The exhaust pipes - I actually KRINGED when you touched them at fist as they looked hot! Really, like heated stainless after 500 miles at full throttle. The entire car is impressive. The paint looks realistic for the era and again, your pre shadowing and washes add realism. Inspirational. The bar has once again notched up. Thanks for sharing...
I absolutely LOVE your videos, especially your vintage racing models. This is my third go-round of watching the build up of these Salvino kits lol. Can’t wait to see that Earnhardt 442!
Yes, sometimes a new company will have all kinds of issues with quality to start with but this was pretty darn easy to put together. Looking forward to new releases and ideas.
I had fit issues building mine. I guess because I never built a nascar before. But maybe the next one ill follow your steps and make it a better fit. Thanks for all your demonstrations and break downs!
I see on this one you did some underbody wear and tear. That was fast. I’ll have to watch all the stock builds , you may have answered other questions. Sound track is nice. Always listen to music while I build. We all can use a little humor. Thanks again
Awesome build up. I too do mine as I would want them to be. I put a lot more chrome under the hood than most builders do. Just the way I like it. Keep the good work up and I'll be watching.
Nice build! I got one as well and am impressed. I am using paint code T Candy apple red from a 67 to 69 Ford mustang . Your colonial red is looking great. It's a great kit and thumbs up to Jr sorvinos
Beautiful work as always! I have this kit, the Donnie Alison Olds, and two of the Buddy Baker olds. Can’t wait to see your Dale Earnhardt olds build, those decals are the reason I bought two of the Grey Ghosts the day they came out.
I'm impressed, anyone starting a new model company that produces homegrown, desirable and well detailed subject matter at a competitive price deserves success and our continued patronage. Certainly looks like a decent end result and good to hear the decals go in well. Did I notice a big scratch / dent on the front corner of the hood when it was still in bare plastic...?
Nice looking kit. I like the prominence of the pads on the roll cage. I thought I saw some large injector pin marks on the bottom of the chassis. That would be my only gripe
I love it! It reminds me of the old mpc, revell, monogram kits that where made in the good old USA.🇺🇲😎👍there's hardly any toys made in the usa anymore! Happy that this company is doing so.🇺🇲
I too have this kit. It's awesome with all of the parts in it! Can't wait to get started on mine. Thanks man for the cool video, great music during the paint process!
I have seen a couple of the Salvino's Olds kits built, including on the cover of Scale Auto magazine, and one thing always stands out to me on that car - the rear wheel openings are too low and don't show enough of the tire. That's important, since the big slicks are such a prominent feature on NASCAR cars, and the solution is simple - radius the rear wheel wells a bit to show more tire. Would make a big difference.
Great job mate, it will be 3 months before those kits get here so lm going to Hobbyco this morning to preorder all of them . I watch you all the time to see what the kits are like because at the moment the Aussie $ is way down and they are 75 dollars here .
Looks like a very nice kit indeed! And you did a great job on it. Nice to see a new company coming out with new-tooled kits.. maybe they can also do things other than just race cars :)
Nice Chris! I pre-ordered Bakers #27 Monte from them, still waiting for it but really looking forward to a Nascar kit other then Monogram/A.M.T. Looks like a nice kit from they way yours went together... I've built 100's of Nascar kits in my life so I'm sure I'll get through the instructions okay, Thanks for the great review and build my friend 🏁🏁🏁👍👍👍
You will have zero issues with the assembly or directions. They omit a few things like I showed but you'll pick up on it fast. And they've commented that they will work on the directions, that's really responsive.
@@hpiguy Nice!! Good to hear bro! So glad there's a new company in town and they like car racing! That's mostly what I build, I hope they stick around... If they continue to put out good quality like you say they might just be here to stay! 🏁👍👍
I want to say thank you for all the reviews you do. I subbed awhile back and have either purchased or shied away from kits that I have watched you review here. Would love to see this company bring out things like semi's and trailers. Moebius is great. Amt and revell are a hit and miss with them. Also some other muscle cars. Anyway, I love watching your vids. Keep up the beautiful work.
Thanks Donald. i'm pretty sure Salvino J R is going to be staying in the race vehicle category, but then again, no one but them knows their future plans.
Really diggin this one, i love classic nascar. would be neat to see a Darrell Ealtrip rookie season chevy. I recently finished the revell 68 chevelle and mpc monaco, youre channel has given me lots of inspiration. keep it up~
Love your videos - your builds are all so very clean and detailed. Was wanting to do this kit to build Darrell Waltrip's 78 Gatorade Monte Carlo "Bertha" - would you happen to have any specs as far chassis, engine & interior details especially paint? Again thank you sharing your expertise!
Very nice work on a beautiful model. I'm just like you: NASCAR .. don't know a lot about them but love them, did one NASCAR model from Monogram and planning to do more.
Thanks! Right, we don't have to be a perfect expert to enjoy all kinds of model kits. Some people (who lack the fun factor in their lives) forget that and think you need to be a walking encyclopedia just to build a model and like it.
I can't understand how you're always so positive about every kit you build. I got an MPC Dukes of Hazzard General Lee and it's so bad I don't think I can build it. Everywhere I look there are giant gaps between parts. Shame too, it's my 3rd model car and I haven't managed to finish a single one because of various reasons. Maybe I will give a fourth one a try or just keep to building tanks. You did do a pretty great job on this one though, kudos. Also I'm not slagging on this new manufacturer, this kit looks dope.
I do this for a hobby. If It bummed me out or made me angry all the time I wouldn't enjoy it anymore. Pick some newer easier kits, get those done and then go back to the ones that give you issues. Take your time, there is no rush.
Yes! Finally another kit manufacturer that does not have it's kits manufactured in China!.It is about time America leveled the playing field.For almost 30 years,Asia has had a monopoly on the manufacturing of plastic model kits.
Love it! Definitely not a '78 though. Maybe he drove it in '78; the '77 was the last year of the baroque styling on the body. The headlights are '75 or prior. If the other nose had two lights, one on top the other, on each side, that would be the '76/'77 headlights. I loved my '77!
Another hit out of the park, Chris! These Salvinos reissues are just awesome and it is great to see these classic kits available again. Also great to see that they brought out the '79 Olds as well so now we can model the pool scene from Cannonball Run! Also, what did you use to paint the window trim and did you have to do much masking?
Just a suggestion. I have watched many plastic model unboxings and reviews. Many of these guys have no clue what causes flash, ejector pin marks, sinks etc. lots of people talk about these and do not know what causes them. You could do a video on this.

Recently found your channel, and so glad I did! Couple questions, how do you find time to pump out so many builds? How do you get your paint so glossy? Do you use Futures floor gloss? Keep up the great work!!
H1 Tony! Thanks for watching! I work fast and try to get as many done as I can for review. I can have a kit assembled and in the paint booth usually in one afternoon. I have a full video on how I paint using spray cans and Future, it's here: th-cam.com/video/3pWrb1amyQU/w-d-xo.html
It's a nice car great paint job and decal placement however I'm not a Nascar fan so I'm wondering do they make other cars for me to Sweet Spot is 1955 to 1971
Wow your builds look amazing ! I was wondering if sometime you sell them or if you take orders to get sone built for clients ? I’m really interested. Thanks!
These are wonderful kits. But I'm not into Nascars. Tho, Salvinos have released a vid this week of a new WIP of a '73 Charger. It's the road-going version and not a stock-car. However, this may just be the begining of a new stock-car, and they started from the picture of the road-going car, but some people think that Salvinos may be working on their first road-going car kit.
maybe those bumpers are diecast zinc, chrome plated. As usual, nice looking build. Those whiners by the way, in the model aircraft community are called rivet counters
Thanks for watching! Yeah, everyone calls them rivet counters, but I like saying whiner and complainers because rivet counter just sounds way too nice.
Please show us your collection of finished models
Got this kit today! Thrilled with Salvinos JR kits! I’ve wanted to build a Hawaiian Tropic car since Cannonball Run!
That sure looks like a nice kit! Beautiful build, can't wait to see you put more stock cars together!
Thanks Tim!
Great work on this,love old stock cars and can remember them when they were raced thanks for sharing all the great details.
Thanks David!

Thanks mang!
Another cool build/review! Never built a NASCAR before...may need to get this one. Thanks for doing what ya do.
Thanks! It's always fun to expand the horizon. I'll build just about anything.
I absolutely LOVE your videos, especially your vintage racing models. This is my third go-round of watching the build up of these Salvino kits lol. Can’t wait to see that Earnhardt 442!
Thanks for the nice words and for watching!

It's encouraging to see quality kits from a new supplier.
Yes, sometimes a new company will have all kinds of issues with quality to start with but this was pretty darn easy to put together.
Looking forward to new releases and ideas.
Excellent video & job building your Salvinos JR Donnie Allison 1979 Monte Carlo model kit too!
Thanks Jack!
I had fit issues building mine. I guess because I never built a nascar before. But maybe the next one ill follow your steps and make it a better fit. Thanks for all your demonstrations and break downs!
Thanks for watching the show!

You got it Doug, we should build to please ourselves, no one else. Enjoy!
Modelroundup looks great for Nascar models, will buy from them, thanks for the info!
Brother it’s a good thing we aren’t neighbors , you would never get rid of me , lol . You do some excellent work . Keep it up . 👍👍👍
LOL, thanks Tim!
Fantastic revue of this new kit. Nice and clean moldings.
Thank you Rob!
The Monte Carlo came out Awesome
Nice build! I got one as well and am impressed. I am using paint code T Candy apple red from a 67 to 69 Ford mustang . Your colonial red is looking great. It's a great kit and thumbs up to Jr sorvinos
Jr salvino made in usa!! Buy one!
Thanks!
Awesome build as always !! Love the old school Monte Carlo NASCARs. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Gera! Old school NASCAR is the best!
Looks really nice! Can't say I've ever seen one of those before.
It's a sweet kit, easy assembly and the decals were love all the way.
Awesome build!nice to see something made here in the USA..
Thanks man!
Beautiful work as always! I have this kit, the Donnie Alison Olds, and two of the Buddy Baker olds. Can’t wait to see your Dale Earnhardt olds build, those decals are the reason I bought two of the Grey Ghosts the day they came out.
Thanks Logan!
Been looking for some vintage stock cars to build. And from a new company. Double bonus!!!
Great work as always!
Thanks Scott, grab one from Moderoundup, they have the lowest price on these from what I can find.
I'm impressed, anyone starting a new model company that produces homegrown, desirable and well detailed subject matter at a competitive price deserves success and our continued patronage.
Certainly looks like a decent end result and good to hear the decals go in well.
Did I notice a big scratch / dent on the front corner of the hood when it was still in bare plastic...?
Just dirt on the plastic from the mold, no dents.
Excellent to hear. Thanks 👍
Nice looking kit. I like the prominence of the pads on the roll cage. I thought I saw some large injector pin marks on the bottom of the chassis. That would be my only gripe
It's a great kit. Yes, there are pin marks in the chassis, I ignore them but a swipe of putty and sand paper would make those go away fast.
I love it! It reminds me of the old mpc, revell, monogram kits that where made in the good old USA.🇺🇲😎👍there's hardly any toys made in the usa anymore! Happy that this company is doing so.🇺🇲
Pick one up and show support!
Great job Chris, it is a little different than the Cannonball Run car. Lol, looks pretty professional. Build on Brother.
Thanks BB!
I too have this kit. It's awesome with all of the parts in it! Can't wait to get started on mine. Thanks man for the cool video, great music during the paint process!
Thanks for watching Jeff, glad you liked it.
Great video and kit Chris. Looks like another winner! Thanks for sharing....
Thanks a lot Mike!
Another excellent review and build Chris.
Thank you Ron!
Oh wow! Liking that kit. Great job Chris!!
Thank you Bryan!
Great job. I must say they got the look and stance of the Monte Carlo bang on.....the glory days of Nascar!
Yeah it sits nice and low, love that.
I'd love to see the street stocker kits from the local short tracks
Awesome build. That car is a winner
Sure is!
Nice build love the detail
Thanks Charles!
Really dig this kit nice work as always
Thanks Ralph!
I like your models and show.Best regards from germany
Thank you Thomas!
Turned out awesome
Thanks Kenneth!
Good job I did the 74monte Carlo
What can I say? Another most appreciated and fantastic review. Looking forward to more race car reviews.
Thanks man!

I know this is an older build, but it looks beautiful. Also do you remember Mel Tillis and Terry Bradshaw drove this same car in Cannon Ball Run.
have to check 'em out thanx again great job!
Pick one up!
so new kit company thats cool looks great may need to look em up and see what they have
Check out all their kits on Modelroundup.com, they also have custom decals to make just about any driver that used these cars.
Another great build, keep 'em coming
Thanks!
That's a beautiful car. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Charlie!

I agree Richard! Stay tuned for more Salvino kits for sure.
Looks like a very nice kit indeed! And you did a great job on it. Nice to see a new company coming out with new-tooled kits.. maybe they can also do things other than just race cars :)
Thanks Hisham, we'll see. I think they are also going to do NHRA stuff, which will be fun.
Great looking model Chris, thanks for the review, the build looks very good!...Bill
Thank you Bill!
kooool , thanx....NASCAR was superkool @ that point in history..Really neat one
Robert
neat kit , Wow...perfect
Thanks for watching, I agree, my favorite era of NASCAR was 70s and 80s, early 90s.
Great review Chris!
Thanks Clay!
Such an awesome model. Back when NASCAR was great. No cookie cutter cars like today. Back when the race cars had a real chrome horn on the front.
Thanks, and I agree!
The old NASCARs rocked
They do!
I love your builds man. I’d love to see your take on the ‘78 Ford 4x4 Firestone Pickup.
Thanks ZaccSquatch!
@ ZaccSasquach That is AMT's 1978 Ford 4x4 Fire Stone pickup from Round 2 you are referring to.
Devin Russell yes it is.
Really looks great - thanks much.
Thank you!
very cool looking kit
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Chopper!
I love it! We can’t get Salvinos JR kits in the U.K. without paying high postage rates and import duty. 😢
They were just saying they are trying to get UK distributors, maybe it will happen and save you a bit of $$.
Looks like a great kit! I was afraid they were monogram repops. Maybe I'll get to use my Levi Garrett and Wrangler decals after all at some point!

amazing . do u have any recomendations on wher or if this salvino's jr or model round up has indy cars from early 70's to about 1985 model kits
Yep. Gonna have to get me one...
Or three!
@@hpiguy That would be a sweet diorama! Three or four cars on the banking of Daytona!
Very nice work on a beautiful model. I'm just like you: NASCAR .. don't know a lot about them but love them, did one NASCAR model from Monogram and planning to do more.
Thanks! Right, we don't have to be a perfect expert to enjoy all kinds of model kits. Some people (who lack the fun factor in their lives) forget that and think you need to be a walking encyclopedia just to build a model and like it.

What clear coat do you use
Beautiful work to thumbs up.
Thank you!
Great video, really enjoyed this.
Thanks for watching!
Looks good!
Thanks Peter!
I can't understand how you're always so positive about every kit you build. I got an MPC Dukes of Hazzard General Lee and it's so bad I don't think I can build it. Everywhere I look there are giant gaps between parts. Shame too, it's my 3rd model car and I haven't managed to finish a single one because of various reasons. Maybe I will give a fourth one a try or just keep to building tanks. You did do a pretty great job on this one though, kudos. Also I'm not slagging on this new manufacturer, this kit looks dope.

Pick some newer easier kits, get those done and then go back to the ones that give you issues. Take your time, there is no rush.
Yes! Finally another kit manufacturer that does not have it's kits manufactured in China!.It is about time America leveled the playing field.For almost 30 years,Asia has had a monopoly on the manufacturing of plastic model kits.
Thanks for watching Devin!
Gorgeous!!
Thanks!
Did you ever build the other 2 kits?? Was excited to see you throw your own touch on that oldsmobile.
Just curious what do you use the Finish floor stuff for?
Clear coat, and to protect clear parts.
Love it! Definitely not a '78 though. Maybe he drove it in '78; the '77 was the last year of the baroque styling on the body. The headlights are '75 or prior. If the other nose had two lights, one on top the other, on each side, that would be the '76/'77 headlights. I loved my '77!
It's his final victory car driven in 1979, not a 1979 model car.
Aktshually.......
Fuggin awesome mate, love it !!
Thanks Gary!
A road version would be great
Just bought this kit, and was wondering what you used to degrease your parts?
A scrub with Simple Green does the trick.
I also found a Grand National Malibu Laguna, which is similar (Chevelle I think). It was in Cannonball Run when it was jumped into a pool.
Cool!
Another hit out of the park, Chris! These Salvinos reissues are just awesome and it is great to see these classic kits available again. Also great to see that they brought out the '79 Olds as well so now we can model the pool scene from Cannonball Run! Also, what did you use to paint the window trim and did you have to do much masking?
I use a black sharpie for black trim and silver sharpie for silver trim most times. I didn't need to mask the body, per the decal sheet.
Just a suggestion.
I have watched many plastic model unboxings and reviews.
Many of these guys have no clue what causes flash, ejector pin marks, sinks etc.
lots of people talk about these and do not know what causes them.
You could do a video on this.
Hi there. Was wondering if you can apply future finish as a clear coat over decals. I know you probably airbrush but I've heard you can use this as a clear coat. Note I don't have any decal set or Sol on them. Thanks. Love your videos
Yes, Future is safe over dried decals, safe under decals before applying and safe over almost every kind of paint as long as the paint is dry.
It will also help old decals settle down and stick nicely if they are peeling up.
I brush Future on.
@@hpiguy thank you kind sir. I will be brushing it on as I do not have a airbrush. Any other tips are appreciated. Love what you do. Loved that Massey furgeson you did recently. Turned out terrific. Looks as just rolled into farm from field. Truly talented sir
Recently found your channel, and so glad I did! Couple questions, how do you find time to pump out so many builds? How do you get your paint so glossy? Do you use Futures floor gloss?
Keep up the great work!!
H1 Tony! Thanks for watching! I work fast and try to get as many done as I can for review. I can have a kit assembled and in the paint booth usually in one afternoon.

Bellísimo
Thanks!
It's a nice car great paint job and decal placement however I'm not a Nascar fan so I'm wondering do they make other cars for me to Sweet Spot is 1955 to 1971
Currently it's all race oriented cars, but the future could hold anything. I hear NHRA cars are coming up as well.
Wow your builds look amazing !
I was wondering if sometime you sell them or if you take orders to get sone built for clients ? I’m really interested. Thanks!
Thanks a lot! And thanks for spending some time on the channel!
I don't do commission builds but I'm flattered you'd ask!
This body was from 1973 to 1977 my friend
Correct, it's the car he drove to his final victory in 1979. That's why I didn't say it was a 79 Monte.
These are wonderful kits. But I'm not into Nascars. Tho, Salvinos have released a vid this week of a new WIP of a '73 Charger. It's the road-going version and not a stock-car.

I think it will be a stock car version, but it's anyone's guess right now. They are more oriented to the race side of kits.
@@hpiguy I think the same thing.
maybe those bumpers are diecast zinc, chrome plated.
As usual, nice looking build.
Those whiners by the way, in the model aircraft community are called rivet counters
Thanks for watching! Yeah, everyone calls them rivet counters, but I like saying whiner and complainers because rivet counter just sounds way too nice.
Is your paint booth commercial or home made
From Ebay, check my channel for paint booth review.
