ALL NEW Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 3.2 1/24 Scale Model Kit Build How To Paint Detail Decals Revell

[@titanary68]

I will have to admit I have been building models for many years and these days I air brush everything but this channel taught me using traditional spray paints work just as well or better than the tiny over priced Model Master or Testor spray paints I thought I had to use coming up in this hobby.

[@acrowe2512]

I have watched a lot of Chris's builds and agree with you. At this point I use spray cans, like Rustoleum 2x to prime all the parts, then I airbrush the colors I want on (mainly the body parts, and lately with acrylics) and hand paint the rest where masking all of these little parts would be a total pain. It's working out pretty well but I did have to "cut down on the coffee" so my hands would be more trustworthy while hand painting. Chris is blessed with a very steady hand and I realized how much of an advantage that gives you so you don't have to mask and airbrush every little thing. Also it helps to have some very tiny brushes and a good set of magnifiers, especially at my age. Well worth the investment. Thanks to HPI Guys I've also discovered that you can use cheap craft paints to airbrush even the body with. A couple of coats of "future" floor polish makes them look just as good as enamels in my opinion, so even that's fairly cheap. Yeah, ya don't have to spend a fortune on model paint, nor a fortune on spray cans either. I'm only talking cars and trucks though, not replica military models.

[@hertzair1186]

I use rustoleum cans as well….works great.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC REVIEW AND BUILD BROTHER 100% PERFECT. I would like to take a moment and yell reALLY LOUD THANK YOU REVELL AND ROUND2 FOR THE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JOB THEY ARE DOING BY DRIVING OUR HOBBY FORWARD with some of the most amazing new models, reissues, decals, and products I have seen in 35yrs of being a modeler. What a wonderful time to be a modeler !!!! As always brother Thank you for sharing your builds and reviews and PLEASE KEEP EM COMING. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE it's a hobby and it's suppose to be FUN

[@YouTube4Rudy]

So I picked this model up in hopes to build and send it off to my dad for Father’s Day. Thank God I ran into this video! You make it so easy with your steady surgeon hands. Hopefully I could pull this off. In the 1980s, when Porsches were reasonably priced, my dad had a 1972 911T Targa and later sold it for a 1978 911SC, so I’m sure he would love this 1984. I personally owned a 1974 911 as well, so yeah, this model will be perfect. Thanks again for this video, you earned yourself a new subscriber, I look forward to watching more and learning more!

Very nicely done Sir ! 👍

During this whole carona deal I was able to kick a Dunkin donuts habit, because it closed and found this channel while stuck at home. And now started building models again thanks

[@hpiguy]

Cool, keep having fun!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

1975 I bought my FIRST NEW 911 Targa. My next was a coupe. Loved them both. I'm now 75 and I love this build even more... Sometimes Thank You ain't enough - this is one of 'em.

Thanks as always RA!

Great job. Excellent guide to building. I just bought this for my son. He just bought a real one in the same red. My daughter in law asked me to build it for her to give him. Can you share the color/paint/pen details. You mentioned polishing do you polish the glass and body. Thanks. I learned a lot

Lovely build Chris

Awesome job on the Porsche

[@davidhinkson8856]

Looks great and seems to go together well without any major issues.

[@webvideofan]

Love it, Chris! The Porsche 911 is definitely one of the Big 3 poster cars of the 80’s. I’d definitely build this one… and if I do, I’ll have your video to reference! 😉👍🏻

[@boss9mustang404]

Why do you like the Rusto paint? I've tried it after discovering your channel and I really liked it aswell but what made you start using it?

[@urbanurchin5930]

He did a video on this a few years ago. The main reason was the cost. The small Testors ( or similar ) rattle cans usually run about $6 to $11 each. You can buy a large can of very similar quality and coverage at Wal-Mart or other discount stores, for about $3.99. As you can see - he gets good results.

[@boss9mustang404]

Yep. I watched that video and that's how I learned to paint a car with Rusto. Good stuff but modeling snobs get pissed off when you get show-quality shine with Primer, Paint, then Clear instead of Insane wet-sanding, then 4 super thin coats of primer, all wet sanded then 5 coats of paint, all wet sanded then clear, then polishing and buffing and all that shit(those numbers were exaggerated but you get the idea). sure they look AWESOME after all that but I aint got time fo' dat!

[@ericschultz1073]

I ask if you can build the polar lights green hornet model. I totally want to see you build that. And even add green lights to it.

[@petermerz2704]

Very nice Chris! I didn’t like the red ( neither did my wife ) until the final reveal! Looks fantastic! Love the kit, absolutely lovely! Happy Days! 😎

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Great build mate 👌

[@urbanurchin5930]

I have a Fujimi ( Japan ) 911 Carrera 2 in my stash. It is basically a curbside and is not nearly as nice as this Revell example. The one positive on the Fujimi kit is that the body comes pre-painted and has a very nice finish. Still, I would rather have the engine and suspension detail of this Revell kit. A little trick that I often use : When I paint vehicles red - I use a brush to paint the backsides of the tail light housings white - that way, the color of the tail light lens does not get lost in body color.

[@michaelupton3107]

Wow I never knew that😊👍

[@nickpodushak9271]

Geez, nice work. How do you fix a paint snafoo like painting the black vents on the red rear hatch? I would be so scared of my hands shaking and marking the red.

[@hpiguy]

Craft paints clean off with water if you make mistakes. You can also mask it off and then hand paint it.

[@rocketsock4297]

Very cool model and lovely build.

[@CharlesFlahertyB]

I used that same Krylon Red paint on an AMT 1/32, 63 Corvette and found that paint VERY soft, even after a week of curing.

[@strivingx67]

You are a master at these quick builds! This rocks!!! This looks like a beautiful kit. I am amazed at the vents on the back being true through. Also love the turning front wheels, always a bonus! BTW those tires look awesome. Great job buddy!

About four years ago Chris did a review on a very cool spray booth, you just have to scroll down through his old videos to find it. Good luck 👍🏻

[@richardbennett8678]

What does hpi guys stand for?

[@PreferToBeAnonymous]

Hi Chris, first off, beautiful work on this kit! I e seen a few of your videos and you do some really great work! Question for you… I’m currently building the Fujimi 930 enthusiast kit #2 and, in the last, I’ve always painted my 911 chassis flat black. Now that I’m older and more into authenticity, I want to paint this one the body color, as I know that’s how Porsche did it. How did you get that look on your’s that gives it that matte look that you can still see the black through it? Almost “weathered”, for lack of better terms. Being that you use spray cans, I’d imagine I can do it since I use spray cans and don’t have an airbrush. Thanks for your time!

[@hpiguy]

I show the painting process on video in the spray paint section. That's how I do it. Thanks!

[@nielschristianwithmller138]

You have got a new glue? It's not Tamiya anymore? Nice build 👍

[@devinrussell493]

There is a convertible sports car;in Grand Theft Auto Vice City on Playstation2,that looks just like this completed model of the Porsche 911Carrerra 3.2 Targa.I still have a Playstation2 mini;and I still have Grand Theft Auto Vice City,that I occasionally play. Aaahhhhh;good nostalgic memories.

[@hotshot409]

Looks like sport recaros from the other seats options. Too bad they didn’t put in the 85- 4 spoke wheel and only the 3 point 84 one ( old fujimi kit did ). Also would have loved a tail as they added the front spoiler which only comes with the rear. Other than that, I can build a mini version of my car!

[@ronniemitchell4920]

Love ur channel, just wondering do you Sand the primer before you paint the body's? Also do you cut and buff.

[@hpiguy]

Nope, spray and pray. I don't do any of that polishing and sanding stuff. I did a video on how easy I like to make my models "painting with cheap spray cans" it's on the channel home page.

[@hailie-295m6]

soo pretty I the look nice. . .

[@p40f20]

NICE!!!!!! Too bad they don't come with an optional whale tail.

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Ive grey one when we got them b4 xmas

[@acrowe2512]

Really nice kit, love the engine especially. I was amazed that you could build so much of it before paint. Nice shine too. "Future" I assume? How many coats? Did you polish it as well? I really didn't think the front wheels would still be steerable in the end but they were! Amazing. So did you chrome the headlight pans before putting the lenses in? I didn't see what you did with them. Sorry if I missed it, was cooking dinner as I watched.... You are a master builder.
