First time peeking in on your page and the tube glue was a trip to see. I guess that technically it is still a thing. It has not occured to me to buy some and use it in many a moon. Truly old school model building here. I dig it.
Thanks for giving my channel a look! Using tube glue is how I roll. :) You can call it old school but I go with what I feel comfortable with. I have been working with tube glue for the entire time that I have been building and find that it works quite well. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
Very Nice Build up You're Quick. I've Cut Open Front Suspension to mild Modify n add Springs Uppers Control arms Shocks n Spindles for Steerable front end
Thank you! I had just enough parts in that box to complete the build. Not to pat myself on the back or anything but it really did turn out better than I had expected. Thanks for watching!
I didn't like the skinny kit tires. Although, the tires I chose from the parts box were a little to big for it they do go together well. Overall, I think it went together nicely. I don't remember if there were any major problems with fit and finish.
The only thing that I noticed about this kit was the skinny tires that it came with. I realize that the 1:1 car, straight from the factory had the "skinny" tires sot that is what AMT was licensed to produce. The tires that I put on it were a bit to large but the effect turned out to be pretty good. Thanks for watching.
Yes, I do almost exclusively. There are a few exceptions to this though. For instance, all of my Coca-Cola sponsored kit builds I use Krylon Red Pepper as the base color but I apply a coat of Folk Art Dragonfly Glaze over the top of it to give it a kick. I most always use rattle can primer as well. When I am airbrushing acrylics I have used a few different "thinners" over the years. I have used ModelMaster Acrylic Paint Thinner (a little on the expensive side), Delta Ceramcoat acrylic thinner (no longer available) and plain old Distilled water. I haven't experienced any prolonged drying times with the use of any of the products that I have just mentioned. I haven't tried windshield washer fluid but some guys swear by it. I usually let the acrylic painted bodies sit at least overnight before handling them and a minimum of 24 hours before I clear coat them. I don't really measure my ratios per se but if I did it would be close to 60/40 depending on the acrylic paint. Some are thick and others are thin right out of the bottle and I adjust the amount of thinning medium accordingly based on that. So my best advice is to slowly add whatever medium your using to thin with until the mixture has the consistency of milk. Then mix well and let it stand for a minute or two before spraying.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench Thank you for the advice. I had limited success using a mix of craft paint and future floor polish. One time it worked well (67 GTO model) and another time not so well (70 Camaro) I will try your mix as I have the current version of the AMT 63 Corvette Stingray. Planning on using Silver Deco Art paint.
Almost all of my builds are done with acrylics. I really like Folk Art colorshift paints. On this particular build I used Krylon Red Pepper with a coating of Folk Art Dragonfly Glaze over the top of it. I have had some compatibility issues from time to time though.
I went with the tri-power 327 that was patched together from the available parts. Yours sounds like it will turn out great! I wanted a challenge so, I built this totally without the instruction sheet. I knew that I could find the instruction sheet if I looked for it but sometimes it's nice to wing it just to see what you can come up with. Thanks for the advice!
You may be correct. I assembled this "junkyard" kit as is with the parts in the box with the exception of the tires. I took what I had and made it work. It still turned out pretty great considering what I had to work with. Thanks for watching.
The Vette turned out really nice!!!!
Thank You!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench 🙂👍
Very nice thank You for the video

Thank You! Always a joy to share my builds. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
This turned out great! I’ve been binge watching your videos over the past week. I think I’m caught up on everything. I look forward to your next one.
Awesome! Thank you! The next video will be January 7th, 2023. Thanks for watching!
Very nice work and informative as well.
Glad you liked it!

The model looks great. Love the color choice. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! If you look closely you'll get an idea where that color came from.
Very nice
Thank You!
I have this kit on the bench now. Not very impressive by some modern standards. Nice to see that it builds up well when you put in the effort.
I didn't like the skinny kit tires. Although, the tires I chose from the parts box were a little to big for it they do go together well. Overall, I think it went together nicely. I don't remember if there were any major problems with fit and finish.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench I ditched the flimsy stock tires as well. Replaced them with standard AMT whitewalls. Should look a lot better.
@@TI4438 I believe that you're on the right track with those. Even Red line tires would go well with it. Good luck on your build!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench I'll keep everybody updated on the build.
@@TI4438 Sounds good!
Well Done!!
Thank You!
Not the best kit, but its a great kit for parts. There are good points to this kit, with a lot of patience it builds up presentable.

Do you use acrylic paints? If so what do you mix it with to use it through the airbrush? Great build, and nice video quality!

I've been working with acrylics and getting good results.. do you use acrylics?

Round 2s website will Have the Instruction Set for this Kits recent Reissue. I'm Building Mine with 327 Tri-power as "Dead Man's Curve" Corvette

I believe those cylinder heads are for what that kit calls a 454 the exhaust is definitely not small block Chev
