    3o8 GTSi 2-valves per cylinder, so pre QV model. The 210 bhp claimed , in reality apparently the actual figure was way below, so.e say even S low as 170-175 bhp. Nowadays the drop in power is almost insignificant, 250 and 240 being just as unimpressive to a point where it doesn't matter if igz 210 bhp claimed. You don't buy a 308 GTB / GTS for performance nowadays especially when considering it wZ hardly impressive whe. It wS new. You buy it merely because it's the most beautiful car of all time.

    @@viktoriabegg3968 they are still out there. this one was one of the first or second 1/18 wagons greenlight did, the white grand marquis i think was first. i keep up with my favorite mfg's so i know what cars they are going to release before they become available. I was looking out for these when they were released so i could buy them before they got sold out. It did surprise me though how much they are going for now. while these cars a cool they have some inaccuracies. but since they are the only ones ever cast i can see why they are now so sought after. maybe greenlight will release these again and you will be able to get one. Keep eye on ebay.

    It’s a nice model and I just bought the 2017 version Greenlight made. Unfortunately, they changed it to a black interior but they did correct the rear deck lights to amber/red. We didn’t start using the blue deck lights until the early 80s. The Camaro’s engine didn’t hold up during the test period so it was not purchased for statewide use. Instead the 82 Ford SSP Mustang was selected for statewide deployment and I drove it on patrol until its last model year in 93.

    Thanks Mig, next video can you explain your method to paint the interiors, if you use a plastic primer and best type paint to use etc? Love AW and MiniGT but their interiors are a bit plain, although I know it’s to keep the cost down

  • @Migs_Models

    Just use acrylic paints from a hobby store many colors to choose from and water cleanup

  • @needfoolthings
    @needfoolthings18 күн бұрын

    Miniature painting brands are formulated for tiny details, so I recommend Vallejo Game Color, which should be readily available in a huge range of colors. Wash and scrub the interior down, because these plastics might have releasing agents on them that also push away paint. Try painting first without primer and try out if you need to thin the paint down a little with water to avoid brushstrokes on bigger surfaces. If the paint doesn't adhere or if it dries uneven in texture or color, get a light or medium grey polyurethane primer in a spraycan. Watch some videos on priming wargaming miniatures. Also, always use brushes as fullbodied as possible! Tiny detail brushes of size 0 or below, to me, are basically a scam. For your purpose, a smaller filbert brush might be a weapon.

    The AW 2023 Release 4 set was reported to have lead paint on them, so AW told retailers to destroy/discard the cars they received... so most people were never able to buy them. It's unclear if the set is lost forever or if AW is currently remaking the set to sell in the future.

    Mig, this is why I enjoy your channel(unlike the MTL diecast cafe' "all about me me me" site, n several others). You are down to earth n try your best to explain the ins n outs of the diecasts and in reference to the actual real vehicle. It's knowledgeable n educational. I'm jus sick of these sites where the whole segment is about "look what I got today with my patreon members $$$ that they gave me!" ☮️ Thanx for your insight and great content. 👍🏻

    That Mustang - talking about the real car if it exists - looks like a modern pop song sounds like. There's a little bit of everything, but nothing's done right. The same goes for the Challenger. What design feature do you want? Yes! I dpn't wanna get into details about shapes and color theory here... Your video of course, as always, is beyond any doubt. I love watching them no matter what you present because YOU like this stuff and you present backgrounds I'm always interested in. I binge your old videos as if your channel was on Netflix in 2017.

    I love this G10 van, I managed to get hold of one in the UK, which I was not banking on, as in my opinion its the best looking 4x4 van ever made. I did not know about the ladder and spare wheel on the back, till I saw your video. Its even cooler than I though, I will try and get an extra one, plus if they bring out any others, I will be keen to get them too. I have 6 of the R/C chevy vans with the opening back doors, its a shame M2 did not do some opening parts on this van too, but it has a great look, I am not splitting hairs about it having no opening parts, and I am super happy to have one in the UK.

    As a static display this unit looks ok, but doesn't rate the price point. Here are my deal-breaker issues: minimal undercarriage detail; zero operating features (doors, hood, tailgate, steering, suspension, etc.), brightwork is in silver paint, tires do not look to scale at all. Its products like these that make me REALLY miss Danbury Mint... Thanks for posting.

    I have this and really like it but greenlight left off a lot of details. It should have bodyside moldlngs, a chrome molding behind the back doors that wraps under the rear window, a passenger side door mirror, confederate flag front license plate, and the seats should be light tan and not yellow.

    it's around 2.5 times as expensive as the 1/24 version but still only the doors open just like on the 1/24. greenlight should offer opening hoods and trunks or at least one of the two in this price range. but i'm glad they make it in the first place as so few others take a shot at malaise era cars.
