Thank you!

Hey! Thank you for your appreciation. It was the second kit painted because at the first one Gravity Paints destroyed the body plastic :)

Thank you for your appreciation. Nice kit to build :)

:)) Thanks!

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.

Hey! Thank you for your comment. Indeed, an iconic car.

Thank you! A wonderful lit with lots of details that I just discovered :)

Thank you for your appreciation!

Thank you!

Thank you!:)

Thank you! I like the color :)

Thank you! ❤❤❤

Beautiful kit, I start 2 and finish 1 :)) The last one is damage and plan to build a diorama with it

Thank you for your comment and appreciation! A really beautiful and simple car :)

Thank you! Nice model to build with lots of details

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.

Thank you!🙃

@@SmallScaleFun is there any super beetle 1303? 😊✌️

@@joeyo5952 yep, from Aoshima VW Beetle 1303 S, kit numer 06130 :)

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 :)@@orlandofarcas5610

An iconic car :)

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. :)

Thank you! The color is "Volkswagen Sea Blue" from Gravity Colors GC- 1466

Thanks

Thank you!!🙃♥🙃♥

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 :)

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.

Hey! The body color is " VW Sea Blue" - GC 1466 - from Gravity paints on gray primer.

Thank you!:)

@@SmallScaleFun really nice job, thank You for sharing! ⭐

Also, thank you for your appreciation, means a lot to me because takes a lot of work in painting and finishing a model kit.

@@SmallScaleFun 👍👍👍

Hey! You need to try at the local hobby store or on big retailers like Amazon that send to Brasil.

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment!

Pour la France, peut-être. C'est le modèle pour l'Amérique du Nord, et les phares blancs sont ok.

From local hobby shops.

Yep, an easy model with many details :)

@@SmallScaleFun Just kidding :)) very nice work. Congratulations

:)))))) Thank you!

Cześć! Nie miałam tak małego pędzelka, ale kupię go w przyszłości Dziękuję! :) *I use google translate

5/0? I’ve got all the way down to 20/0

:)) Need to buy new brushes.

Yep, you're right :) And I had to give them a more suitable shape, with rounded corners. I don't know what was in my head :)

@@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.

Thank you for your comment. Yep, you are right :) Try to improve my skills with each model build

Thank you for your comment, maybe on the next model :)
