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!

    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?

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.

    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 👍🏻
