Its the little things that really add up . wonderful job
Thank you John, I appreciate your support 👍
All excellent ideas to bring that Roadrunner to exhibit a lot more realistic appearance thank you for all you do and sharing your ideas with the community. By the way I am still impressed over your paint job on that forty Ford coupe you did a while back awesome and thank you again for the tips and tricks.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Roger. I need to get back soon to that Roadrunner build. The 40 is one of my favorites too👍
Nice tutorial James. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦
Thanks Peter! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. I appreciate the support👍
Excellent ideas of how to approach this build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Michael, I really appreciate your support 👍
Good stuff James….looks like you have a great build going
Thanks so much Terry👍. I just keep finding stuff to modify… luckily I committed myself to box stock. As Kevin said putty is my buddy.
This is awesome tips and what you look for. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend Sir. 👊👊👍👊
Thanks so much Nemo. I wanted to share how I look at model cars and my theory of building a contest car.
Great advice , James. Thanks!
Thanks so much Lazy Eyed, I appreciate the support 👍
Great stuff James. Thanks again for these tips, they will help!
Thanks for those tips James!! Will definitely help with the other 7 Superbird’s I’m planning on building and a Roadrunner or two.. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Marty, if I wasn’t committed to box stock I’d change quite a few things and substitute rod for any round piece. Anyways… I appreciate you watching and commenting. I miss you guys.
working on this kit now. I just painted the body today, wish I watched this first, thanks for the tip! I can at least fix the interior issues.
And the chassis issues… thanks for watching, I hope you’re satisfied with your finished model.
Great tips James!!! Once I get mine I'll start building looking forward to seeing how you build yours. I am going a little more off-road with mine.
Thanks for watching Cliff, I appreciate your support. I’m intrigued to see an off-road runner.👍
Great tips James!!!! I've thought of cutting the exhaust off as well. Haven't looked at the master cylinder yet. You can also open up your door handles. Thanks for sharing
That’s a good tip Mike, I’ll take a look and see if I can get a tiny drill bit in there a few times to open up those handles.
Many thanks for the tips 👍 a lot of work to do, but should be well worth it in the end!
Thanks so much Scale speed works! Yes I do most of my work before primer. Then the paint work goes quickly then it’s time for final assembly.
That's a lot of filling. Haha. Here here here here here... Wow. I know injection molding gives depressions on thicker pieces but that is a lot. This is looking quite good. Can't wait to see the next step.
Thanks Spencer, this is what happens when you want to stand out in a crowd. I’m glad I committed to box stock or this would get out of control quickly. Lol. Take care bud, I look forward to your Z car build.
All good tips to use on pretty much any build,one thing i like about the interior it can be swapped out and used on the 70'Plymouth Superbird as well.Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for watching and commenting Curtis, I appreciate your support. If I find a Superbird kit for cheap I may grab one.👍
Nice tips, James. Thanks.
Thanks bud! I appreciate you watching 👍
very interesting video James … thanks for posting it
Thanks Sean, I appreciate the support 👍
Sooooo putty is your buddy! I always liked to shave the back of the grille to open it up, if it’s engraved deep enough! Couldn’t see if this was the case with this one! My 69 Camaro looked cool doing this ! Some you can some you can’t ! great video as always ! 🤔😝🫡🇺🇸
I considered it Kevin but the grille is way too shallow to do that trick. I appreciate your support bud👍
Great tips James!
Thanks Shawn! I appreciate you brother👍
Great tips! Could be used on any build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alan, I really appreciate your support 👍
Have a good build.
Thanks so much Go! I appreciate the support 👍
Awesome video and update on the video. I will likely steal/use these for my kit....if or when I get one lol. Great work!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting SoDak! I appreciate your support 👍
Cool video the car looks amazing
Thanks so much Travis! I am glad that you enjoyed the video.
Your build will be awesome nice.
Thank you so much Sindre! I appreciate your support👍
You're awesome! 🛠👀✌️🏁
Get outta here OG! 😁
Thanks for this video! This is one of my favorite 1:1 muscle cars! There are two things that bother me about the design of this kit (I wouldn't care if they weren't so obvious): The battery that appears to be sitting on top of an elevator shaft and the coolant overflow tank. I may be wrong, but I don't think the 1970 Plymouths had a coolant overflow tank. I own some excellent reference books and the pictures do not show one. I'm sure these errors are not important enough to warrant major surgery, but they're worth nailing down.
You’re so right about both Mark. Since I decided that I was building the kit box stock I had to work with what was there. I cut a divide line under both to make it appear that they weee separate pieces. Thanks for watching👍
Attention to small details....that's what makes the final product (model building or otherwise) stand out.
Thanks Johnny, I appreciate the support👍
Besides you doing this car for the youtube build off, I happen to have this model yet unbuilt and the tips you have given in this video would be very helpful to me. Thanks for this video and I look forward to the future ones covering this car and I'm sure its gonna turn out a 🏆 winner👍
Thanks Ray, if I hadn’t committed myself to box stock with this build I would have done a few more things. It’ll be a nice shelf model but I don’t know about a 🏆 car😁
I'm really excited to see what you and everyone else does with these kit; it's going to be awesome!💪🤠👍
I am excited as well to see everyone’s builds. I appreciate your support 👍
@@ScaleModelExperiment what do you use to fill in low areas.can you show how you put it on and sand it.
@@iancameron198 hi Ian, I used an old trick to brush on liquid primer to fill the low areas and the. Sanded it smooth.
Thanks for the tips. I have this on my workbench currently. I couldn't live with the engine compartment, so I cut it out and I'm attempting to graft the compartment from the 69 Superbee. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than this one. Looking forward to seeing how yours comes together.
Thanks for watching Rob. To keep myself from going nuts on this one (too late) I’m not adding to this kit just cutting and putty work to make it better. I would love to kitbash this kit with something else but knowing me it would snowball into a much bigger project. Take care and good luck with your project.
@@ScaleModelExperiment Thanks, likewise.
Great tips James. I'd like to add one major tip: the space between the front bumper and grille make the front end awkward looking and inaccurate. To fix this, drill two holes just above the existing holes in the bumper locator tabs and now you have a more accurate bumper to grille space. This makes a big difference in the appearance. While you're at it, slightly taper the front fender bottom forward of the wheels upward to meet the bumper's bottom edge.
Wow, thank you Bob! I’ll make those changes. I appreciate your help 👍
Maybe if Revell heeded tip 10 they would produce a better kit.
I don’t fault them, it was an older tool. Now brand new tools, I’ll definitely point out shortcomings in them. Thanks for watching 👍
People at cars shows always look at me funny when I'm down low taking photos or shooting the mirrors under some show cars.
Thanks Wikd! Since I’m not wiring and plumbing my engine I have to make the chassis look amazing instead. Box stockish is making me get creative.
Great channel, I just subscribed! These tips really help in achieving the best as can happen with a model kit and its design limitations. All that extra effort will really pay off once you get it all built and painted. This will be fun to watch!
Thanks for watching and subscribing Neil. I appreciate your support👍

Thanks Ronny! 👍
