    What glue did you use?

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  4 роки тому +1

      SZ, We use a variety adhesives depending upon the situation. You can use Testor's (orange) tube glue for most parts except the windows. There, Elmer's or a clear-parts cement should be used. In cases where you need instant adhesion, Superglue works best with an accelerator. If you don't need to adjust parts after gluing them together you can also use liquid cement. Hope that helps!

    These mid-sixties Chevrolet and GMC trucks have been a constant presence basically my whole life... My dad has several of them, including a '66 Suburban that I pretty much grew up in, traveling all over the country. While Christmas shopping this year, I saw the Revell '66 Suburban, and there was no question I was gonna spend the next several evenings building it, and painting it like my dad's, then giving it to him for Christmas. Oh, and the truck in my avatar photo is a '65 GMC that I bought In '94, used as a work truck for a couple of years before rebuilding it into a street rod.

    currently I am doing a '64 Impala for my dad for his birthday.(in stock though the paint directions are for the custom "lowrider" for some reason) I wanted to do this truck after. looks like the farming truck my grandpa had. wanted to paint it light blue with light blue interior. Also, I may(if I am patient) be able to put "Dwade's Dairy" in place of "John's Dairy" for personal sentiment. he wasn't one to put names on his truck but I'd be cool!

    Beautiful job! How long did you wait until you masked the white part of the roof? I don't want to damage the paint.

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  3 роки тому

      Bull, It depends on your paint type and environment. The short answer is wait till the paints dry. Tape off the inside to see if the paint comes up when you remove it or paint a spoon at the same time as you paint the model and use that to see if it's ready. I used automotive paint. It was dry in a half hour. I've seen enamels take 10 days. -Doug

      Cam - Use lots of warm water to position them then some setting solution to get them to conform to the contours. -Doug

    Nice paint...I like the color.
    do you wet sand your paint jobs with different grads of paper and then buff or is it just spray and clear coat

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  7 років тому +1

      Tim - For contest models a finish needs to be polished out, but for general display and reviews they are mostly just coated with a clear finish. This review used the clear coat from the Gravity Colors two-part system. Often we use automotive clear coats for their durability however.

      AJ, You can round off the edges of the inner wheel a bit with a sanding stick and put the tires in some hot water to "soften" them up just prior to installation! -Doug

    This looks incredibly hard to do. I don't have an entire paint workshop in my room, how do I make this thing?

    • @RightOnReplicas
      @RightOnReplicas  3 роки тому

      TI, If your talking about painting. Get a can of spray paint and give it three light coats of paint. Outside or in a garage, you can paint it in a cardboard box. Mount it on a coat hanger to turn it for coverage. PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug

    The proper color for a 1966 283 engine would be a grey/green! It wasn't till 1967 that trucks got the moly-orange color.
