Great review James!!!! Love this body design. Z4 coupe. Would be Great to see the builds side by side. Thanks for sharing

Cool kit, but I'm sure it is very expensive. Your previous build looks awesome.

Awesome

What a very cool kit. Looking forward to watching you build it👍

It's certainly a nice looking kit, but it's a BMW Z4 and I am not a fan - regardless of the colours it comes in. I just wish someone would make a Liberty Walk BMW i8 - either curbside kit like this one or transkit for the Revell kit. If you know of anyone who does one - please share!

What a awesome shine sir very very cool thank you for sharing your process

Thanks

Cool kit James 😊

Nice kit and great unboxing there James, thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Well above my skill level!

Man, that looks amzing. I would love to give one of these a go but no way I would start my decal experiences on something like this. haha. I look forward to another build, no question.

Very interesting model kit. Amazing detail in this kit. The decal sheets are incredible. Thanks for sharing.

That is one mean looking BMW. Your work is amazing

Wow she looks awesome

What paint and cleat do u use. If I touch my clear like u r I would have a disaster. Great video

Another great video. What kind of brush is that?

👍🏽👍🏽thank you for this tip. I kept getting horrible results trying to spread the putty with a popsicle stick I snipped flat onto a 50 ford shoebox I grafted the custom front clip onto. I went out & grabbed some of these brushes & it seems like it presses just the right amount of putty into the seams for an easy job sanding smooth. 😎

Thanks for posting this.

Nice build 😁......i would put racing strips and numbers instead of the anime decals......thats just me 😝

Awesome video James! That sure is a lot of decals... 🤯 Cool car and all the extra stuff but it would take me forever... Lol Thanks for sharing! LLAP 🖖

Thank you very much I'm still not too thrilled about decals I'd rather paint but your tips were appreciated

Gotta love chibi Miku!

Hi James, love the video! Sanding is done after priming and clear coat but what about sanding after painting? I didn't see it in your video and am curious if that's a step to take or why not. Thanks, Andy

This video has been so helpful for me, I feel much more confident now gluing parts together. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing; Is the decal applied on a Gloss Coat? or directly on the painted body before Gloss/Clear coat?

So the cremadine adhesive...what one on amazon is the same as you show?

Nicely done James, that's the way I clean my airbrush too. Only times I take it fully apart is when I use 2K Primer or 2K Clear. Because of the hardener, I like to be sure it's fully cleaned using the appropriate brushes and needle. Thanks for sharing.

👍👍👍👍

Great episode guys!!!!!

Nice Airbrush tip! Thanks for sharing and have a great week. -David

Thanks for the nice tutorial!

Great tutorial.you have some very insightful videos

Thanks for the tip.

Nice tips but i have another "procedure" of airbrush cleaning and it can be good tips,when i'm finish with sprayin i also same as you cleanin airbrush but after cup cleaning i remove top crown then nozzle and nozzle clean up in detail,after nozzle,i remove needle in opposite direction of you,so if you push needle in direction forward,you will with needle pull more paint(less cleaning of airbrush body) and after needle is clean i put it back in airbrush in front side,first dully part in airbrush,with that move you will prevent damaging sharp part of needle.I hope everybody can understand what i want to explane,English is not my 1st. language 😊

other tutorial talking mixing 70% white vinegar 30% water, instead those softer like Mr Mark, is it really ok ? for injekted decals with a clear coat, isn't vinegar to agressive ?

That's simply an efficient, straight forward way to clean your airbrush!

Thanks for this, this is what I do and I didn't even understand I was doing it right! What thinner are you using to clean for acrylics? I am using rubbing alcohol for cleaning then a final spray with mr. color leveler 400.

I’ve heard that backwashing, as demonstrated in the video, will cause the seal inside the airbrush to deteriorate (or blow out) after time. Is that true? I don’t use that practice for that reason. I’m curious what your thoughts are. Thanks.

I remember how long it took me to build up the courage to try airbrushing. I forgot that the only way to get good at something is to do it, whether you fail or not. That's part of learning.

Thanks James and 100% correct about excuses. One tip I started using from MCV Matthew said he did a shot of carb cleaner then thinner; I did my last 4 panit jobs that way. Brush shot perfect its the same one you used. Quite pleased with it.

Absolutely right! Been doing it that way for years and never had a problem

James thank you for sharing. My father showed me how he clean the guns we used when he paint pretty much the same technique.

I started air-brushing about 9 months ago. I've been cleaning my gun similarly, however, I've never thought of backwashing.....I will be doing from now on!!

Whew, glad to know I've been doing it right. Don't want to embarass myself by doing it wrong. I have been criticized for being able to clean my airbrush quickly.

Thanks for the tutorial, James. I'll try doing that when I start airbrushing.👍

it is nice to know my methods are similar to the greats out there! I do tend to use cotton swabs instead of paper towel but I believe the premise is the same. Nice, short and sweet with real solid info! Thanks.

I built my own 500cfm spray booth so I see no need for the little bottle cleaners all the fumes are vented very well..... My go too is backflushing the airbrush, this also works with full size automotive gravity feed spray guns... I also like to use 3m spray gun cleaner available at harbor freight $8.99 for the backflushing it is a much better cleaner that lacquer thinner or acetone....but even with backflushing you still every few months need to give the airbrush a good strip cleaning and lube with paint safe spray gun lube...not hard at all .....the control and accuracy the airbrush gives you while painting is well worth the time to maintain it..and it will last you a life time I have air brushes and spray guns that are over 30yrs old still work like new.

Good commentary around the 3D printing.

When printing something this thin .... U need to support the shit out of the edges facing the plate... You can also print windows with clear resin .... I print body's for rc cars a lot

Very cool, always something to learn. I myself have never used the cotton swabs but certainly use the brush technique. It is specially good when pushing those decals into those panel lines. Certainly not a very easy decal to lay down. Patience is a virtue here.....
