    Heh I had this set in the 90s :D
    I made a weird custom thing, that had the rear panel of a Hemi Cuda as a front spoiler, and I painted it black with white stripes and fitted LED lights from a christmas decoration I made at school.
    I always messed up the paintwork on every car model I did as a kid, only recently when I returned to modelling I´ve learned to use spray paints for scale models, which gave a very good result.

    The Revellogram decals left a lot to be desired. Kit still looks good after 40-plus years.

    What amazes me, you did all of that without breaking the steering column off, I would’ve accidentally broken that off for sure.

    • @ScaledDownCustoms
      @ScaledDownCustoms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually did break off the rod that extends past the steering column, glued it back on and then broke it off again and lost it so I will need to cut and glue on some small styrene rod.

    Technically speaking the cement doesn't "melt" plastic, it temporarily dissolves it at the joint. Then when the solvents in the cement evaporate, the parts are fused together. Melting requires heat.

    You're a true pro, you don't complain about the kit the mold lines, ejector pins etc, like some of the other modelers on TH-cam, you build. But I do have a question about your paint process, I see you go on pretty heavy on the first coat. Are you relying on the 2K to possibly cure any problems? Thanks for the good videos.

    • @ScaledDownCustoms
      @ScaledDownCustoms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I do go heavy on my first coat, most times too heavy. I probably should mention that I generally apply three coats at a minimum but I don't show that in the video as there is no difference on camera. I do make sure my paint is smooth and in good order prior to clear coating.

    • @ScaledDownCustoms
      @ScaledDownCustoms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most of the paints I used for the body are Gravity Colors USA. I find that almost any paint I apply with an airbrush gives me a great finish. Some guys are skilled with "rattle can" paint and can make it look good. I am not one of those guys so I airbrush my paint.

    If you don’t mind I have a couple of questions. First one, where did you get your 5000 Tamiya sanding sponge? And the other one, what grit of stick are you using to block sand with? Thank you for your time.

    • @ScaledDownCustoms
      @ScaledDownCustoms  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I get almost all my supplies from MRS Hobby Store www.mrshobby.com/ to include my Tamiya sanding sponges. The thin sanding sticks are just hobby sanding sticks, again from MRS. I do not know the grit level. The larger blue sanding sticks are emery boards for fingernails. Again I do not know the grit level on those.
