I'm cryin'. Bought a roller for 1200. Parked it forty feet off the road. Drunk driver left the road and hit the rear quarter, insurance co totaled. Got my money back. Thanks for the memories!
I just finished up the old Testors 46 / 48 Ford convertible... What a challenge that kit was to get together. This Revell kit looks nice. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
I just popped the box on mine (also purchased at Ollie's; wish I had bought two) and found your video as I was looking for ideas. I think I'm going to do the police version and your video will help me a lot. Thanks for posting it and I look forward to part 2.
Hey Matthew, I'm attaching a link for a paint mixer that will definitely make your life easier. You may need to epoxy the mixing rod to the motor spindle I did. Clean up is a snap. Make sure to turn it off before and you take it out of the paint pot. Run it in a little bottle of thinner for a second and it's clean.
Very nice job. Just get one sized tape and lay a piece out on a small piece of glass and cut to width as needed. It takes very little time. I agree that more colors adds to the eye appeal.
It looks good! I'll be building mine soon. I agree the Monogram/Revell kits are usually the best in terms of precision fit and finish, even if they are sometimes more challenging than the others.
Believe or not,Don Yost uses 2 of the 1/2 oz.,1 oz total of the Modelmasters bottles with 2 to 1 ratio with Lacquer thinner. I tried that way and I always have a decent amount of paint left. He uses is up by applying roughly 16 coats. Then a clear coat. Crazy !
Gday mate greetings from Australia been watching some of your posts finally subscribed this looks like a great build can’t wait to see it finished good on ya
Looks great so far, on the windshield, I have a 48 Ford, and it had chrome around the windshield, but not around the rear window, I also bought three of these kits from Ollies. Looking forward to the updates!
Looking really really good! Me, I definitely don’t mind the length of the videos. There isn’t any real unfilled silence. Anyway, keep doing what you do and I can’t wait to see the next one. 😎👍🏾
Love your videos, got back into the hobby last year. You have inspired me me to try bare metal foil..I've started several but only completed 2..keep it up, I look forward to all your vids
I take it that you did not clear coat it. I haven't painted anything with enamel for years. I always touched it too early in the drying period, which for me could be up to two weeks. I will give it a try again. Nice color and I like the interior.
Nice job so far. Takes patience. Curious where in the house is your hobby desk and paint booth. I spray outside and set up a small folding table to assemble. Not enough room for a permanent setup. Oh well, still have fun with it.looking forward to your foil work.
Just wanted to say hello and to say I enjoy your videos. Was wondering if you have ever tried putting a bb in your paint bottles to help shake them up?
I have my share of impatient finger prints all hidden away when finished. I have a lot of models going at once just to avoid the problems of glue and paint not dry, cured or hardened.
I just subscibed mainly because of your laid back approach and good sense of humor. Plus it takes b*lls to paint a model brown, just kidding, looks good.
Black interiors may look good in real life but they don't show well on model cars & even worse on camera. Might as well paint the windows black...lol. You were wise to lighten it up. Can't wait to see how this comes out!
Driven by a salesman for Hershey's candy bars.... Or someone color blind.haha Sorry, couldn't resist. 😎 The music inspired my attempt at humor. Made myself laugh, so not a total loss.ha
And one more thing I didn't know those tester enamel bottles you're using once you send them properly actually make nice paint for airbrushing people don't use it no more they just like using that ready to spray stuff that that's out now where you just put the drops into the cup and put a couple drops of it flow additive or thinner and then there you go you're ready to go you just put your thumb on the tip to let the air mix up the contention a lot easier but I'm going to start using all the tester stuff I have now and thinning that out cuz I have a collection of a hundreds and hundreds of these little bottles of enamel is laying around the start using that for bodies to save a little money and get rid of it cuz I'm spending anywhere from 20 to 30 bucks on Vallejo paints per model just because it's easy and convenient and then I spray 2K clear over all my models too which is amazing
Awesome Bill man I'm doing the same car and building the police version and I'm building the stock version I got both kits so I could build both of them I always do that with two and three and four and one kits there's not enough parts to build the second version which some kits you can build both versions you just missing a body but I'll buy two three or four kids so I can build all four versions what fun is it just to build the one version right laugh out loud but awesome build and you give me a few ideas of what colors to use as well thanks as in suspension and motor wise & the frame. I'm really trying to get away from the all black framing suspension that I'm trying to get more color into it making every sub of some of the car flow together like the frame has the same colors as the body and the body has the same color as the interior etc trying to use all the colors in each place make it all flow and make every part stand out in a way
Thats a cool kit getting shotguns inal in kit to go with the police car someone built 2 one wit stock look with bullet wholes in windows an doors aan the cop version same bullet wholes in window screen like it was a old police chase dio but yeah thats something id like to do myself if i ever get chance to grab couple these kitseven if i get one ill build police version then even get another car from era and do what last one i seen do but in my own vision u know anyway good stuff keep up the good work,, all the way from Ireland big 👍..

Why do model car kits cost over $25 dollars now ? I used to buy these as a kid for a couple bucks , and now nobody can afford em , there isn't $2.00 dollars worth of plastic in the whole dam box , so sad .
And this one the best kids that they made back then in that year era within a few years of the that this kit came out it was barely any claim to do on the body hardly any flash the frame has a few little places of flash but mostly injection mold holes that you got to fill in or sand but that's about it though and for everyone else remember to put the Dan exhaust system in before you put that other x frame rail member in the center on top because otherwise you have to cut it loose on one side and then slide your exhausting it's all skills in first the instructor kind of messed up on that part and I didn't realize it until I've already glued both the x's on both my frame so I'm building both so I have to go ahead and cut that one side loose to put the exhaust back in but that's me for being dumb. And not every rebel kid is good A lot of the ones from that year that they made are very junky kids because the frames and bodies are warped or not molded with enough styrene and stuff like that this is one of the better kids but the new German kids they got out now in 2022 are absolutely amazing tooling I mean it's like to me a quality and some of the kids fit so tight that you guys scrape the pain after the tolerances are so tight it won't fit and either get a German kit from Ravel it's the 289 Cobra kit and you can always put that car together without glue really if you wanted to but you're completely right older AMT kids and stuff like that if you want to challenge go ahead and build them because those kids have a lot of flash and a lot of parts that shouldn't be parts like you got to assemble the head on the '90s mustang GT one it looks like garbage when you're done I use the motor out of the foose Ford F100 kit because the frame wasn't molded with enough styrene and the body was warped and not pulling up with enough styrene either to be able to work with it just shattered in my hands and a lot of other people had problems with that kit being overly words where you can't even work with it but it has a beautiful motor in it someone buy a bunch of those kids if they're on sale for $3 at my local hobby store because the kids are drunk just for the motors because it has a beautiful Ford motor in them the other nice thing about this kid is is that if you don't build the police version you get police lights to put on a different classic car from the 50 to 60 to turn to a police car as well so you can basically turn any vehicle into a vintage looking police car and they even got the radio and everything for the interior it's pretty cool little kit with the police equipment and since my local hobby shop has these two in one 1948 Ford police coupe kits on sale for $5 I'm going to go tomorrow and buy every single one they have because they are nice kids nice for scratch building drag cars out of them making race cars NASCARs anything you want out of these kids moonshine cars custom cars everything even the frames are nice for building rat rods and stuff too I'm also building a chopped up version of this to make it a convertible no top roadster type hot rod with a big blower motor and a roll cage and wheelie bars for drag racing on it then I got another one I'm building as well the same kit with I got the roof chopped the deck is rounded from the trunk that I rounded out some more made the wheel wells bigger but put some fender flares on it and then made it more curvy and more decorative looking and then I chop the hood and narrowed it chop the fenders off made those not as big as a hump on them it looks really good right now a lot of work went into it about 6 months worth of body work working on it for 2 or 3 hours a day after work these model kids if you do custom builds men are a lot of work it's crazy on how long it takes to do custom deals like chopping tops and sexy bodies and stuff like that just to get the body to look correct after you put filler in it so you can't tell when you paint it and thank God for RUclips with reviews of model kit showing which kiss to stay away from and which kids to buy because when I was a kid back in the early 2000s like the age 10 to 13 you didn't have RUclips you had to go buy the kids and if they were a junk you're just out of luck and have to build it or use the parts you can in it for other builds so you're basically buying blindly back then that's why people had so many kids and big collections of them back then because you had to buy a bunch of kids just to get a few good kids but thank God for RUclips it saved me a lot of money of buying junkie kits but this kit right here is a really nice kid I love it

Great choice of colour for the Ford. It looks great.
Thanks Mike!!👍🏻👍🏻
Great progress!!! I like the brown!!! Love the 48!!! I'll be watching

Thanks Pete!!👍🏻👍🏻

I remember my dad building that Testors kit.
I know this is an old post but I'm currently working on that very kit. I agree totally - it's challenging.....
@@sgnt9337 stick with it. It was a pain but I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
My now favorite car model building channel with Hpiguy.
Thanks Howard!!👍🏻👍🏻
I watch hpiguys workshop to Howard. Between the 2 channels I think they are awesome! With a touch of great humor also😊😊
Nice,,,,, i' can't wait to see the final....i love your videos ,thank you

Mmmm, milk chocolate body and caramel seats & door panels, lol. Very nicely done !
Very nice job. Just get one sized tape and lay a piece out on a small piece of glass and cut to width as needed. It takes very little time. I agree that more colors adds to the eye appeal.
That worth watching very good
That paint looks awesome. Will be a cool car when done. Ron
Thanks Ron!!👍🏻👍🏻
Looks great, I haven't built it yet, but it's on my list.
It's a really nice kit.
Looking good !!! 👍👍👍
Thanks!!👍🏻👍🏻
I've had this kit sitting on my shelf for several months. Will be good to see if you have any issues so I'll know what to expect.
Nice detailing job!
That kit looks great. Color choices are spot on. Can’t wait to see it finished. Thanks for the effort
Thanks Anthony!!👍🏻👍🏻
Looks good so far. 👍
Thanks Joe!!👍🏻👍🏻
This one looking good .
Thanks Peter!!👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Doug, no I've never tried that.
@@modelcarvideos5829 I put one in all of my jars and so far it works great. Just thought I’d pass it along.
Classic
I have my share of impatient finger prints all hidden away when finished. I have a lot of models going at once just to avoid the problems of glue and paint not dry, cured or hardened.
Cool, Matthew. Your mom told me about your channel.
Hey!!! It's so good to hear from you!!!
LOL! Mama told me not to come, she said, that ain't no way to have fun, son! Open up the window, let some air into the room....
I just subscibed mainly because of your laid back approach and good sense of humor. Plus it takes b*lls to paint a model brown, just kidding, looks good.
Lol!! Thanks!!👍🏻👍🏻
Looks good! I've got that same model. Haven't decided which one to build.
I've been thinking about getting this model, though I haven't decided which way I'll build it when I do.
Buy 2!!

Samsung Galaxy S8. Its my phone.

Several days.
Looks like it was paInted with melted Hershey bars. Yummy!
Lol!! Yep
How to paint the dashboard and steering wheel and steering column same colors as the body

I agree!!
Hi from Australia, Revell car models down here are not cheap, i pay well over $50 for a basic model car.....
Wow!!
i think hpiguy is a lazy modeler. He's a curbside modeler at best. Great job on the 49 coup dude!!!!!
Thanks Dayton!!👍🏻👍🏻
