i am currently building the kyle petty #42 1981 regal monogram kit at the moment. i have been building models for 30+ years. i am using some of the technics i have learned from hpiguy videos. it is never to late to learn something new.
I watch most of your videos, I like your technique. All the different models come out great . I used to build, but now my eyes are too bad. The music is definitely a bonus. 👍👍
Just WOW........ I really love when you do these stock car builds, I been passing the same make and model car for sale, totally stock and cherry looking and here's it's as a racer. Thanks for a great build!
Being from the UK, I don't know the history of these cars and drivers, but they look fantastic - low and mean looking. Great build as usual, and the finished car looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
It’s so nice to actually see that chrome “horn” on the front of the car, aka bumper. This is a “stock” car vs today’s cookie cutter cars. I miss the individual manufacturers look to their cars. Great build as always.
I have only known cookie cutter racing, but have heard about how tuning and aerodynamics accomplished by a specific team really made all of the difference. NASCAR was a full team effort. Now, theoretically, every car is exactly the same. Boring!
@@charlesrichardson4032 I grew up in Jersey, and we had Wall Twp and Englishtown tracks. One for 1/4 mile and one oval. Never even heard of NASCAR until I joined the Navy in 1992. I hate to admit this but I used to watch in 95-97 and rooted for Jeff Gordon. I know, don't lynch me. The older races are a lot more fun to watch. I'll have to check out the Napa race. Thanks man!
@@bobastu nothing wrong with rooting for 24 lol ... I wish Jeff still raced or I'd gladly watch more races ... Im currently working on his 97 Jurrasic Park car and have another one and would like to do his chromallusion car from the winston all star race in 98 , I cant find a good paint match though ?
When I saw the photo of the car on your video upload I thought it was the real car until I saw it was a new build by you. Awesome work. I was a big Petty fan back in his racing days and built all of his cars from the 70's and 80's. I actually got to meet him and talk and get his autograph and picture with him a few years back at Chicagoland Speedway. This 60 year old was like a little kid. He is a class act and I don't see anyone ever getting close to 200 wins.
I just love your work. Love the Nascar models you do.I am going to the hobby store next week and pick this one up. you are an inspiration to me. Keep up the good work.
Such a great looking stock car... Back when NASCAR still ran stock bodies. I always loved the G body in NASCAR trim.... Good job, keep up the good work!
Hello Chris, several years ago I built the Petty car and I found that Model Master French Blue was a close match to Petty Blue. Came out pretty good. You did a really good build, hpiguy quality!
Nice model.. not bad for such old molds... Model Roundup are posting on FB a '66 Impala SS 396 that I love... and I'd love to see you build it :) Thanks for another cool video!
What can I say.... like usual great job! It help when you start with a great kit. Just follow the instructions and tips you and all the other great modelers mentor out here. Kits like theses are only going to inspire the new comers and beginner to keep build.....
Humidity? I have heard of such weather conditions. Move to Vegas,Chris 🚛. I have used your “header” paint technique..great results . Thanks for your time and talent. The walls are always dry here..🏖
Tricky paint job on this one, but you hit a home run on it. The way you masked the body was amazing. To bad about the decals, that humidity is a killer, I know I live in Florida. I will be moving soon to an island in the South Pacific to a town called Pago- Pago. Hope there is a hobby store there, if not there is always amazon. Again Chris amazing build. Best channel on TH-cam!
Whoa! Amazing work! I love the 70s and 80s nascars I gotta pick myself up one of these JR kits cause this is an incredible car for my case. I remember my mother driving me to school in her Buick regal 😂
Looks great!! And you've got to love that legendary humidity in Wischeeseland. Plaster the front end with a host of Wisconsin bugs and it would be proto-typically correct.
I use inexpensive Canons. No plans to talk about making videos but the still camera is an old SX170IS and the video camera I got late last year on sale, is a HFR82. Both are set to automatic. Thanks!
You may find this funny but i built that model when it originally came out, its one of the ones i removed the window net and some of the bars put in 2 seats and made it look like a street car. I dont know if you have any say in things but there's a piece missing, nascar rules stipulate the fuel tank must be sealed off from the cockpit so there can be no gap under the rear window, there's supposed to be a sheet metal panel closing the gap. In case you want to include that in your review of the kit. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I personally wouldn't worry too much about the pinstripes on the Regal. I'm a massive Buick fan and Petty fan, so I've researched his '81 car extensively. Depending on which race, the car had either black/dark blue striping (very difficult to tell), white pinstripes or none at all. I've been to the Richard Petty Museum and the Daytona car currently has white pinstripes, and I believe during the race it had none.
FYI for everyone. My Ollie's has some Round2 kits at a very good price. They are older kits. I picked up an AMT plated tanker, Transtar 4300, and '49 Mercury police patrol çar for less than $50. Check them out.
I really love these old school Nascar models, they always come out looking fantastic. I'd love to get one but I'm kinda just holding out for a Dale Earnhardt kit...
The release of the highly anticipated Peterbilt 378 longhauler,looks like a re-box of Italeri's 1/24 scale Peterbilt 378.The MSRP of the Italeri kit,is roughly $85.00.The AMT kit,will probably be sold for $55.00 MSRP;if you include the city,state,and federal sales taxes.
Hey Chris -- just watched this from a link on the Salvinos JR Facebook page. Super helpful !!! I noticed you didn't mention anything about sanding/wet sanding the primer coat on the body before spraying the Tamiya colors. Did you just spray right over the primer without any sanding ?
Thanks for visiting! These are quick two day model builds, not model making classes, just to show how the kit can end up. I spray and pray, no sanding, etc.
As usual Chris. Another great and beautiful build on the Petty Buick Regal car. Chris how do you keep your paint booth clean after you’ve finished painting a car or truck ? Thanks, Steve
Chris -- One thing I wanted to ask about. On the body you used Rustoleum primer (which I believe is enamel) and then sprayed Tamiya color over it (which is lacquer). I've had bad experiences before with lacquer over enamel (the lacquer actually bubbled). I guess the Rustoleum primer is more durable ?
I've never had an issue. My guess is their primers aren't enamel as some claim, or neither Tamiya nor Rustoleum are harsh enough paints to react poorly with each other once dry.
Another great review man. Love watching these Salvino kit reviews of yours. What glue do you use for the kits(aside from the glass)? Have you ever tried airbrushing a kit? Just curious. Keep up the great work on these vids man
years ago I was taking a tour of the Petty garages near High Point N.C. I was taking pictures of the grounds and Richard Petty himself walked out of one of the garages. He spotted me with the camera and told this fella that was with him something. This other fella started heading my way and I was so afraid that I was in trouble for taking photos, once the guy came up to me he stated, "Mr. Petty would very much like to know if you got a picture of him." I admitted I had, and stood waiting for my camera to be taken away. He said, "Well the King would like a copy of any photos you may have taken of him if you don't mind." I was completely blown away. I stood with a dumbfounded look on my face I'm sure, and said, " Of course anything he wants." Well to shorten this story up, once I had gotten the filmed develope I had 2 shots of the King and I sent copies of both to him, about a week and a half later I got a large manila envelope in the mail. Inside was an autographed, blown up copy of the photo of him. I started freaking out and couldn't believe it. I stil have said photo to this day, and have it locked away for safe keeping and will pass it on to my son. I has become a family treasure for sure.
Chris, hey where can I find the stand you use to paint the body and the alligator clip stand for everything else. Im looking and I can find nothing :( Thanks!
I'll use anything I need for the scheme I desire. Some have enamels, some have acrylics, I just grab what I want off my racks and paint. No issues yet. Rustoleums on those blocks is pretty tough.
i am currently building the kyle petty #42 1981 regal monogram kit at the moment. i have been building models for 30+ years. i am using some of the technics i have learned from hpiguy videos. it is never to late to learn something new.

I've been looking forward to this video. I have this one in the post having just finished the #88 Bobby Allison Regal kit.
Thanks!
Looks great! I would love to see a video on how you store and display your completed model kits
Thanks!
No plans to do a video of models on a shelf, but the rest get stored in dollar store tupperware containers I can stack and see inside of.
Very nice! Thank you Model Roundup for this kit to allow Chris to show all of us how great these kits can look, regardless of the age.
Thanks Stu!
It’s so nice to actually see that chrome “horn” on the front of the car, aka bumper. This is a “stock” car vs today’s cookie cutter cars. I miss the individual manufacturers look to their cars.
Great build as always.
Thanks Rich, the older cars sure inspire more excitement!

That was always my favorite R. Petty paint scheme. I wish he had used it for more than one season.

Always fun with the weather.
I like this model a lot!

Holy crap, this soooo cool!! Richard Petty would be proud!!! Excellent! !!!!!
Thanks a lot Ron!

@@hpiguy nowadays some sticker headlights are the closest you get 😂
I love that ' lazy Susan' you use, allows you to get to all areas of the part with the paint, very smart bro.
Yup, Tamiya Paint Stands, Modelroundup.com has them as well.
Wow this looks realistic and great love your petty buick excellent work
Thank you so much 😀
@@hpiguy your welcome you do a great job in the details building you model cars
Another 👍 great build love it keepem coming Chris
Thank you Dennis!
All you need is to find the super bird he drove. Great build as always Chris.👍👍
Thanks Charles!
Another amazing build my friend. You just keep making them better and better. Keep up the great work and Rust In Peace.
Thanks my man!
Beautiful job !
Thank you so much 😀
Another awsome build chris.
Thanks Paul!
Looks great!! And you've got to love that legendary humidity in Wischeeseland. Plaster the front end with a host of Wisconsin bugs and it would be proto-typically correct.
Thanks bud!
Your screen shot looks like the real thing, outstanding!
Thanks dude!
Wonderful to have these classic nascar kits available again!
I agree!
Another great build Chris. Keep em coming.
Thanks Bob!
Hey Chris, your stills and video always turn out so well, could you do a video talking about the equipment you use?
I use inexpensive Canons.
No plans to talk about making videos but the still camera is an old SX170IS and the video camera I got late last year on sale, is a HFR82. Both are set to automatic. Thanks!

I have the 1980 Monte Carlo version for the build off our Discord group is doing. Can't wait to dig into it!
Enjoy!
Got to see Richard Petty run this at Rockingham a few times back in the day (when NASCAR was NASCAR!!).
As always I enjoy the work you do my friend great build
Thanks Edward!
Nice build Chris. Gotta love those Tamiya spray paints.

Funny to watch this again now, just watched the 81 Daytona 500 last night.
Thanks and thanks for watching the channel!
Stay tuned for another Petty car today!
Believe me or not but I have the 94 grand prix # 43 built by petty enterprise in my shop right now, boss got at action
Cool!
OMG - Off the charts good. Way to go, Chris -
Thank you so much for your efforts and sharing...
Thanks as always RA!
Awesome !
Next build you should do the revell 1967 Plymouth gtx or the AMT 1969 gtx
Those are older re-issues so I'll have to catch them next time around! I stick to current issues and reissues from the past few weeks.
Awesome build! Race cars require a white driveshaft due to if one falls out another driver will see it.
Thanks!
Beautiful, awesome and fantastic! 🥇👏👏🏆
Thank you Mario!
Super job
Thanks man!
Great review and build of the Petty car Chris!....Bill
Thanks Bill!
I Like 1981 Buick Regal Very First Generation 3 NASCAR Winston Cup Series History In My Opinion
i got this kit haven't done anything to it yet thanks for the video
Get to buildin!
Another awesome Petty build! You need to do his '84 Pontiac man!
If they issue it, yup!
Very nice build
Thanks Sam!

As usual Chris. Another great and beautiful build on the Petty Buick Regal car. Chris how do you keep your paint booth clean after you’ve finished painting a car or truck ? Thanks, Steve
I don't, it gets pretty dirty and I'll change the filter and scrape the sides every 6-8 kits or so, so about once a month.
Nice work. Do you build on consignment?
I want to give this video 43 likes! Great work as usual, Chris! As a NASCAR fan since the very early 80s, I really enjoy these quite a bit.
Thanks James, up next will be Cale's Hardee's car when it comes in!

Hi great job as always, you do such good work with spray cans. I'd like to a video on how you do it. Thanks
There is one, search the home page of the channel, you'll see it.
Chris, hey where can I find the stand you use to paint the body and the alligator clip stand for everything else. Im looking and I can find nothing :( Thanks!
Tamiya Paint Stands at Modelroundup.com, thanks!
Very clean build
Thanks!
Real nice. Do you remember the 1955 Badman 55 Chevy. Can you build one👍👍
Hi Fred, I so know the kit. My reviews are all recent issues, and reissues. If they repop the kit I'll end up reviewing it.
The stripes are a pain. If you clear coat(2 light coats) the decals the day before you use them. They are easier to deal with.
Awesome job! You need to do Richards Pontiac 2+2
If/when they issue it, I'll do it. :)
that is a very cool build . have you ever built the Richard Petty car hauler ? that could be sweet to have them together
Thanks! Nope, never had that one.
I Really like it Chris n God Bless All
Thanks Gary!
That is a sweet build
Thank you Joe!
@@hpiguy
you're very welcome, one question for you, maybe you can help
what's the best source for reference photos
Looks nice Chris
Thank you Charlie!
Kick but build and kit. Stoopid humidity 😉
Thanks Danny, yeah that sucked, the stripes worked so nice on all the other ones. Just bad luck with the weather this time.
Nice
Thanks!
What ratio do you mix your enamels for detail painting? Paint/thinner
Right out of the bottle.
Have you ever reviewed the Ryobi 18 +1 18 gauge nail gun?
Nope not that one.
Where did you get that clamp you use for painting the bodies. been looking, cant find it
The body holder is in the Tamiya Paint Stand set.

Looks really nice - the figure is something different.
Thanks!
When you paint your engine detail (bits and bobs) after priming, do you paint with enamels or acrylics? Thanks
I'll use anything I need for the scheme I desire. Some have enamels, some have acrylics, I just grab what I want off my racks and paint. No issues yet. Rustoleums on those blocks is pretty tough.
What ratio do you thin your enamels when doing derail work. Love the channel. I look forward to every review!
What gloss clear coat did you use?
Future floor polish as stated in the video. Thanks!
Very nice I love it
Thanks!
Water jug is oil tank 😄
Why can't I post a picture on this site?
You Tube doesn't work like Facebook, comments only.
What about a Petty Mopar???
When they issue them they will get built
