Check out all the cool new kits and tools we'll be reviewing on hpiguys Workshop.
See you at the bench!
A scale model is most generally a physical representation of an object that maintains accurate relationships between all important aspects of the model, although absolute values of the original properties need not be preserved. This enables it to demonstrate some behavior or property of the original object without examining the original object itself. The most familiar scale models represent the physical appearance of an object in miniature, but there are many other kinds.
Scale models are used in many fields including engineering, architecture, film making, military command, salesmanship, and hobby model building. While each field may use a scale model for a different purpose, all scale models are based on the same principles and must meet the same general requirements to be functional. The detail requirements vary depending on the needs of the modeler.
To be a true scale model, all relevant aspects must be accurately modeled, such as material properties, so the model's interaction with the outside world is reliably related to the original object's interaction with the real world.
Revell is a manufacturer of plastic scale models. The original American Revell merged with Monogram. In 2007, American Revell was purchased by Hobbico while the European Revell Germany separated from the American company in 2006 until Hobbico purchased it as well - bringing the two back together again under the same company umbrella. In 2017, Quantum Capital Partners took over operations of Revell after Hobbico declared bankruptcy.
Aluminum Model Toys, commonly abbreviated as AMT, was a Troy, Michigan-based company that manufactured various pre-assembled plastic promotional models starting in 1948, when attorney West Gallogly, Sr. started it as a side business. Later, a variety of kits became very popular. Most of the company's vehicle products were American cars and trucks in 1:25 scale. In the 1970s, hot rods, customs, trucks and movie and TV vehicles were also produced.
Because Gallogly had solid connections with Ford Motor Company, he was able to place his first models exclusively in Ford dealerships, starting a long promotional relationship (Cawthon 2002). Gallogly's first model was a 1947-1948 Ford Fordor sedan made of cast aluminum and painted with official Ford paint (Cawthon 2002). After issuing successful Ford sedan models, the company set up shop on Eight Mile Road outside Detroit (Chrysler 2008).
In 1949, injection plastic molding became available. After the first Ford aluminum promotional model was offered (Doty 2008, 89), aluminum was abandoned. Different colors of plastic could now be used, so the company name was quietly changed to AMT, which deemphasized the word "aluminum" (Cawthon 2002). For example, AMT's 1949 and 1950 Ford and Plymouth sedans were its first plastic models, along with the 1950 Studebaker coupe. These promos often had wind-up motors which could not be seen through the shiny silver-tinted windows. They had metal chassis and diecast metal chrome-plated bumpers, which were later replaced with chrome-plated plastic. Often, official factory paint colors were applied to the models. The company's first commercial products were pre-assembled plastic promotional models, which were only available through automobile dealerships,
In the early 1950s day-to-day operations of the company were turned over to George Toteff so that Gallogly could better attend to his law firm (Cawthon 2002). Model design was kept in-house, but molding was outsourced. Continental Plastics in Fraser, Michigan, was one of the companies contracted to mold AMT's models (Cawthon 2002).
Model Products Corporation, usually known by its acronym, MPC, was an American manufacturer of plastic scale model kits and pre-assembled promotional models popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Traditionally a Michigan company, since 2011 the MPC name has been part of Round 2 LLC of South Bend, Indiana. MPC's main competition was Aluminum Model Toys (AMT) and Jo-Han Models.

I will be living vicariously through your new build videos for the next 6-7 months, dialysis is ridiculously expensive But the sun is shining, I'm still breathing, and new models are out soo build on brother, Can't wait.... Thank you very much again for the fantastic and positive videos you put out, can't tell you how much it's appreciated. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy. Remember to SMILE it's a hobby and it's SUPPOSE TO BE FUN
I truly hope you get well. In my country (Portugal) we have universal healthcare and dialysis is free for the patient. I never understand why the richest country in the world doesn’t take care of all the citizens.
@@dplouro Thank you very much, yeah that is 1 of the things I really really dislike about the US is that we don't have universal health care and money is put way ahead of its citizens health.
@@teddyjones8027 All the best. 🙏🏻
@@dplouro Keep yourself and love ones safe and healthy.
Sorry to hear of the tough times, and hope the videos help you pass the time. Thanks for the nice words!
So I have a question. What happens to every model you build on the videos. Do you keep them or do they get sent to fans. What happens to them
He said that he stores them, because he has so many builds.
He said he keeps some and gives the rest to friends and family.
That would be cool if he did some giveaways to the subscribers
@@brianlewis6926 that would kind of be a pain trying to box them up and get them sent without damaging. And yes I know it can be done but he probably doesn't want to take the time to become a professional shipper.
"Two Dollars" just pay the kid...
love the Better Off Dead reference.
for some reason I thought it was 4 dollars that john cusack own the paper boy .
I built that '58 Chevy back in about 1967. It was molded in blue, which I liked because I wasn't painting my models yet. It was complicated for me and the limit of my skills.
Wow awesome kits all look so cool
So I was having a really crappy day sitting doing dialysis and just feeling down and to my surprise a BRAND NEW MODEL REVIEW FROM HPIGUYS !!!!!!!!!! INSTANTLY put a smile on my face 😄 😊 and brighten my entire day. Can't tell you how much I appreciate and thoroughly enjoy all of your reviews and builds. You absolutely KILLED IT with this video of upcoming reviews and builds and can't wait. I'm giving all of the model companies and affiliates a standing ovation for the amount of money, time, and work of continuing to put out new and reissue kits, A GIANT THANK YOU.... Ukraine stand tall, stay united,stay strong, and God Bless
Hang in there 💪.
Great comment.🏅
@@joeshmoe9978 absolutely Thank you
@@teddyjones8027
Stay strong my friend! 💪🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻
@@Duececoupe for sure Thank you
I am building the 1/16 1979 Firebird right now😁
Fantastic kit comes with three birds, gold, blue, and red, so color choices are unlimited. Very nice kit good detail. Highly recomended. You will enjoy it imensely😎😎
Thank you for doing all the kits review. I been waiting on the Kyle Larson kit. I see there are some kits I am going have to get. Have a great weekend
Great video my friend...WOW the stash adds is amazing! Cant wait to watch your videos on these.
Glad you like them!
I built the PT 109 kit as a kid. I would love to build it again.
That toyota hilux looks ultra cool 😎
Looks real sweet!
Wow, so many great kit releases! I've built the 1/48 scale Curtiss JN-4, and for being an old kit, it builds easily and looks very authentic. Your personal kit haul had a lot of interesting subjects in it 👍.
Everyone should buy an ICM kit, to show support for Ukraine.
🇺🇦💪👑
🇷🇺(Putin aka:Vladolf Putler)🤢🤮💩
Well said brother! SlavaUkraine!(and thanks Chris for bearing the torch... And the great reviews!)
"Sorry Ricky, I haven't got a dime."
You are the man looks like ur gona be busy
Cool stuff
Whats the link for the MAD engine, every one I can find is like $125 +
Wow so many new kits, how am I ever going to get my stash down ha ha.
Chris+ you can do a video on the different in 1/25 and 1/24 scales in models
Really nice stuff. Hopefully, I'm wrong about the F&F car, but normally, this type of company starts doing what they do, saying they have issues with something and the delivery is slowed down, then at one point they just stop sending stuff altogether and your model is never finished. As I said, I hope I'm wrong on that.
REALLY love the RC model kits. I'd do the Army VW as a post apoc/Mad Max vehicle personally.
The Amoeba kit is super weird but super cool.
Dunno if the Troublemaker truck is a real drag truck, but I guess it must be harder to get in it than in other dragster since it open in the opposite direction. Wondering if that '57 Chevy is the Ed Roth's model that Monogram/Revell did. I had a friend that was an experienced modeler who called it the unbuildable kit. And that guy's attitude on model kit building was similar to yours.
That Batmobile seems to be the Revell one that they did in '95! Built it back in the days, but I had to part it as it got damaged with time and wasn't really fixable. I will try to get it (but so much kits, so little money!)! That Marauder seems to also be really cool and again, money chimes to tell me I don't have much of it! lol Really wants the Dodge truck too! Styrene is a such a harsh mistress! lol
@25:12 The Jungle Jim Funny Car. Can't wait for your review of this kit. I did purchase it and so far my only concern is the "fit" of the wheels and tires. The rears are extremely tight and the fronts are too loose. Want to see your remedy. Thanks for your videos!!
The rears: Try heating the tires in hot tap-water so they stretch, then mount the wheels. If the fronts actually touch the rims, wash the tires in warm soapy water then super-glue them to the rim. You don't want cut the tire to shorten it unless nothing else works.
Shame that kit doesn't come with a figure of Jungle Pam. 😀
That engine model is not 25 dollars more like 125 dollars
Always enjoy the new kits reviews. I can anxiously wait to see which ones you will build.
I wish they would re release the Banana Splits kit where the characters are driving the 6 wheel buggies. I would buy a kit for each character
More fun than wandering through a packed model store on a Saturday. Totally nice. See the kits that are "just right" while leaving the crowd locked outside. My Saturday was well spent - Thanks, Chris AND the delivery folks.
BTW - after one of these "show off" videos, I imagine you're reduced to a cot in your kitchen because the rest of the house is packed to overflowing with built models and kits.
Some very exciting kits coming to us is the very new future. I love your preview videos. They make want to get out my debit card out and start ordering. Great video and thanks for sharing.
That "deuce-and-a-half" you mentioned is actually an "ace-and-a-half" (1.5 tons) as it only has one rear axle -- and it's long overdue, too.
My wallet just fainted, Atlantis Jungle Jim, that '57 Chevy, AMT's Ramcharger Challenger, '58 Impala, '62 Corvette....😳😲🥴🤯
I built that Caprice and trailer back in '76. DIsplayed it with my Walt Maas Datsun 240Z C-Production car on the trailer. "It (like all my models and modeling stuff) went away when I went off to college in '81 :(
I got the salvinos Jr kits and they are incredible!
I also got the tamiya Mercedes Benz 300sl kit and the McLaren Senna kit . Incredible kits!! You should git you a Mercedes 300sl with those full wing doors. All these kits are DELICIOUS!
That Tamiya Toyota Supra you have there, it’s going to be a fun & easy build. I painted mine black. I’m wanting to get both the 1/16 & 1/8 Firebird kits and convert both of them to ‘77/‘78 Firebirds. I might get that Atlantis ship convoy, if that aircraft carrier has fighter jets with it.
I was shocked when I received my AMP X-20 Dyna-Soar kit from the Ukraine….it was way late, and I understood why…figured they must have gotten it shipped out between shellings….that dedicated.
Love the channel! I'm going to put my first NASCAR model together and I have a questions. Do you know of a company that sells engine wiring and the windshield wiper NASCAR uses? Thanks!
lol@do her up ....lol...you naughty naughty man...lol...jkjk
That was pretty funny.
"Everything except this dude's hand is in the box"... that's actually great idea for diorama, thanks. Now, where the hell I'll find the hand... ;)
Two things Chris first as someone who is the same age as you I am upset at you for having better eyesight then me 🤣🤣🤣. Second Ricky is sneaky. Remember language lessons. 🤣🤣🤣 I love that movie
I had a 1980 Toyota pickup 4x4. It was the last year they came out with the front straight differential. And standard transfer csse.
Glad to see the Area 51/ Bob Lazar UFO reissued!
The ships kit would be fun. I live just outside of Waterloo, IA.. from where the Sullivant Brothers are from.
good lineup 👍
So many kits from round 2 I wanna get hmm I have built 2 d50s one box stock and the other a 440 powered gasser a had a 4x4 one but it was junk
I have 100 kits,air plans,tanks ,cars ,might have to sell them,health isn't doing great,might loose job,what do I do,what to sell
Welp. I need that D50. Grew up with those tan little pick ups everywhere!
Yep
Make sure you play Howard Jones while building your Camaro ur gonna race against the Asian Howard Cosell lol
2 dollars lol
Better off Dead was a great movie, just as good as these kits and such you have in this video Chris .
$2 ...nice reference to the movie "Better Off Dead" keep having fun building!
i made the 1/16 scale fire bird. love it.. that 1/8 scale would be amazing!!
sensory overload Chris. I will have to watch video again so it can all soak in.
@17:22, Johnny Gasparini: I want my two dollars.
Sorry Ricky I don’t have a dime.
Ricky: I didn’t ask for a dime…
欲しいモンばっかだぁねｗ
まぁ、あれだ、今までなんとか生きてて良かったぁね☆
So many kits I'd like to build here, so little time..... I guess collecting them ain't such a bad idea, and there's always "retirement." Your enthusiasm Chris is something that motivates me quite a bit I hafta say. Not to mention that I've learned a lot from you. I'm tempted to get the Atlantis Curtis Jenny because my grandfather and his brothers actually built a real one and flew it, Oneonta, NY. The prop is still a cherished item within the fam and it would be a good thing to commemorate my family's history. Very helpful review.
Thanks AC!
It would be interesting to kitbash the MPC 1/16th scale Firebird kit with the previously reissued AMT 1/25th scale Big Rig Turbine Engine. It should just about fit with a bit of fiddling; though the opening in the hood will need to be filled. Also, the 1/2500th scale USS Enterprise kit that comes with the 1/48th scale AMT F-104 Starfighter (from the "Tomorrow is Yesterday" set) would look pretty cool if displayed with the (1,000,000/1 scale?) Atlantis Amoeba to replicate the "space amoeba" scene from the TOS "Trek" episode, "The Immunity Syndrome." (The Enterprise may even be remarked as the unfortunate USS Intrepid.)
Thanks for posting this!
Interesting ideas 👍
I just finished this 1/16 MPC Firebird. I had some major fit issues with the hood, doors, front and rear bumpers. I had to make a lot of adjustments. But, it still turned out nice.
CEWL ass kits brother man! Hell yeah!!
I like that you make all kinds of kits. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Can you link to those $25 dollar MAD v 8 engines, I'm not finding any at that price lol
I simply misspoke. Looks like retail is one hundred twenty five, not twenty five.
I will be interested in the 57 chevy as Hobby Lobby still sells one plus I have a couple of older Monogram versions.
QCS is great. I’ve stripped everything with it.
Where do you buy this stuff? I’ve done a search and can’t find this exact bottle. Was there different packaging at one time? Thanks

You have to build that giant UFO on video.
"Four weeks. Twenty papers. That's two dollars, plus tip. . . . . Didn't ask for a dime. Two dollars. CASH!"
*for the record, Lane Myers was the person who did not pay the paperboy. Ricky was across the street learning the international language with Monique. "You know . . . . love."
Thank you for your awesome vids . I like the 76 caprice . It will make a nice low rider .
Glad you like them!
Loving the drag racing stuff ✌😎
The Jungle Jim Funny needs a Jungle Pam figurine...
for sweet "back-up girl" & funny car diorama 😉💖
So happy to hear about an 1/8 scale kit from Revell. I have an unbuilt 1/8 scale IROC Camaro that I'm just dying to start and now it will hopefully have a Firebird friend to take up space on my shelf. Can't wait to hear more about this kits release. Great video by the way.
Hi Chris. Do you know if there will be a model of the new C8 corvette coming out this year?
I would like to give my opinion of the 1/16th scale 79 Firebird as a 40 year model builder....I am finishing one up now and it is awful....the doors didn't fit without major modifications and do not open as they should....the hood scoop sits back about a 1/2" too far on the carb, there for didn't line up with the opening in the hood (which is a very poor fit)...had to glue it off center on the carb....the instructions have you glue the front spindles on upside down, now the front end sits higher than the back...so anyone building the kit.....glue the spindles on the opposite way the instructions say and it should look good...on a good note, the engine bay is really nice and detailed along with the chassis and the body fit is good along with the front and rear "bumpers". Also, the interior is really nice and everything there fit as it should....I would give the kit a 5 out of 10.
Please do that Vette as the green gasser on the box 📦 🙏 😀
Great haul there, Chris. Nice video presentation too. I am an equal opportunity modeler. Buy and build kits from Ukraine as well as Russia.
I truly enjoy your videos and I am looking forward to your build of the ‘57 Bel Air. I am working on one now. I built that model as a Revell kit In the 1970s.
It's a GREAT time to be a modeler!!! 👍🙂
It sure is!
@@hpiguy 👍👍👍
Yo sponsors get him that “big sonbi** kit” 🤣
Hi Chris, Do you know if any drag racing model kits are going to be released this year. I was channel surfing and noticed that model king/mobieus is releasing some nhra pro stocks of billy the kid dodge demon, bill bagwell plymouth duster and dodge demon among others. Do you have any idea of a release dates? Thanks
Didn't ask for a dime.
Two. Dollars.
Thats a lot of cool stuff right there.
Looks like a lot of work. 😉 Would love to see a Build of the Tamiya Supra A80. Looking forward to build my Kit of it.
Hi Chris, soon as I saw the PT 109 was being re-released. Thought highly likely you would do a build on it. Looking forward to seeing it.
Wow, that’s a lot of kits. Glad to see we can get kits still from the Ukraine. I ordered one about a month ago, in a day it was shipped, don’t know if it’s gotten out of the Ukraine though. Thanks for sharing Chris! Happy days and model on! 😎
Great vid Chris, but the ring light gotta go.
I think the Escalade came out as a snap version
I think alot of these companies that make the cool 1/35 scale cars and trucks should also release them in 1/24 or 1/25 scale. They would sell like crazy!
Haha " TWO DOLLARS CASH"!!😂🤣😂
When is the 76 Caprice going to be in stores
"better off dead" is one of my fav movies!!
What scale places you watch that have sales?
It's great to see such a large range of new ore re-released kits coming out. Something for everyone.
I had the Troublemaker in '71 or '72. Monogram put it out it was molded in red and had blue/white decals. I'll get son of but I may do different decals. A year or two later I also had a '57 Chevy by Revell that had opening doors hood and trunk, was molded in hot pink and had decals that I think went on the back side windows and said Strawberry Fields so I'll have to get that again too different color this time though. Love the single axle version of the WW2 2 1/2 ton truck. I wish the US Mail truck came out before the Hostess truck. Oh well.
Yes, Troublemaker is a fun kit to build Kenny, I thought about doing different decals on the new one too.
Looking forward to more of your builds! That Caprice should be a very nice one!
You and me both!
Great new stuff to look forward to on the channel! Everyone has to has a model amoeba ! Love the 58’ one of my all time favorite models, we had a silver blue impala ss when I was growing up. Thanks Chris!!!
Thanks for the new reviews!!
Man looking forward to seeing what kits you build from these massive haul that's what's up
where can the Caprice be bought
Some very cool kits coming out can’t wait to get my hands on them thank you for showing us 👍🇦🇺
Love all the new kits that are available, slight issue is that I live in the U.K. and can't always get them, do you know the website for the RCHOBBY stuff as I would love to get my hands on one of the vw beetle wartime versions.
Thanks
Phil
They sell these through Amazon, so if they will ship to the UK, you are set.
A lot of cool kits thanks!
I want my two dollars!!!!!
I WANT MY 2 DOLLERS
Lots of cool stuff. Thanks for sharing Chris
Awesome video. Can't wait for the D50 and the escalade
I want my 2 dollars
As I recall - - that A & N kit was the same company that you reviewed a couple months ago with the cab-over semi tractor that had the separate frame.
Yes the Freightliner Argosy and he also did a video on their Dodge Power Wagon kit.
Hey are you using the Rustoleum 2x paint + primer?
When you watch the build videos, I show the exact brand/version of cans of spray paint I use in every single build video.
8 full build videos every month. Enjoy!
@@hpiguy thank you for all the dedication it helps a ton!
