@@AngelosWorkbench Alpha Model kits can be very overwhelming and time consuming with all parts and detail, I certainly felt that way with mine. That combined with the horrible instructions can make it hard to want to push through. I made several mistakes on mine because it was so hard to figure out the instructions ( order of operation, installing parts wrong, reversed decals, etc…) Considering the price point, the windows (glass) are absolutely ridiculous/nightmare. Even with all that, my finished model looks amazing. Yours looks incredible, far better than what I was able to do, hope to see the finished product some day!
@toddward2310Ай бұрын
It would be my guess that they manufacture the calipers to fit the resin parts incase anyone wants to build the kit without the photo etch. My Alpha model La Ferrari Aperta was the same. You can always remove material from the calipers for the photo etch, you would not be able to add any for just resin builds. However I think it would be crazy to leave out the photo etch because the breaks look amazing when fully built. As always, great video, I enjoy watching your builds.

First of all I love this series as that gen of Firebirds are some of my favorite pony cars. Very nice choice of colors too. I am, however concerned for your health. I love 2K clears, I don't think there is anything better suited for reproducing a great finish on a model but isn't the stuff is notoriously bad for you. I can see your are not wearing gloves and hear you speaking without a respirator. Your spray booth, like mine, can't cope with the fumes as I can see them in the light being sucked in by the fan. Problem is we have to open up the AB and its take a minute for the fan to clear these. That can't be good for you, please stay safe.
@AngelosWorkbench2 ай бұрын
Thanks very much. I have done some research and you are correct. 2K is pretty nasty stuff. I am wearing a respirator during the video but I shift it to the side when I’m speaking. Then I put it back. I also don’t video the 2k getting sprayed very often for that reason. Thanks very much for the post and bringing up this point. Safety is important!!

Angelo, how long you wait in between paint coats, and how long after placing your decals, do you wait for laying the last 3-4 layers of clear coat?
@AngelosWorkbench2 ай бұрын
The paint coats are about 10-15 mins and then about 30 minutes before clear. I’ll still the bodies in a dehydrator for an hour and then let them sit overnight minimum. Decals take a while to cure. Then the first coat of clear has to be a light coat just in case and to seal them up. Then the additional clear layers are heavier. That’s coming up soon!
@JoseDiaz-kb3fs2 ай бұрын
What was that you added after mixing the paint, a thinner or paint retarder?
@AngelosWorkbench2 ай бұрын
That was the UVLS clear. You mix that with the created paint per their data sheet at 10%. It transforms the paint to an acrylic polyurethane so it will adhere to hard surfaces better. Then the 4011 thinner goes in at 10-25%. Then it all has to sit for 10 minutes to acclimate. If you don’t let it sit it sprays poorly.
