Model Car Building - AMT 1968 Shelby GT-500 in 1/25th
Building and painting the AMT 1968 Shelby GT500 model car in 1/25th scale.
More model building videos on the way, thanks for watching and for all the support it has been amazing. If there is a kit you're interested to see let me know in the comments and I may build one :)

Good gravy that is double the prime and paint needed. It's absolutely beautiful and if that's how you do it it works it's just not necessary. Again stunning work.

Good call on the primer. I find priming always results in a better paint job. Well done!

I use "Mod Podge" for any glass pieces. I have NEVER had another problem again. Also if it comes through it can easily be cleaned with water. Trust me... way better than taking a chance ruining it with regular glue..!!

Do you use it as a bonding agent or a filler? Does it stick the glass to the interior plastic ?

I am building the same kit. Fitment issues all around. When you get passed this, it is an easy kit to build.

I built this one a while ago so can’t recall whether I had fitment issues 🤔 but some models are like that , it’s always nice when they go together smoothly
Nice build! I like the way Tamiya sprays work! Might try some Micro Kristal Clear for the glass.

For the glass use ModPodge. Using Rustoleum matte clear on valve covers and intake is a game changer...turns them aluminum, once dry you can panel line for the win. You did an excellent job...well done with the wood & chrome interior. Cheer🍻 from Canada.

I’ve heard some Rustoleum paints can be used on model paints while others can’t because they damage the material the kits are made from. Is there a way to know which are safe and which are not?

@@wendyst.germain4482 just dont use it as a body paint. I use Rustoleum Black prime flat, semi gloss black all the time for under carriage, engine compartment. I also use Rustoleum silver metallic. on the exhaust system. Rustoleum matte clear over chrome parts dulls it to look aluminum. That's pretty much all i use it for.
I about to start this Ford. Have heard its a monster? for fit, did you find the motor stood to tall for hood? Etc. Yours looks Great!!!.....and remember...you keep building them and I will keep watching them.😎.

Why in the world would you never clear coat over decals?

I have never had the confidence to try. I’ve heard that clears can dissolve them. What clear do you use and has it worked safely ?

Ok my friend….extremely light mist….then wait 1 day….then lay 1 regular coat…wait one day then lay the second coat. This is how I was taught…it has never failed me. If you do not clear coat over the decals then several years of shelf life will cause the decals to separate and yellow. I use Mr. Hobby…( Mr Super Clear) if you aren’t sure yet, use a spare or cheap body to test it…you won’t be disappointed. Happy building brother 👍🏻
