Wow! Just wow! I’ve seen some very clever techniques in this video! Love the attention to detail. I will try the aluminium leaf and the textured exhaust shield. Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant work. Absolutely brilliant. As always, your attention to detail is sublime. I know chances are slim, but I hope that someone at GMA shows this (and the sequel videos for this model) to Mr. Murray. I have a feeling he might appreciate it.
Thank you. I used 18k gold leaf because I saw a video of Mr. Murray talking about how 18k gold leaf has the best insulation properties. I adopted Mr. Murray's obsession with cars.
Bravo Sir, Bravo, Video ended and I sat here for another thirty seconds with my mouth open in awe of what I just watched. Thank you so much for the content.
ahhh so thats how you use carbon fiber decals.....ive seen every video of yours, I can tell you're going the extra mile on this kit. Beautiful work. I can never do this, don't have the time/creativity/hands for this but love watching talented people go to work. Naisu!
I was on the fence with this kit. I want to get it but I am not sure about my skills to do it justice! After seeing what you did that engine, I am now convinced I do not have enough skills to do this kit justice! 🤣
Thank you Ron. Sorry for keeping you waiting so long. It took me longer than expected to apply the aluminum foil and gold leaf. I will post the next video as soon as possible😀👍
Thank you. I thought it would be nice to have another engine kit like this one. If you have one more engine, you could display it next to the T.50 once it's completed.

A journalist during a visit to the GMA factory said to Gordon Murray 'Now that's how you make a supercar'. After viewing I say ' Now that's how you make a super model of a supercar'. Like the GMA.50 you are matching innovation by using materials & technique not seen before. The standard you set on the engine will be hard to keep up. The wait will be exciting.
Thank you. I watched the GMA video. I used real 18k gold leaf because Mr. Murray said 18k gold is the best insulator. Applying gold leaf is not difficult. Pasting gold leaf is so much fun that you'll want to put it on all sorts of things.
Ah, but using gold leaf & aluminium foil is very Japanese & unique in car modeling. Everyone else would just use gold & silver paint. This is why the T.50 is special, it uses materials & techniques not common with other supercars.
Awesome job! I will follow the build because your attention to detail is outstanding. It must also be hard to decide wether to put or not that carbon fiber mesh, since gma offers a wide range of tones for it and in some cars it appears black.
@@mokeipaint Exactly. Not like this guy did it for instance: th-cam.com/users/shortskZU8tfods6k?si=wa6SaYEwbB7OJeOI However I like how he lined up the carbon fiber pattern where different surfaces meet. Definitely a good job but not a very realistic look with so much exposed carbon. By the way... Hobby Design sells some sort of kit for this car. What is that about?
Thank you. I also thought about installing a wiring harness, but I didn't because I couldn't see the wiring harness after the kit was completed. If I was building a single engine, I would definitely install it.
Hi great build so far few questions 1where do you get the leaf sheets from 2 what are the glues use for fixing the leafs down.im in uk so hard to find some these bits you have to use or they cost 5times as much if find them.regards Glynn
Thank you. I use Japanese painting pigments. The pigments are available at art supply stores in the UK. The adhesive I use is the same material as Tamiya clear parts adhesive.
A true Grand Master. Can you do a long video on gold and silver leaf ??? I'm Still trying to figure out how you take crumpled up silver leaf and make it super nice with a brush.
Thank you. To apply aluminum foil and gold foil neatly, just keep pressing with a brush until it is light and clean. The scene of applying aluminum foil to the motor part of the engine is shown in the membership-only video with almost no cuts. Since many of the viewers of the public videos are beginners in plastic model making, it is difficult to show the scenes of applying aluminum foil and gold foil without cutting them out.
How did this kit go together? Did you have any issues to speak of? Any thoughts? I just ordered it myself. This video is a treasure trove of knowledge. Where can a man order that order the gold and chrome leaf? You should REALLY consider doing tutorials, tips and tricks videos my guy. Your methods and techniques are TOP F'N NOTCH👌
Thank you. This kit has only the engine assembled yet. I'm currently making the chassis. There are currently no issues. The source of aluminum leaf and gold leaf is Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, but due to the large M7.6 earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Ishikawa Prefecture on January 1, 2024, Japan time, houses collapsed and roads were destroyed in Ishikawa Prefecture. There was great damage, including division. Although not confirmed, it may take some time to obtain aluminum leaf and gold leaf.

@@mokeipaint seen it on the news. So sorry to hear about everything going on there in your homeland. You guys kinda got screwed with the location of Japan. The ring of fire is no joke. Tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons, volcanoes...you guys get it all. Regards from the states.
@@bobbyosborne2375 Thank you. The area where I live was shaken a little by this earthquake, but there was no damage, so there is no problem with posting videos. I've been used to earthquakes and typhoons since I was a child, but I'm really scared of big earthquakes. I have only been affected by volcanic ash once. Although it doesn't make the news, an M5 class earthquake always occurs somewhere in Japan once a month. There have been many times when I was shooting a video and had to stop due to an earthquake. The plastic models I created are stored in strong boxes to prevent them from being damaged by objects falling during an earthquake. My house is also designed to be earthquake resistant😀👍
The thickness of the aluminum foil I used was 0.3~0.5μm, and the thickness of the gold foil was 0.1~0.2μm. It is difficult to substitute with other things.

@@Jeroen-i1d When applying aluminum leaf and gold leaf to plastic, use thinner for plastic models. Dilute the lacquer 10 times with thinner for plastic models and apply it to the plastic. Leave it for a few minutes and it will become sticky. When the lacquer becomes sticky, wipe it off with dust-free paper. After wiping off the Urushi, the surface of the plastic will still be sticky, so place an aluminum leaf or gold leaf on it and press it down lightly with a brush. The method of pressing down with a brush is as shown in the video.
Outstanding work! I liked a lot the application of the aluminium/gold leaf on the plastic: do you use the ordinary aluminium foil or it is even thinner than the roll aluminium? What kind of paper (akautushi paper) do you use as "backing support" for the aluminium foil? What is the "oil-based Urushi"?
