Nice vid. I built this kid around 1977-1978, I think. Loved Tamiya kits - always could count on quality when you opened the box. Yeah, those Tamiya catalogues were awesome! Wish I’d kept one.
Very nice looking build! Great idea for the nailhead😮 I'm really glad you did this video. I recently picked this kit up. It has everything except the main body piece. I was hoping it would look ok without it but I'm not so sure now😊
I like your paint choice. I did something similar with the Discovery Enterprise kit ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vIL0hfSfh9c.htmlsi=GF6xPwKpvyVNGBaz
He nice but the Classified Series is way better, head sculpt is way better and the rest of the details. They forgot the helmet in Classified Series 😂 Still a great action figure to collect. Good video 🔥
I liked the Super7 series when they first came out, because they looked like the original GIJOE cartoon. However, they’ve gotten cheap with them, after the first wave came out. With that being said, I agree now that the classified series is better, especially since they’ve been producing figures that look extremely close to the originals from the 80s.
@@modelandtoyworkshop Some of the first "futuristic" Classified Series Joes were criticized by many but when i took a look at figures like for example: Gun-Ho 🔥 the first one that came out with those realistic camo pants, the vest with the granades and metal color plus the metal color on boots, arm like a shield..... Man! is way better than the original classic goofy looking with blue vest and other stuff. I like when looks more realistic. I would add Rambo and The Punisher to the Classified Series 🔥
In the movie milliner went off the track and broke something on the front end. His competition gave and helped change the front end out, mpc made a model kit of it, I have pictures of the parts, I think the jaw breaker has the same frame and suspension, you probably already know, but model car mag has a article you can look up on line
Now you know they swapped the front axle with another car part of the way thru racing. During filming. thank you for the shout out. it's cool for me to see the steps your going thru and great work so far.
It’s funny you said that, lol because shortly after I put out that video, read a article in “Model Cars Magazine Forum” saying the same thing. So as you probably already know, I’ve already started the search.
This project may take me a while, I’ve been wanting to build one of these since I was kid. Usually I wing it on certain builds, but this one is different, I’m willing to put a little extra money into it.
@@hortonshotrodshop2003 can’t blame you there. I don’t think I could cut the seal off man. I have a couple NASCARs from the 80s, I can’t bring myself to open.
I really enjoyed your video 👍😎sounds a great project👍good luck with it and I hope you enjoy the research. I haven't seen the film in years.🤔. Best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
I built the original USA made kit years ago in the coupe version, I'd love to build it again although don't do Chinese kits. It appears there's a reduction in quality on some parts, etc.
