    I can't tell you how much I really appreciate your taking the time to do these videos. I'm a retired Marine that was in Iraq and Afghanistan and building models has really been the only thing that has helped with the mental and physical issues that some come back with so Thank you very much.

    What a neat kit. I remember building Snake's white Hot Wheels Top Fuel slingshot (the 1970 car) with my grandfather, in the mid 1980s. He let me apply the Keith Black Racing Engines decals... and my grandfather was the real Keith Black. Miss you, grandpa.

    This kit is basically the Young American dragster reissue kit. It even has the "too big" body fit issue under the engine! Notice how its scraping the ground? To builders....if you have the headers from the Don Garlits rear engine kit, they look way more accurate than these units in this kit. There's also a 1/16 scale version from Revell thats been around for years too. Nice video's!! Its nice to be able to see what comes in the kit.

    I just completed my 1st ever rail car. Oh what a pain in the arse !
    The model is the very original MPC
    JAWBREAKER 40 years old. When I was 26 I managed a place called Allied hobbies in Langhorne Pennsylvania and models would come back missing parts ( CUZ THE CUSTOMERS LOST THE FRIGGIN PARTS !) we could not send back to our distributor so we ate it and they sat in our storeroom as junk. I finally bought them all up at cost. This kit was sitting on my shelf for 30 something years and I finally got the urge to build it. THANK GOD
    for Testors Aluminium plate in a can. I wish they would do most or all of their "metalizers" in rattle cans. It would be very helpful and convenient. As alway's,HPIGUY builds another masterpiece 😎👍🏎🚘🚙🚛🚚🛵🚖🚒☝️👍

    Great job . It's rainy days like this I would either build s model I had, or , my Mom would drive me to get one ! I always got a funnycar or dragster, and sometimes a WWII fighter or newer jet bomber. And I LOVED it ! Still do,but now it's for much gauge train layout .

    The issue with it lining up is model design issue. There are a couple of the front engine dragsters and 2 of the older top fuel funny cars that have the same issue. It still looks AWESOME.

    Quite the ecstatic kit. I am mesmerized by the subject. That is a long rail. Love those tires. To other kit builder's, chrome plate should be removed from mating surfaces UNLESS you do use CA glue. But, even then, it would be better removed. I have observed the "GEL" Super glue is a bit more wimpier bonding than standard CA glue. I guess the gel weakens it. Love the final reveal. Superb job.

I once saw her car on display when I was a small kid. I don't know if there is a model of it but I hope there will be one day. Awesome build ! Don't sweat the minor mistake !

      You talking about the Mustang or the dragster? Die cast models of both are on Ebay. Her last name is spelled Muldowney by the way- that will make it easier to find.
      Kits, not so easy. I remember seeing one of her Road Runner when I was a kid but not since then.

    Gday Chris, awsome build. Im doing the Tom Mongoose McEwen's same era car. Kit is basically the same. Did you end up having to pull the diff centre back out to get the whole assemble into the chassis? I did lol

    I would like to challenge you.
    Check out the 1/8 scale don garlits dragster or purdohme from the 70’s or 80’s.
    A lot of parts and a lot of fun.
    I have really wished they would do a currently top fuel dragster that size and stage challenge.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому

      Oh it's fiddly but take some time and super glue helps. I surely dropped a few cusses on final assembly but it got together like they all do.

    The biggest issue with front engine dragsters wasn't really clutch explosions it was because of the threat of engine fires, you can imagine going 200 mph and you engulfed in flames which a lot of drivers experienced just that first hand. Either way it could be a really bad day when these things happen to a driver. 🤬

  • @bigdave0311
    @bigdave0311 4 роки тому

    I know you use rust-oleum on most of your models. How long do you let it dry before sanding or putting on decals.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому

      24 hours or so, but I keep the shop dehumidified too.
      I don't sand, it's spray and pray. No time to sand and fiddle. Two days on average per kit. :)
