Awesome job! I'm just getting back into modeling after 40+ years , and brand new to air brushing or anything like that. And being that you did this with rattle cans is amazing. I'm learning so many new things with videos of yours and other guys . Thank you for the great content!
You're Welcome! Airbrush is certainly filled with advantages but I also wanted to help those that don't or aren't willing to go that route. Thanks for watching!
@@sodakmodelcars Absolutely agree ,and I was a rattle can fan from the start. I'm recovering off of my 3rd and hopefully last spinal surgery and thought i would give air brushing a go. But again your work with the rattle can is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be watching all your stuff! Lol.
Nice job on the 56, great colors, I do pretty good with rattle cans, after 45 yr hiatus I’m back to building, I’m trying air brushing out too, not so much luck with enamals, but ok with lacquers
Thanks! Air brushing can really open up the doors for options and finish quality. I rarely ever use enamels, they can be good for single step single color but I prefer lacquers and urethane or even acrylics as I like to custom Paint and use clear coats.
One other idea for masking is to just buy the 1/2" vinyl tape - get a piece of glass and a straight edge and a sharp razor blade and cut your own widths. Also - Bare Metal Foil is a great masking method. A little tricky to remove after paint. Thanks for posting your great videos. Love the Watson How To. USA-1
Lots of tricks for custom painting and masking. I use paired scalpel for ultra fine tape. Too bad BMF isn't what it use to be, was a great tool for chrome and masking but the new sheets I've gotten are a chore to work with.
@@sodakmodelcars Pretty obscure movie as well. Lol. I wish they'd do that as a kit. I remember seeing one of the cars used in the movie, at the old Autoramas they used to have at the local amusement park ballroom decades ago. In was probably around 1980/81. Shows my age. In was in highschool.
This was awesome! Thanks for showing us the rattle cans. Why I am thinking Gene Whitfield and Darryl Starbird? (yeah, Im that old) Spectacular design and paint. The Testers gloss is amazing. Your spray technique is not what I was doing. Maybe why I didnt do well with Testors. Will give it another try.👍👍
Thank you! Watson and Winfield are my favorites! I've done some Winfield style painting with airbrush previously on the channel. Good luck I hope it helps you out!
Great tutorial Adam! You've given me ideas for my 56 Del Rio kit👍 I guess I need to work more on my wet sanding. I don't go as far as you. Do you wet sand by hand or use a dremel style tool?
Thank you sir! I do all sanding wet or dry by hand. Wet sanding I just use a bowl of water to dip, clean, wet the sand paper. I do it over a large towel and wipe the body occasionally to watch progress. Hope it helps!
@1968fordman Common mistake in wet sanding is not going long enough (as most are trying to avoid burn through. Either not getting all the defects out or jumping grits to fast and not being thorough with the previous. In this case only one grit is used, so just getting flat while avoiding burn through areas.

That body turned out great. I like that Watson style paint, too.
Thanks Paul! One of the greats!
Colors remind me of ww dixie dance kings!👍

Nice Job Adam
Thank you
So awesome to see someone still building model kits. My first hobby ever is this. Always have a spot in my life for some model kits. 🍻🫡
The hobby is alive and well!
Great video Adam, turned out awesome 👍 I'll have to try out this technique on a future project 👍😎
Thanks Nick! Good luck!
I think it looks nice I like it.
Thank you!
Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you sir!
Great looking 56. The color combo reminds me of the Olds in the Burt Reynolds movie. W.W. and The Dixie Dance Kings.
Thanks Joe! That's a pretty obscure reference lol, but yes black and gold is a good look!

Nice 😁....thanks im going to try that method but with airbrush, had too much spitting with spray can's 😬😝

@@sodakmodelcars Thanks 👍......and your welcome 😁
Very nice work 👍🏻 👍🏻
Thanks Dutch!
Excellent tutorial (and yep, I'll get around to trying lots of that 😊), and that body looks fantastic, Adam!! ✌️😁

Welcome and thank you
Came out great!!!!!!
Thanks Tim!
Looks cool. 👍
Thanks!
Nice info looks great Adam
Appreciate it Jeff!
Awesome video, Adam! I love Inca Gold. This also tells me that I need a bigger spray booth! lol
Thanks John! It takes a good size booth to really handle spray cans!
I pretty much do the same thing. But I primer it before putting color to the body .
Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I do pretty much the same thing, just don't wet sand until paint goes flat.

Ok, that's been my largest fear wet sanding. I'll try that method on my next build. Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial. Not a whole lot different than the 1/1's is it.
Thanks Frank! No not at all
