Model Cars and Coffee - AMT's 2021 Ford Bronco Finished!
Not all paint jobs are great. This is one of them. It's good, but likely a combination of paint type, humidity, maybe even psi on the airbrush netted a paint job that looked like the Bronco got hailed on. I was able to correct most of the issues and overall, it's a neat kit. No engine, but you can always cut out the plate and install one of your choice.
Kit: AMT 2021 Ford Bronco First Edition
Paint: Tamiya LP-41 Mica Blue
Clear: Scale Finishes 2K clear
Airbrush: Grex Genesis xSi @ 20 psi

Model Cars and Coffee - AMT's 2021 Ford Bronco!
zhlédnutí 88Před 21 dnem
I've had this kit for about a year, a Model Cars magazine from July 2023 as a reference guide and figure now's as good a time as any to finish my Sunday coffee and get this one built. I still don't know what I will use for the body color, but we'll know come the next video! Hey! Want to swap shop cards or share pics of your builds for everyone to see?

Tamiya's Toyota GR Supra - Full build!.
zhlédnutí 88Před 28 dny
This is a MUST HAVE, MUST BUILD kit. Tamiya is well-known for its quality kits and this Supra is no exception. Body lines are awesome and in scale to the 1:1 sportscar, and it lend itself very well to paint detail, which is great since it's a curbside. All in all, I really loved building this kit, and plan on doing another in a different color some day down the road. Enjoy! Paint: Scale Finishe...

First entry in Jason Hanscom's 2nd Annual Street Machine Group Build, I chose to build the MPC 1967 Streaker Vette. I built this one years back so was happy to see it re-released. It's not without its issues-lots of flash, very faint panel lines on the doors and head lamps, but overall it built up decently. I resisted the urge to radius the rear wheel wells, but I had to clip the pins for the w...

Another great kit from Revell, this. The 1971 Boss 351 goes together very well, needed no glue to hold the body to the chassis (the fit is Tamiya-level tight!) although I did have bad chrome on the underside of the front bumper and the black decal for the hood outline fell apart when I tried to apply it (it is better to cut it into three pieces, use the masking template in the kit instructions ...

Lot of great Mustangs gracing YT for this GB and hopefully you like this one as well. The kit builds well and if you're daring the tight engine bay would pop with wiring and fuel lines, for sure. Next Mustang I hope to do just that. I lowered the ride height by cutting the pin...

I have some subassemblies done and in paint, mostly Tamiya TS6 Matte Black, but other colors will soon follow. Tonight I spent about an hour prepping the body for paint using 3200 grit Micro Mesh pads, cleaned the body and off to the paint booth. I did have some issues with the paint flow but found out it was because I didn't have the nozzle tip tightened enough. Good experience for future airb...

Pick up this kit and build one for yourself! I also have a quick peek at one of my #Mustang60 entries, the Revell 1971 Mach 1 Mustang.

After two hours' wet sanding and polishing the paintwork came out really, really nice! I like the color a lot on this truck and can't wait to start putting the subassemblies together.

I then used Tamiya Fine Polishing Compound to bring up the shine and remote any remaining sanding scratches, then gave it ...

I can't wait to break in the Scale Finishes clear for the other paint jobs I have lined up, but for this build I went with Mr. Hobby/Mr. Color 346 Clear. From the jar it's thick, took a 1:3 or 1:4 mix with leveling thinner before I got it to where I was ready to spray. Took several coats, too, but again, practice, practice, practice, and I'll find that sweet spot of using the airbrush. You will...

    @kitbuilder3027 Před 7 dny

    Hi Dave, Sometimes we have to take the humidity into account when painting. Anything over 70% and you can have issues, usually it will just get milky white. I had that happen last month on a model that I was trying Duplicolor 1K aerosol on, and I wanted to put 5 coats on. My goal was to mimic a high dollar custom paint job from the 60's. So I shot 5 light coats giving a few minutes flash time and on the fifth coat I saw that the roof and the top of the fenders were getting milky. The humidity must have been a little high. I didn't panic. I took the body in the house and put it in my dehydrator for a couple of hours and the milky appearance disappeared. We live and learn. I haven't really posted anything for a while. I started going back and clearing bodies that I painted 6 or 7 years ago as part of an experiment with Testors and Tamiya rattle can paint. I do like the Duplicolor 1K extreme gloss aerosol clear. I have 2K clear, but if I can use the Duplicolor successfully outside in the summer, I will. 2K can be a little bit of overkill in my opinion for a model that doesn't have to be protected against more than dust bunnies. The Bronco is a neat build. I would probably opt for similar colors. Good luck on your next project. Larry Landis
