Great, great paint job, Paul! Last car I finished was a 458 Ferrari, used the pink primer, could not believe the rich color, and I just ordered the Hasegawa foil, looks superb, took notes (as always) my GTO will be next, as always great work, thanks again
That foil is stunning, the best i have seen and gives me hope as airbrushing just doesn't get close nor did the bare metal foil. Lovely spray job. Oh to be 20 years younger with all the techniques i have learned recently and all the new paints as my kits would have been better. On to the next video. Philip
I was building an AFV club centurion the other day it was the first time I'd ever had any mould realise agent grease left on a kit so it was a wee surprise but like you I never wash the whole sprues just the part, never seen the point in washing sprues n loosing small parts or maybe you just never know! I used to be a car modeller before got into my beloved armour now but always found it funny how you never get orange peel on armour no matter what you do haha! I was a professional body specialist in the trade you do tend to follow along same guide lines not nothing near as major needed on the model's to a real car to get a nice solid looking sheen the airbrush is great for the finer layers to a spray gun!
Build looks outstanding so far Paul. Looking forward to the next part. A kit I regret not getting when I could of for the cheaper retail price and now goes for lots is the Aoshima Mad Max Road Warrior Interceptor. Would really love one of those in my collection.
I completely agree with your move to lacquer paints and Gravity is my preferred paint. Yes, they have a terrible odor, but the quality can't be argued with. They spray incredibly well, and look fantastic.
Buddy, it looks great - I just got some Hasegawa mirror foil but haven't used yet. I do regret building some kits without looking at all the instructions and then realizing that I needed to take stuff apart and start gain - always review the instructions completely!
Very nice paint job Paul... The only regret I have was starting the fujimi 1/24 shelby corbra I broke the manifold should have just left the kit in the stash.
Mine when I restarted modelling during covid, I did a tamiya 1/24 Nissan xaniva gtr in a custom paint job and it looked awful and now I’m trying to get one to do properly there like 65 quid
I was a model show a fortnight ago there was a big car section but looking at some the orange peel in them was crazy! It just took over the glare on the camera and noticed alot of there metallic paints the flakes were massive on a 1.24 scale car again especially on camera it showed up like it was a flake paint job on a modded car!
Have you ever used aluminum duct tape for the chrome it can be used it may not be quite as easy as the foil you used but it looks good it is a little bit thicker so a little bit harder to cut but it comes in a roll it isn't really very expensive can be purchased at any hardware store I have had the same roll for years it sticks very well so you have to be careful that you don't get to much on the paint unless it has been drying for a while .
I am getting back into building models. The 250 is my favorite Ferrari. I know there are the kits from Fujimi and Revell. Is the Fujimi your favorite kit? What model of air brush are you using and comressor? You did a good job on explaining the paint process. I painted my motorcycle with rattle cans and I used a 2 part spray product called SprayMax for my clear coat. It came out very nice. I wonder how it would do with small models. Have you tried SprayMax before.
The Fujimi kit is very good I have recently acquired the model factory hiro one which in 1/12 scale is amazing. The review will be uploaded in a few hours.
I use kitchen foil from eBay 10 quid for a 30metre role. The glue will dry out before you can use it all 😃😀 I honestly think it is better than any of the dedicated products. Great build as always!
I'm you're building this, I have one in my stockpile and want to build it this year. Just not a lot content or reference photos on it floating around out there.
Great work as always Paul, i am in total awe of your work. I have just started modelling again after a rather lengthy break and I’ve been watching you for the past 18months and learned a lot. I have had this kit in my stash for quite a while. We’re did you get your upgrade sets Paul ? I’ve been searching for a while and i cannot find them mate any advise to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated Paul thanks mick
Great paint prep and related tips leading up to the painting! I have a question relating to the final finish: The clear coat seems to “round over” the seams and body lines (as are visible in the close-ups of the completed body pain. To me this takes away some of the realism of the scale. Is there a way in which you can prime-paint-clear coat the body and prevent that rounding of seams and edges on the body? I ask as a relative novice to model building, but pride myself in detail (to a fault it seems).
That's looking stunning so far, great job. Do you have the Fujimi Ferrari 330 P4 in the stash? They would look good together. As others have said, I now regret investing in acrylic rather than lacquer paints but it's all a learning curve. Cheers!
The Honda NSR 500 factory color, not because of the bike but because the decals were awfull and i ruined the fairings. Then i made a red and white livery but still not happy with that.
Watching this and listening to the comments on BMF is not accurate. I have used BMF for years and recently the vendor has gotten a bad series of batches. Currently the BMF is really good, improvements have been made and the product is much better.
I’ve got about £40 worth of the bmf that’s useless to me so that’s all well and good but doesn’t replace my useless bmf. So I’ll pass on future purchases of it
Hi Dave yes the red covers a lot faster using less paint and imo is a lot more vibrant too. It also works similar with yellow primer. Well worth trying
Another fine job Paul! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for showing us how to prep the body really appreciate the effort you put into these videos
Excellent work as always. Beautiful work. Great looking body. Thanks for sharing.
Another high quality build!,im impressed with the Hasagawa foil, i to have had my problems with BMF not sticking !!.
Nice video mate 👍 have got this one in the stash fantastic paint job as usual and the Hasegawa foil looks awesome look forward to seeing the next step
Great, great paint job, Paul! Last car I finished was a 458 Ferrari, used the pink primer, could not believe the rich color, and I just ordered the Hasegawa foil, looks superb, took notes (as always) my GTO will be next, as always great work, thanks again
Thanks buddy. The pink primer makes a huge difference

Looking good as always Paul 👍👍

Looks GREAT Paul ............... 👍👍👍
Sensational work mate
Thank you mate :)
Beautiful work so far Paul
Looks great Paul, that metal foil from Hasegawa does look quite good.
Very nice paint job Paul... The only regret I have was starting the fujimi 1/24 shelby corbra I broke the manifold should have just left the kit in the stash.
Looking good 👍 that Hasegawa foil looks impressive as well. Biggest regret was not buying a 1/12 Ferrari Enzo when they were still in production.
Mine when I restarted modelling during covid, I did a tamiya 1/24 Nissan xaniva gtr in a custom paint job and it looked awful and now I’m trying to get one to do properly there like 65 quid

That red looks great. I’ve been looking for those exhaust tips and cant find them. I’ll have to wait until they’re released again.

That chrome work looks great! wish I'd started with Tamiya XP paints vs Vallejo, I would of saved myself years of frustrations
That foil looks awesome but they’re hard to find here in Canada, I agree with you bare metal foil is a crap. Good job with that GTO.
Amazing work!
Just wondering, how long do you wait between coats when using gravity color paints?

Airbrush is an ultimate apex compressor a sparmax 610. I only use gravity Spain 2k

Can you put some pics up on ism
@@InternationalScaleModeller sure I'll give it a go.

They were bought for me as a gift. But the likes of hiroboy spotmodel etc may have it

I would say don’t worry about it like I don’t and just enjoy the hobby
thx for your detailed paint guide. what an eye candy result
but what do you do about the unpainted area inside of the hoo..bonnet?
Paint it afterwards
@@InternationalScaleModeller
ok. i can't remember you ever mentioned or showed that. airbrush again or just brush?
@@uludak8468 I’ve not done it yet it’ll have to wait near the end
Looks great will have to give the Hasegawa Chrome another go. Regret starting that Tyrrell 003 when I did 😠
Very nice Lovely Boy. No regrets just a lot of lessons learnt.
Had a chance to get the Tamiya Aston Martin DBS. absolutely can't afford it now. 350 GTO is lookin good.
That's looking stunning so far, great job. Do you have the Fujimi Ferrari 330 P4 in the stash? They would look good together. As others have said, I now regret investing in acrylic rather than lacquer paints but it's all a learning curve. Cheers!
Looking good Paul......Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
hi, can you tell me the code and brand of the color you used? thanks and congratulations
Gravity ferrari rosso red
Have you ever air brushed using nail polish colors ?
I’ve not no not yet
I'm Japanese. I love tamiya and fujimi's plasticmodel carc.👍
Rounding a tooth pick is a good idea for the BMF.
I did not see the lick for the BMF
That’s because there isn’t one it’s not easy to find ;)
What metal foil do you use for the chromed parts? I've got Bare Metal Foil but you say it's crap...
I tell you at 12mins in hasegawa mirror film.
@@InternationalScaleModeller many thanks indeed
Is the metal foil a new product from AK interactive?
No it’s hasegawa mirror chrome I should say in the video
Do you not see a noticeable seam where the foil on the side of the window meets the top?
The Honda NSR 500 factory color, not because of the bike but because the decals were awfull and i ruined the fairings. Then i made a red and white livery but still not happy with that.

@@InternationalScaleModeller hmm... k.. we all have our favorites i guess. Mine, is BMF.
So was mine buddy :(
What desk lamp are you using?
It’s linked in the description of my video along with all the other products
May I ask, you used pink primer under this vivid red do you notice real benefits from this practice and what are they.
Kind regards Dave Porter london
Hi Dave yes the red covers a lot faster using less paint and imo is a lot more vibrant too. It also works similar with yellow primer. Well worth trying
Just a comment for the algorithm
