    The white line on the sides was a good move. The roll bar could use some Hella lamps up there for show! Good job Gavin.

    Looks awesome!!. After all that I hope we're going to see a bit more of the Brat in action.
    I never knew about the Blazing Blazer.
    The filling of the seams on the rollbar and the T top and window gaskets really set it off. The little details count. Looks sweet.

    Did the same with fitted Re-Re Blackfoot body onto a King Blackfoot had some old decals but made the main red and yellow sections from vinyl sheets. Looks much better. Top job buddy, looks awesome! Scary that First run with a newly finished hard shell! 😱

    hi gav, I teach aeromoddeling for the RAF Air Cadets, if the new glue doesn't work on the clear plastic, I use PVA as that doesn't stain clear plastics or melt them :)

    I use Revell 39608 for all my builds and works well comes out nice and thin and dries pretty quick after applying it

  • @UKGtrotter2k

    Get some Canopy or clear fix glue, to remove masking tape residue use some lens wipes or a little tamiya acrylic thinner on a cloth and gently rub.

    alright, story time, i first saw an RC truck in a movie when i was a little boy in the 80's it was this truck, the subaru brat that i saw in the movie "The Manhattan Project" it's about a super smart kid who builds a nuclear bomb and tries to enter it into a science fair as a way to protest, anyways while he's stealing the plutonium he uses this little truck to move the plutonium outside the building (after he used a massive Laser to cut a hole in the wall just big enough for the subaru brat to fit thru) it's a great movie, but it's also the movie that got me into RC , of course i couldnt get a brat at the time, i was poor, i'm going to get one soon and try and build exactly like the one i saw in the movie (AND i want to figure out a way to get its drivers head to move like in the movie even though that was not a stock thing on the truck. instead of the brat my foster parents got me a "9.6v Turbo Bandit" i'll never forget it, it wasnt the truck i wanted nor the truck in the movie but it was a rc truck and it did pretty good till i broke it and then i ended up getting a traxxas rustler and i drove it for a decade, all the time i was zoomin that thing around.

    • @RCKickschannel

      You can get the head to move by using a small servo and combining it on the transmitter so it follows the steering servo. Good luck with your build, it’s a fun truck for sure

  • @alexanderhetherington6018

    Use PVA glue for gluing clear plastic parts - used by model kit builders as doesnt damage the plastic and anything that seeps out is easily removed with water.

  • @andyraven6219
    @andyraven6219 2 года назад

    In armour modelling they paint the camo, apply the decals and clear coat. Then you do all your weathering, safe in the knowledge if you get something wrong you will not muck up your base camo scheme. Great looking Brat by the way.

      The issues I had are my fault vs the body itself but yes this one has a load of detail so it does take a while.

  • @alfredyost7972
    @alfredyost7972 2 года назад

    I use a "Testors" paint pen to go around the windows. It works great and is easy to use. Thoughts?

  • @DustyFingersRC
    @DustyFingersRC 2 года назад

    Nice touch on the roof hatch. Lacquer takes up to a week before I go near it. Sounds like you went in too fast with the masking tape. Done a great job. I have disasters all the time. Nice to see a real honest painting experience.

  • @canuckchuck8836
    @canuckchuck8836 2 года назад +1

    Great job! May i recommend using "canopy glue" by Evergreen for the rear window? There are other products by Testers and Revell for clear parts and they claim to be more of a cement than a modified PVA glue. I have only ever used the canopy glue due to availability.

  • @jamesclark9502
    @jamesclark9502 2 года назад

    Nice job Gav, the small details make it pop - very box art! Question about the mention of T-Cutting and then waxing it when the lacquer has fully hardened - does that mean that you've lacquered over your decals? If not, won't you risk damaging those?

    Next time your in Halfords pick up a can of the polyurethane clear coat for your next build. This stuff is super hardwearing and gives a very high gloss finish. Much better than the standard acrylic based one you used here. Just bare in mind it can take up to a week to fully harden and needs at least 2 coats.
