue for parts that are clear.
Thank you for giving this precious little guy life! I’m going to start working on mine soon and this was great inspiration❤
Glad it was helpful and inspirational! Good luck with your build.
What a great job!

Very nice build! I really like the interior.
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate the comment.

Glad you found it useful. Hope you enjoy your build!
Nice job. Do you light sand between mist, light and wet coats?
I don't recall if I did on this one or not. I will give a quick sand between coats if I find debris or dust or anything in the paint after drying. I give a good inspection after primer, and another good inspection after the base color.

4:44 what did you use for the carpet?
I use embosing powder for carpet but you can use flocking material as well.
@@ScaleAutoGarage thanks
is this a good starter kit?

Hi. Which kind of dust do you apply inside the car? Looks like Iron or carbón Dustin. Thank you. Good job
Comments reviewed and already answered. Thanks. I'm on it
Awesome, hope it is helpful. I use Embossing powder but there are many places you can buy flocking for carpets as well. Good luck with your building.
Do you need glue at all? Might be a silly question but i want to get started with this stuff. Thanks

It is a shame they are not included in this kit, like they are for many of the Tamiya kits but there are resources out there to add them also.
hi, where do you get the seat belt?
The seat belt material is ribbon I bought on Amazon and the photo etch buckles I got from model round up in the US.
@@ScaleAutoGarage thanks for the reply. This is an awesome build!
