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.
Your own license plate in a model? How amazing is that!! Congratulations chris!! That's awesome!!
I always enjoy these MONSTER reviews. Thanks for sharing.
That awesome Chris 👌 😎
OH WOW! What a great review video. Allot of great tool and models. Thank you so much for sharing.
Cool license plates
Dude that's so wild an so cool the 99 Silverado kits have hpi guy plates man I'm gonna buy at least 3 of em fer them plates..Isa cool kit anyways....congrats chris.that was super cool of them
Dude! How amazing! What a great honor! You've literally made modeling history!
The GT350, the GTO and the Chevy van will be my next purchase for sure.
Chris this is SO COOL !!! Revell adding your name to the plates!! I'll be getting one soon. They are great people to do that for ya. Love this community. Wow, and Round 2 pumping out some cool stuff also. That Coronet is on the list for sure. Also, Atlantis has been working over time on getting us some cool stuff. Love the fact that it's made in the USA too. Thanks for showing this Chris.
Nice review sir! Several kits I want to buy!
You have garnered some serious clout dude.
I am impressed.
Cool kits coming out. When will the Revell 1/8 scale L A Street Chopper hit the hobby shop shelves?
That's pretty cool getting a plate! It'll be fun to see how many show up in contests. Great reviews as always, You have become the go to guy if a person wants to see what's in the box before the money drops. Thanks for sharing
Great stuff to look forward to Chris! Have to buy the pickup just for the license plate! That’s awesome! Thanks for the preview.😎
Been building since the 70’s and I still get excited about 3 in 1 kits.
Sweet kits! Awesome of Revell to do that license plate for you. I'm definitely getting that kit. On a side note, it would be great if you did an episode of Luka Cee's Un-Podcast. I've been binging them and alot of the guests give you kudos for what you do for the hobby.
Wow!, great review of new kits! I hope the "Plates" become a standard issue in multiple kits in the future! I would love it if Revell would consider doing an "all new" 67-72 Chevy pickup series, (and include the HPIguys plates), similar to the Moebeus fords! Looking forward to the next "New Kit Review"!
Yes a SHORT BED PLEASE
@@lonniem9728 Absolutely!! I would like to see a Fleetside / Stepside shortbed! Starting with the 67-68 years!👍 both 2wd and 4wd!
Thank you for your great video. I have to ask a question. I'm from Milwaukee Wi. Just curious what city do you live in ?
I recall Willys ads on certain old radio shows. Your pronunciation is correct.
D&D was good, but Thundarr The Barbarian was GREAT!!!
That GTO would look cool done up like the one from the movie The Punisher
Venger and Dungeon Master are target exclusive. I love the cartoon. I am buying the Silverado just to get the plates lol
"Sonderkraftfahrzeug," means simply Special Purpose Vehicle. Looking forward to your unboxing.
You say you do not build show kits. Yes, you do, at least as much as I can see. These look good enough to merit entry in any contest; certainly for the OOTB experience.
I want the aquarod van
Over here in the uk it’s torture watching all these beautiful kits knowing that i will most likely never build any due to shipping prices 😭😭😭. But still a joy to see them being built not left in the boxes!
What's happened to the 1/8th scale VW type 2 camper?
I've always pronounced " Willy's" , I say " What you Talkin bout Willis"! Or "What choo talkin bout Willis"? Damn, bud a lot of great great kits and thangs!
That is absolutely great!! A Sconny plate even!! I gotta build one just because
Everyone should make an effort to buy an ICM (or other Ukrainian model company) kit, to help them out. 🇺🇦💪🥇
Any word on when the 1/35 Sikorsky Skycrane helicopter is due out?
Not just because they are a Ukrainian company....but because the engineering and detail on these kits is outstanding ! MiniArt is another Ukrainian model brand
that often includes the photo-etched parts in each kit. These kits are intended for advanced builders - a beginner with likely have extreme difficulty with them.
Congratulations on the HPIGUY plates! You REALLY deserve this. I am going to have to buy a couple of those Chevy Truck kits!
Awesome that they re-released the K-7 Space Station! They haven't been around for 15 years and they were going for crazy money on the common auction site.
My least favorite Chevrolet truck is the obs truck but I have to get this kit just for the HPI GUY license plates how cool is it to have your own plate name in A model kit keep the videos coming
I have that Revell 1999 Silverado - it’s going to have Wisconsin plates.
To bad the Atlantis "Jungle Jim" car does not include a "Jungle Pam"
I'm picking up at least two of the chevy pickups just to have your license plates!! Might I add, the model suppliers really love you Chris. Thank you for keeping our hobby alive!
Love The preview videos
You do a great job with the kit overviews and quick builds
And the places are so cool 😎
Keep up the great work
Love the work you do, do you know when the pulldozer model will be out. Gota add that to my collection
That's so cool!!!!! I hope they put them in a bunch of kits!!!! I'm from Northern Illinois, now I'm in Florida, wish I knew about you when I was up there! My wife and I used to go to model shows all over Wisconsin Illinois and Indiana!
Another great video Chris. Can't wait to see you build up the Hustler.
I've long wondered why you don't put more effort into higher detail but now I understand... it's all about what the modeler enjoys and that's all that matters. Thanks for the encouragement.
I sure appreciate these kits being built on this channel like they come out of the box, I get to see what are the plus and also the minus that might need more work. You see what the deal is. 👍
I like how he uses regular spray paint, instead of $7 a teaspoon model paint.
Question: Does anybody happen to know of any 1:25 scale Ford Mustang (New Edge style 99-04) kits that have ever been released? Was specifically looking for an 03-04 Mach 1
Thanks!
Dang I can't wait for some of these builds
I'm chomping at the bit for the Pulldozer release. I feel like it's gonna be a nightmare trying to beat scalpers tho.
I built a couple of those '99 Silverados years ago, very cool to see your license plates in there, congrats! The pull dozer is meh for me, I'd rather see the actual full Blazer be reissued if Revell got those Monogram molds.
Thanks for all the other kit previews. I enjoy watching you have fun building your kits. I'd love making videos building kits too, but I just can't figure out the recording/building simultaneously. I guess I'll just leave the build videos to guys like you, ha.
Thanks Chris. Pretty cool 😎 to have your own license plate in a model kit.
Lots of great stuff coming out and it's nice that you are able to keep us posted on everything.
My bank account kept dropping as I kept watching. This is one Happy Guy modeler, Thanks again for all you do...
You have to do the eagle.
Always exciting to see the new kits coming out! Love your videos! 😎👍
So many things I can't wait to see you build. Nice that they made the license plates for your show.
So glad I found your channel.... I don't have time for the modeling-snob types
"Rivet counters" 🤢
Hi Chris. Do you think a 1968 GTX 440 Magnum version will be available? I want to build one for my buddy who had one. Thanks.
HPI Guy plate is Awesome 😂
Can you tell me what company sent you the airbrush if it aloud
You always show the coolest stuff!
Congrats on HPI GUYS plates!
thats awesome that Revell did that! i got into model building because of you! i was intimidated at first thinking i had to make a really good looking/showroom-ish model like sanding it down and painting it flawless. After watching your videos i just build my builds like you and just have fun with it and it still looks good 🥰 keep up the amazing job you are doing!
i'll buy it just for the decal
I have that airbrush, it works GREAT.
What brand is it?
whats the release date for the 99 silverado? im going crazy over here waiting lol
Wow, bit shout out and respect to REVELL for doing that number plate.
It's REVELL for me.
I dig this kind'a behaviour.
Great video. I have spent way to much money on kits after seeing you videos. Love your attitude with the hobby.
I generally don't comment, but this was a excellent video , got the model building juices flowing !
until you see the $35-40 prices on a lot of cars since the beginning of 2023; and trucks like the Kenworth might be $90 now. I just saw one of another truck in a hobby shop that was $99.
What brand was the cordless airbrush?
I didn't like how it worked so I chose not to promote it to my viewers. I only want to promote things that work they way they are supposed to.
When is that pull pork chevy truck gonna be released?
These glasses from optrix is gold, I used them all the time (58y) 👍
Great video thanks for sharing awesome models
Chris can you tell me where to get diaramas I'm looking for garages and automotive
What companies make diaramas for one twenty-five scale
I built that guillotine model when it came out under Polar Lights in the '90s. It went together nicely and even worked! I think it's an old Aurora tool from the '60s. I remember a friend from France noticing it on a bookshelf and was so amazed I gave it to him.
Congrats! What a fantastic tip-of-the-cap... well-deserved.
That engine kit alone should be something the school systems here in the U.S. should be something they need to teach these kids now a days!
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎊 On The Plate Decals In Your Honor Chris 🏆🏆 You Deserve It 👍 Thanks For Sharing Your Talents and God Bless You and All Yours, PRECIATCHYA 🤗👍 Gary.
Don't know if anyone remembers the "Leave It To Beaver" episode that had Tommy Ivo. He appeared as a high school peer of Wally. I don't remember all of the
details of the particular episode - but Ivo had a bunch of giggly girls hanging around him in the high school hallway, when Wally came up and asked Tommy a question.
I Hope You Mean, 300- WASHINGTONS? :)
Did someone say Milwaukee!? 😳😲🤨🤔😆😂
Oh darn it....need to get that Silverado then, just to get my dirty mittens on those decals and I HATE modern ca....autom....contraptions! 😉😆😂
Well deserved Chris, well deserved, I'd love to see Round2 match Revell on this one, maybe HPI Guy Garage? 🤨🤔😉😎
Keep 'em builds and videos coming! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Great Review Chris! Thank you for posting. Looking forward to allot of them especially the GTO and AquaRod.
You got some great sponsors Chris and definitely some great products
Honestly that coronet r/t, the aqua rod van, and the 55 nomad is the main ones I will add to my collection.
Could be your first rear engine dragster!
I mentioned the '99 Silverado kit at one of the places where I buy kits! Looking forward to that one for certain.
I've been waiting for this review for so long.... They are awesome! Thanks for making video for us.
I started automotive modeling back in 1967. Very sad that since then only a few "new" kits have come out. For the most part AMT and Revell just keep releasing old kits.
The companies are all bringing out very interesting automotive kits. I would like to add quite a few of them to my models-to-do.
However, in feedback to the model companies, I won't be a buyer anytime soon. The recent price escalation has taken all the fun out of the hobby for me and a lot of others. I don't see this increase helping to grow the hobby with younger generations, either. It's just getting too expensive. Even discounted prices at places that do that have gotten too high. I've personally decided that instead of paring down my purchases from the 10 or so I'm really interested in from the past few months of releases, I'm now going to buy none. That way, I won't look at the 1 or 2 I had bought and be reminded of the regret I couldn't afford the rest of them.
Hi Chris,
I’ve heard Revell is coming out with a reissue of the Ford Bronco and fishing boat. Have you heard anything about that or when it’ll be released?
Just subscribed and getting back into building. I love your attitude! I'll build for me and style! Thanks for reminding me of that!
I mean I wouldn't mind a model of a stock 1996 Thunderbird...😁
But the 66 T-bird is niiiice.
Chris got a question. Where did you get that Mustang in the tin box? I already have 3 of those kits. I want to add to my collection. Nice kits Chris. Can't wait to see you build them
Been waiting for the Aqua Rod to drop. Just ordered mine. I have an old version of this I found on ebay.
Great kits must be our lucky day ihit the holy grail today at a flea market 100 unbuilt model car kits from 1965 so excited can't sleep thanks for sharing
I really hate these preview/reviews...now I'll need a second job lol Keep up the great work!! Taht Nomad will be in my stash asap
The show stopper is the 1966 Thunderbird. That car is the car. Thank you Chros as usual, an excellent review.
Oh,wating for the „Stomper“-series from Revell,they should them bringing back.
Lol.... it's pronounced as "Ska..did..Fitz" for the SdKfz 251. 😆
My first market was a 74 Chevrolet Vega funny pro stock it was made by AMT ertl at the time
Soooo much good stuff, I am looking forward to doing a truck build with the HPI Guys chevy
Is the airbrush a secret. There are some comments asking what the brand is but never a reply. How can I get one. What is the brand. I’m hoping for an answer
I was just wondering with all your builds of your scale models. With all your bills do you keep them in a certain place I would love to see a tour of all your models that you build
That portable power station my CPAP going all night maybe2
Chris + I got the space 1999 kit in the 22 " with the lab pod and spine booster will have to get that one to go with the other 14" Rescue pod
HPI GUY! Wild! I've got my Silverado on Pre-Order 🙂 🙂 🙂
I'm looking for a kit for a 1968 Ford pickup truck can anyone help me out
