The Green Hornet Black Beauty by Polar Lights - Episode 42

- Today on the WorkBench,
I am fresh out of the hospital (10 days ago) from some pretty major surgery. I was bored to tears from sitting around doing nothing, so I decided to build something light, quick and fun. I had picked this up in the clearance aisle at my local Walmart a few weeks ago and it was featured in my Walmart haul video ( • My haul from the Walma... ). Coming in at just 33 parts I figured that it wouldn’t be too strenuous on my body to throw it together and help beat back some of this boredom.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy watching this video as much as I did building the kit.

*NOTE*
To the one person that goes out of their way to give my videos a thumbs down, firstly, I want to say that this is my channel. I will post what I want to post here as long as it is within UA-cam guidelines. Whether that be a car, truck, aircraft or train. If I like it, I will post it. If you don't like what I post, why not Unsubscribe from my channel and find somewhere else to hide in. Thank You!
Dear Sir, Thank You! For your video as well as your build. PERFECT! At 64 yrs young I remember when this plastic model kit first came out in 1966 by the Aurora Plastics company. A tie-in with the Green Hornet Tv Show 1966-1967 on ABC Tv. Now, Polar Lights has made "New" steel molds from orig. kit. Polar Lights has re-issued is kit many times over in a long box and now a smaller box. If only their had been figures of the Green Hornet and Kato at the wheel. "Let's Roll Kato!" Hope "YOU" are feeling better now! M.S.Holder (i.e Fellow Modeler and Green Hornet Tv Show 66'-67' Cos-player) "Feel The Sting Of The Green Hornet!" (P.S. Watch Out for "New" Green Hornet Car "Black Beautry" by AMT Later on is year! 1:24 With figures two! WoW!
You're very welcome! I had heard that they were coming out with a 1/24th scale version of this kit later this year and I just watched a video of an unboxing of that kit over at HpiGuys. Looks like it will be an interesting kit to build. I vaguely remember watching the show when it was on TV ( I was only about 5 when it aired ) but remember watching re-runs of the show. Thanks for watching!
Black Beauty turned out nice!!!!
Thanks! This was done a week or so after I got home from surgery. I was getting a little stir crazy and needed something to do that wasn't to strenuous. At that point it was more comfortable to sit in my office chair than anywhere else in the house.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench 🙂👍
Looks good! One of my favorite cars! Thanks for the video 😎👍
Thank You! I didn't know what to expect when I bought this kit. It said glue together on the box and I honestly thought it would be a bit more of a challenge to put together than it was but it was just enough for now. Thanks for watching.
Nice video of the Black Beauty kit 👍 Thanks for sharing 👊🏻 Get well soon!
Thank You! Like I mentioned in the video, this was a simple and fun little kit to throw together for now. I am getting better by the day after this fairly major surgery. It has been 21 days since that day and although I am occasionally reminded through twinges of pain I am doing better each day. Thank you for watching!
I picked this up a few weeks back looking forward to doing it with my son this coming winter your video has me looking forward to it 👍👍
This kit is fairly easy to build. It's a great kit, especially for a beginner. Hope that you enjoy building it together. Thanks for watching!
Awesome build brother ❤
Thanks! It was fun...
I bought the amt one. Nicely detailed with Bruce Lee an van Williams. Detailed interior, very nice, just came out recently.
I have seen that one on other channels and it looks like it is a nice kit. I have not seen it in any of the stores I shop at. I have seen it online but I like to wait for them to go on sale before I buy.
Really nice build. Ive built this kit and found it was a little too simple. It had a lot of flaws. It was fun correcting as many as i could. This is a good kit for a beginner in the hobby or for a quick easy build like you say.
Thank You! Comparatively speaking, this kit WAS a little to simple. I haven't built one this easy in quite a few years, but when a person is in pain from just having surgery and still has to get a video out well, this fit the bill perfectly.
Nice job ,looks menacing and cool.
Thank You! I can't wait to get one of the 1/25 scale kits that have just come out. It looks like it will be a really cool kit as well.
Paint looks great for using rattle cans! Get well soon!
Thank You! I don't use rattle cans very often but this one did turn out pretty good looking. It's going to be a month or two before I'm able to get around with near zero pain according to the doctor. Until then, I'm basically stuck at home. Thanks for watching.
Thats a cool model. 33 parts i like it. She's on my list.
Thank You! It is as basic a model as you could ask for. It does build up pretty nice for the part count. Thanks for watching.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench speedy recovery to you
Terrific.
Thank You!
👀WOW 😍Magnificent 🤗 👍🏼
Thanks!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench 👍🏼
Cool kit 👍🏿
Thanks!
Nice work looks good.
Thanks 👍
I understand, I went through surgery 10 weeks ago\, got some aut puzzle at Hobby Lobby to do.Take care, thanks for sharing. Donnie
This surgery knocked me down for a bit. I didn't want to get to involved with much but at the same time I didn't want to stare at the walls any longer. This build helped to fill that gap. Good Luck with your recovery. Thanks for watching!
I'll n watching.
Thank You!
Still you did best you can, with what you bought. You should get the atm model before it's gone. Here in Canada cost me, 56 dollars. Look it up you will .like it.
Take care
M.
Thanks! Just coming home a few days after surgery, and being bored to tears, I wanted to build something but it had to be something quick and easy. So, I chose this. It isn't the best model kit out there but it was fun and most importantly, easy. Thanks for watching!
Sorry I meant mobius models, I have seizures, after vaccine, I'm sorry about your, surgery.. I still like your build. Hopefully, you will get the other, kit an make another video.
Always
M.
Honestly you will like this kit. I hope you make a video on it. I'm old school, an 61 years old. I don't do videos, but I do watch, when I'm, interested.
Later

Well the surgery was in connection to serving in the Navy for 20 years and being deployed to the northern Arabian Gulf back in 1991. I am on the lookout for one of those kits but haven't seen one yet. If I manage to get one it will definitely end up on the channel.
I think it might look pretty good with a little dark green metallic mix in.
It probably would look better with that. Maybe something in a transparent type of paint to overlay on the black paint.
Surgery. Yeah I just got out of the hospital with a heart attack. My diabetes was the cause of it. But we are good now. Thank God for the new medical advances. Hope you are doing good now. What type of surgery did you have? Get better so that you can get these great videos out
Thank You. As you may know (or not), I am a 20 year Navy veteran. I spent in total almost 1 full year in the northern Persian Gulf, on two separate six month deployments, during the early 90's. Due to my exposure to that area and the burn pits, I am considered to be a PACT Act veteran. As a result of that, I have been diagnosed with kidney cancer. On June 20th, 2023, I lost my right kidney due to a 8.3cm mass that had formed and was later determined to be stage 3 cancer. Other than the usual aches and sometimes extreme pain associated with surgery, I am doing fine. I have a full year of immunotherapy ahead of me yet, but I am looking forward to getting back to producing videos at a faster pace than what I am currently doing. I have a bonus video that I am hoping to get out by this coming Saturday (7/15/23). So, keep an eye out for that. Thank you for watching my videos. I hope that you're doing well since your visit to the hospital. Get well soon!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench Hey Buddy. I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years. I got out on a medical. I hope your getting your 100 percent plus your retirement. Sorry to hear about what you are going through and I truly hope that you get better. I am part of that Camp Lejeune water thing. I to build models. I am building a 1953 Ford Victoria. I live in NC I go to the Durham V.A. They have Duke Drs across the street. Take care buddy I will subscribe to your channel so that I can keep up with ya
@@jamesmaroon6161 Thank you for the sub! I have been building models since I was about 7 years old. My mom used to work for MPC in Mt. Clemens, Michigan around that time and my brother and I would get first run kits all of the time, it's a great hobby to be in. My last tour of duty I was a load master on an LCU out of Norfolk, VA. where I spent my last two and a half years in. It turned out to be the best tour of duty that I had the entire twenty I was in. I currently live in Michigan. The winters here sometimes really suck but the rest of the year it's great.
I am surprised that polar lights, did not do better? I have polar lights model. Mine has a vinyl, roof, which I did not paint. 7 coats of semi gloss, an 2 coats of clear gloss. Still building it. 1/25 scale.
Some of Polar Lights kits are great and still others, not so much. This one was on the not so much side but it still turned out pretty good looking for what it is.
Nice Black Beauty, came out great. I thought of getting this kit but wanted a 1/25 scale. Sounds like a great slump buster😊
Thank You! Rumor has it that the 1/25th scale will be out soon. According to Round 2 website they are working to get it out by the third quarter of this year. So that could be within the next six to eight weeks or so. I'll have to check that out when it arrives. This build was so very basic that it was easy to build. As I mentioned in the video, it was the perfect kit to build after just having had fairly major surgery especially for the amount of pain that I am currently experiencing.
I heard that there coming out with one this year
@@rogerwachal3718 I read somewhere that the availability is going to be sometime in August. I just looked and cannot find any information on the release date anywhere. I could swear that I read that at the auto world store website but the information is no longer there.
@@scaleautoguysworkbenchIt's out for Pre-order now. $35-$40 . Very detailed and comes with The Green Hornet and Kato
I follow your certain people for years. I latched unto accidentally. No I'm talking about modelling videos, other life subjects, but I'll see if my feelings are right. An I will follow you, for years.
Thank you for subscribing. I have about 300 kits to get through and I plan on building each and every one of them. So, I'll be here for as long as it takes.
Your build turned out great. Very nice paint job , that's all i ever use are rattle cans. Have a airbrush and I've never used it. I've built two or three of these over the years. But I wasn't happy with any of them. . And it wasn't my work , it's just the quality of the kit.. This kit and the Spindrift space ship from Land of the Giants . Both of those are just plain bad. But now AMT and Model Round-Up have just released a brand new Black Beauty in 1-25th scale.. It's really nice , and very detailed .. It's around $35 - $40... Check it out , it's definitely a big difference from this kit.
Thanks! I use a mixture of both rattle cans and airbrush. I like using both and often do on most of my builds. I generally don't build much in this scale but thought that this one would be quick and easy to do. Especially after just having returned home from the hospital just a few days prior to doing this video. I have seen reviews for the new 1/25 scale release. Looks like it will be a great one to get and build. Just might have to get one of those to find out. Thanks for watching!
Never built a car model before, but I am waiting for the re-release of this with figures. Never thought of using Mod Podge for securing clear parts.
I have been using Mod Podge for some time now. It dries clear and doesn't discolor or distort any plastic like typical, red tube glue does. The only downside that I noticed is that it dries kind of slow. Sometimes I have to clamp, angle or weigh down parts until it cures but once it has the part stays put.
Looks great. Did you use a Panel Liner for the doors, hood, etc.?
Thanks for the great question. The only places that I used panel liner on was the grille, headliight surrounds and the wheels.
