Very nice color, congratulations for the result! I was also looking at this model, but I have to finish what I'm already working on. I trashed a revell audi r8 kit (a mess of a kit, pure waste of time, I don't recommend it to anyone. Too bad for the model, the mold is terrible, none of the windows fit, and in the attempt to bend the windshield, it cracked and I gave up building the model). Once again, congratulations on your progress in scalemodelling, you make more and more beautiful kits - and I've been following you for some time :). good luck, keep them coming!
Hey! Thank you! We are online friends for more than 2 years now :)) This kit is wonderful with some minor fitting issues that you can resolve easily. By the way, also damage this kit with Gravity Paints and bought a new one for the body. The other one will become VW Beetle diorama in the near future :))
@@SmallScaleFun indeed, it's a wonderful kit, I think it was my third scalemodel built and the first one that came "in one piece" :) hehe. At this moment I'm working on a re-edit of my first model - Italeri Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing 1/24 and I put a tremendous pressure on myself to make a jewel out of it. At the moment of speaking, I think I might have bitten more than I can chew as I cut out the doors, bonnet and trunk lid in order to make them openable and now I have to make some reliable hinges and also cut the windows into separate parts (they come in as one part) so...yes, I have a deja-vu with them cracking. We'll see, only time will tell if I failed or I succeeded :). Maybe I should post a "part 1" of it, sort of "work in progress" episode. Wish me luck.
I just waiting to see your upgrades on Gullwing (I plan to buy the model in the future). Also, I think GTI from Revell will be great candidate for those modification that you're making on Mercedes :)@@mykiksulife
Hey! Thank you! To remove the chrome paint I use a solution with which I clean the oven of grease and contains: Aqua, Sodium Hydroxide, Isopropyl Alcohol, and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. It is cheap, like 2.5$ for 400 ml.
Thank you! For clear parts, I use Revell Contacta Clear (39609 part number) For other parts, I use Tamiya extra thin cement Tamiya cement or Revell Contacta Profesional Mini. But with this one, you have to be very careful because they damage the paint and varnish. I use them, especially for gluing interior parts.
I have a strange voice on the microphone that's why I don't do voice over on videos 😀 If you need more info about the build, you can leave a comment. Thanks!
First time I used it like this - gray primer 1200 from Mr Hobby and sprayed the color - Volkswagen Sea Blue GC-1466 from Gravity Colors. Unfortunately, the Sea Blue Color from Gravity damages the body's plastic. Second time: I bought a new kit and used the same color but with - 1 layer of black primer (Mr Hobby), 2 layers of gray primer - and 6 layers of color at 8-15 minutes between layers - 2 clear coats (varnish from Mr Hobby) The color is airbrush-ready and they recommend dark primer as a base. :)
Belo modelo, mas no carro real, os limpadores de parabrisa do modelo alemão de 1966, descansam do lado esquerdo... Descansavam do outro lado, até 1964.
@@SmallScaleFun I just started in scale model. Last time I did that, it was in the 70’ when I was just in early teen. I did few semi because at that time, I wanted to be a truck driver. The difference is that there were no airbrush. I have two cars. 1968 Mustang Shelby GT 500 and the 1970 Challenger. I find it complicated with different Colors for many small parts. I need lot of practice with the tiny brushes because can’t airbrush all.
Jak masz tak partaczyć, nie dotykaj modeli, bo ich dla Ciebie szkoda. Rób porządnie, albo wcale. Nie znasz pędzla wymiar 5/0 ? Musiałeś mazać wykałaczką?
The chrome window frames do not look very tidy, they are rather uneven. And this dark blue-grey color is not very nice too. Moreover dust particles and fluff is visible in several spots. Next time better......
I used the VW "Sea Blue" (GC 1466) color from Gravity Paints for this model. Is airbrush ready and needs to be sprayed on dark primer. But this is a second kit because on the first one, this "Sea Blue" color damaged the plastic body so be careful if you intend to use the color :)
Loved this. Reminded me so much of my Dad's 1966 Beetle in this very colour (petrol Blue) but right hand drive.
An iconic car for those years.
@@SmallScaleFun
today more iconic than ever... Look at the "design" of a Tesla. Pure shit.

Love this car. Thanks for sharing. Brings back memories for me.

A real joy to build this kit :)
I plan to build another one with more attention to details
neat that you added the seat belt detail. got this kit 10 years ago, still yet to start it X)
I plan to build another VW Beetle kit with a different color and pay more attention to details :)
@@SmallScaleFun the one in video is quite detailed already, clean paint and the chrome trims. I'm think about making mine into a van or so.
Very good with the brush,you have a fine hand!
:))
Thanks!
Very nice build, Really nice, clean work 😎👍
Thank you!
Is a nice model to build with lots of details :)

The finish on painted surfaces is superb. It looks like it's the real enamel on a full sized car.
Hey!
Thank you for your appreciation.
It was the second kit painted because at the first one Gravity Paints destroyed the body plastic :)
66 beetle, my first car. Miss it so much.
Hey!
Thank you for your comment.
Indeed, an iconic car.
Nice built, ive built it around 10 yrs ago.❤😊
Thank you!
A wonderful lit with lots of details that I just discovered :)
Excellent! I had a 1966 Beetle and it was the last Beetle I owned. Miss the simplicity and lack of technology that was the charm.
Thank you for your comment and appreciation!
A really beautiful and simple car :)
J'admire votre pacience e votre talent, 👋😊👍
Thank you!

over 21,5 Million sold Beetles in the world, a lot of them still running, designed by Ferdinand Porsche. The Wirtschaftswunder on four wheels.

@@joeyo5952 yep, from Aoshima VW Beetle 1303 S, kit numer 06130 :)
I'm doing the exact same model as a tribute build, what color was your body?
Hey!
The body color is " VW Sea Blue" - GC 1466 - from Gravity paints on gray primer.
Beautiful build. What glue do you use after the painting?
Thank you!
For clear parts, I use Revell Contacta Clear (39609 part number)
For other parts, I use Tamiya extra thin cement Tamiya cement or Revell Contacta Profesional Mini.
But with this one, you have to be very careful because they damage the paint and varnish.

Looks cool 👍
Thank you!
I like the color :)
