Welcome to my KZread page! I am a scale modeler in Indiana building 1/24 scale Nascar, drag racing, dirt track and sports car models. I also build an occasional 1/43rd scale model.
Clay, Try black magic marker or any other color for belt straps. Cleaner look and easier to apply. Respectfully submitted from a Dayton Ohio builder now in LA California. Congrats on all your really beautiful builds especially that Vette! Regards, Jim Bunch

Hi, well done. I have enjoyed watching the complete build tremendously. This brings back a lot of memories for me. Butch was my first cousin, I have always been extremely proud of his career. You have done a great job on his Charger.

I'll have to rewatch this when I start mine. How does that chrome pain hold up? I heard it dulls if you touch it?

JR Salvinos did a great job, proactively correcting a small quality problem ( plugged or broken ejector pins ) in the 3 mounting pins on the 2 rear wheel brake fairings ( parts #58 & 59 ) and a small omission on the decal sheet ( decal #42 ) the “Shell” logo for the rear wing is missing from the main decal sheet. Proactively mailing the corrected parts & missing decal demonstrates JR Salvinos approach to customer satisfaction - GREAT JOB JR Salvinos ! 👍😄

Notice fellow model builder maniacs? Clay never has over spray on his fingers? You ever do that? And go out, with a red, or black thumbnail? Good sign of a fellow hobbiest eh? Lol! Keep on building!
@DanielJohnston-go6tw25 күн бұрын
You do nice, clean, neat work man. And letting glue dry, during assembly is crucial. I rush my builds too much. I'll try letting glued up parts and assemblies dry completely during my builds from now on. Keep up the good work, and keep doing these modified builds.
@DanielJohnston-go6tw25 күн бұрын
I notice you don't scrap away any paint, before applying glue during assembly? I've always done that. I know your under time constraints with your online videos, so is scraping away paint from glue areas really necessary?
@BobBerardjr772Ай бұрын
What glue difference is there using the toothpick vs the zap out of the bottle? Or is it just easier applying small dabs here n there? Great build Clay! Thank you

You know what’s impressive? At no point did you have to do extensive puttying, sanding, shaping, and scribing. No replacing “incorrect” parts with resin or 3D printed ones. No scratchbuilding suspension. Just a well-designed kit out of the box, an enjoyable experience.

What looks like extra thin glue is used. What brand do you use? Your method of building the chassis definitely looks easier! Great attention to detail.

Clay, are you able to glue the rear flip-ups/fenders to the sidepod before you insert the inner well that needs to be black and before you place the side pod on the undertray? If possible, when the time comes, I might like to smooth the seam between the side pod and those "fenders". Thanks.

Really nice build video. Thanks for the voiceover as to what you are doing...helps understand how it goes together. Not a subject i plan on building as Indycar isn't my thing.This kit seems a bit "fiddly"...meaning a bunch little parts that take some time and a bit of finesse to line up. Not calling it bad, more of an observation. Thanks for another great video
