I watched the whole video series. Learned a lot. This guy is very knowledgable and a good teacher.

Dude, love this series. Watching a second time as I’m beginning my third build. Thanks for doing this…

Thanks so much! Have fun building!!!

I always sprayed all the parts right on the sheet with primer as a kid before cutting them off.

Lol never thought of that

Just love the way you take time in explaining everything... Just made me really want to go and get a model kit and build it 😊 Congrats man, really great job!

Just finished applying the decals on the same model kit. Painted mine black with a red interior and "bumblebee" stripe.

Great video. I like the storage organizer idea

Clamps! Yes a must

I work in injection molding for a large electronics company and I dream about working for a model car company. I have such a passion for vehicles and models are slowly working there way into my heart as I grow older

As a model builder, I never thought about organizing all the parts by color code. Always seems I am finding that one part I missed just after cleaning the black paint off my brush! Great tutorial.

Great video. I would add that very first step before any glue or painting is to wash every part ( except possibly chrome or clear) with warm H2O & dish soap scrubing with a old toothbrush and good rinse with cool water. This removes any possible residue oils from the mold ejection process. Helps with ensuring good glue bonding and paint/ primer adhesion. Oops just watched vid 3 & you covered the dish soap wash. LOL

Don't stop sharing the wisdom.Looking forward to your next Build.

Thanks for the video! Can't wait to see the rest.

Great video brother thank you for sharing with us keep up the awesome work

Awesome build my friend, That car looks good, I've been looking for one to build on my channel, I think I may pick this one up and try it out. Thank you for sharing

Great video Angelo...

Really took your time and explained things!! Super helpful and really cool

Excellent idea dude, organising is an very helpful tip to making an model, great video dude.

Very thorough tutorial!

The headers are suggested to be orange because MOPAR aka Chrysler autos had the headers/ ex manifolds on the engine blocks when they were painted at the factory. The paint would eventually burn off within the first couple of months of use.

Heads are painted with the block. Headers are chrome or steel. If they are painted, it’s only to protect them during shipping/installation. The paint burns off the instant you run the engine (and smells lovely). 😉

On mopars the exhaust manifolds are the block color from the factory after time the paint burns off learned this from. Graveyard carz tv show

What originally was doesn’t really factor into it for me. I respect builders who do however with the their dedicated and thorough research. It’s just for me I just want to build a model and have it look good not necessarily accurate. Thanks for the info!

Out of the factory, MOPAR headers were orange, or corporate blue, as the block and as you drive they paint burns off to where you would see them used.

I've fed so many parts to the carpet monster, and when I look for the parts and give up, 2 months later it spits them out. I just bought some flambeau clear storage boxes, and plano 3700 boxes, they work great for part storage.

Cool vid on some tips and tricks new to your channle bewn watching loads great channle u got my zub ur so calm i get real😬wats next i think i need to start to think and decide calmly rite this now ill finish this piece wen this peace done and so on 👍keith

Angelo my husband cut my table It’s your fault !! LoL Sorry this is Michael talking I use a spru cutting scissors ✂️

I love the beginner how to. You chose a level 5 which has a lot of pieces and difficult. I am showing my son how to build a model he chose the level4 68 camaro. Do you ever find the picture in the model instructions to be mirrored? I have seen where the pic says big piece on left and on the actual model it goes on the right?

What if my model doesn't have the color pallet numbered? I love this so idea of keeping the pieces together for ease of painting. The kit that got does not have any colors listed for the parts, so I feel like I'm in my own here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any tool kits you would recommend? For beginners?

How much is it for one model plus supplies...paint, glue, sprue cutters, etc.?

Can e6000 be used as a glue?

?? Lower Sandpaper Nimber is Coarser/Harsher\Faster Cut 150 grit is Super Coarse. Where as 400 grit is Small n fine grit

why did they have flash?? was it injection psi, or hold psi, or too much hold time, or was it clamping psi.

Great video. I wondered if you or your subscribers could tell where to locate instructions for any ertl 1995 Mitsubishi eclipse from fast and the furious (green)

Excellent tutorials mate!, I am new to modelling and I want to know if plastic cement glue will still work properly after the part has been painted?

Lots of good information. The only error I caught is you pronounced Tamiya wrong 😀

Kermit the Frog narrates model building to 70’s porn music.

I’m new to modeling and getting ready to start my first model (68 Charger RT). I’m looking everywhere for the Tamiya and can’t find it. I read many Hobby Lobby’s no longer sell it. What would you suggest in its place for something similar? Thanks!

Looked everywhere for the Tamiya what? There appears to be a missing word in your question. Do you mean the car body paint stand? Either way try searching an online retailer like Amazon or Model Roundup if your local shops do not have it. Thanks and good luck.

You confused Charger with Challenger?

Harbor Freight has needle Files Exactly Same Company that makes them for Testors super Cheap set of 12 are $1.99 -,$2.49 for set without the plastic Handles they also have the plastic Handles ones Same as Testors but non Testors logoed for slightly more but over time the handles often come loose hence I opt for non handles for my model tool array You're zcorrect headers are normally Steel, Aluminum, Flat Black or Flat White. Never Engine Block color. Why ?? it's the VHT. (Very High Temp) paints cook off survival Temperature in Standard Engine Colors do not go High enough to Endure Extremity of Exhaust heat. Hence Flat Black, Flat White or Silver are it
