[@Errowl31]

12:08 "It's OK to make mistakes with your hobby as long as you are having fun !!!!!!!!" Amen ! Great job

[@hpiguy]

It's all about fun!

[@rogerward3185]

I need to remember that when I'm a the bench. Heck, I just need a sign!

[@od1452]

The Scout was one of the best 4x4s ever made. Nice build.

[@scottalley590]

Love the build Chris! Our family farm had two International Scouts as farm vehicles. Fond memories of riding in the back around the farm in those while growing up. Gonna have to find me one!

[@hpiguy]

Good times, thanks for watching Scott!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Wow! Another one of my favorite model i did back in 1978! Awesome! I just wish i still have them now! Great built! Cool😎👍

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! You can always buy these reissues and start over!

[@carpenter1138]

hey Chris - I own that exact Scout!!. - a '77 same model/color everything... You'll be interested to know that the original carpet still in it is Green Paisley. True 70's colors. not fully restored but pretty amazing. love it so much I bought 2 of the models and was happy to find your demo - Good work you really got the details and colors right!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for the info!

[@hishamaziz3282]

Turned out really, really nice.. I love how you always make everything look so easy :) Cheers from Egypt!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Hisham! What's the model scene like in Egypt?

[@NekoPink]

I FINALLY got my hands on this today!!😍😍😍 gonna put it together and paint it after the one my dad had when I was a kid!

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy!

[@dannymontoya9469]

I've had great success stripping chrome with plain old Coca-Cola. Just soak a day or two. Chrome disappears leaving bare plastic. Dig your channel, love the builds👍

[@hpiguy]

Never tried soda, interesting.

[@40belowful]

good idea:)

[@maxbrandt6]

Your International offroad Scout turned out great, looks to be a real fun kit!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Max!

[@brianpothen8651]

Very cool, I just picked one up today. I'm doing mine in white. So far it is looking very good. Really enjoy your videos. Keep em' coming!!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! Enjoy your kit!

[@JohnDoe-uh8wm]

Damn! That’s a very nice built! Best so far ! I’ve got a plan to make it rc, could you please tell me it’s wheelbase size? And revell baja bronco as well ? Thank you

[@aaronvadovic4023]

Very nice work, an absolutely gorgeous truck! The only problem I found with the amt scouts are the front ends. I noticed that the grill surround at the top need to be sanded out flat. And the lip at the front underside of the hood needed to sanded out and the hood flattened out to look right. I don't know why Amt did it, but they made the hood too round at the front. It's an easy fix, and the results will greatly improve the look of the model.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Aaron!

[@40belowful]

I noticed that too:)

[@richardbates2367]

304,345, and 392 other than the 4cyl in the scout in the 70's was almost the only options except the Nissan based diesel

[@scifimodelshop]

just picked up this kit at hobby lobby, I spent my youth duck hunting with one of these ! dogs rode in the back and had a tow bar on the bumper on the front. My paint scheme going to be cameo with duck reeds

[@hpiguy]

Sounds fun, you'll enjoy it!

[@williamtuton6178]

From that version came the scout terria pickup version it was the same size but had a half cab top. Mostly with 300cubic" straight 6 4.speed 4×4 but it hardly ever shows up the pickup version.

[@JohnJohnson-qg2ub]

Cool build there chirs, not use to seeing clean truck like that one. Still like yur weathering just alittle bit more! Really nice color got todo a rig in them colors. Well thanks again buddy.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching John!

[@chopperbaldwin610]

That is a great looking build, you make building models look so easy. Keep up the great work and have a great day.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Chopper!

[@chopperbaldwin610]

I just picked up this kit, it looks like it should be a fun build. Thank you

[@hpiguy]

Very nice, enjoy!

[@davidking8968]

Scout looks great.very nice with the orange on it,my freind i worked with in 86 had a white one.i thought is was cool.great job.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you David! I feel left out that I've never seen one of these in person, ever.

[@egyptian316]

Did International paint those motors red like that? Showing my ignorance here, but I had thought since International was using AMC engines that the blocks would have been painted blue like AMC used in it's own cars. Great looking kit!

Very cool kit glad to see it back out must have lol great review and build Chris

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jeff!

[@sumiix]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the scout had IH red on the valve covers, wonder why they made them chrome in the kit

[@hpiguy]

Could be, I'm sure no expert on it.

[@ralphwilliams2396]

Nice build u making them look better that 1:1 models

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot Ralph!

[@davidking8968]

[@charlespalavros5908]

Looks GREAT love old scouts the 345 is a work horse

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Charles!

[@colinstractorvids3163]

Could you do a tutorial on how to do the rubber around the windows? I’ve tried before but it keeps turning out bad.

[@hpiguy]

Watch more of the recent videos.

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Awesome kit and build Chris!

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Sir!

[@smokinjoe3117]

Great review and build up of a real classic. I really like the paint scheme you went with.

[@jalisiencecuriel6577]

Nice model...hello from México!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Ramon, hello back!

[@maxbrandt6]

I was just looking at this exact kit yesterday at Hobby Lobby and debating in mind but they jack up their prices at bit too much, they make me want to open a proper hobby shop like to ones in Japan!

[@phantomshtter]

You have no idea how tough it is to keep a hobby shop afloat these days.

[@richardarios5706]

Question how did you strip the chrome off and it came out sharp 👍👍

[@hpiguy]

I usually just paint over it with primer but if need to remove it I use Super Clean.

[@projectbuildsscalemodels2758]

Thankyou for sharing this great build, its all about having fun and learning from mistakes 👍👍 have a good day

[@hpiguy]

Thanks you are correct!

[@ronnybogaerts3359]

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Ronny!

[@TonysRcTechboom]

@@hpiguy your welcome my friend

[@johngrubb1590]

Very nice i do like the International it's a cool truck.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you John!

[@headrusch2926]

Great job, my grandfather used to own one of these. Also can you build an s10 or blazer please?

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Ethan. If there is a recent release of either and I can get my hands on it it will get a build up. :)

[@Toppervision1]

I sure like the way that came out. Yea, I didn't know that version existed either. Very cool!

[@hpiguy]

When I heard that the Scout was being repopped I thought it was the hard top. This was a cool surprise when I saw the box art.

[@williamtuton6178]

That particular model scout had the 304 engine.

[@samuelvasquez8170]

Did you hand paint the future onto the seats or did you spray it on?

[@hpiguy]

I brush it on in this case. For doing the entire body I'll usually airbrush it on in a thick coat.

[@moparmikesr]

Well done a really neat kit turned very nice thanks

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Mike!

[@colleena755]

Very nice build!

[@richardbates2367]

I wish one of companies would make the 71-79 ih 1100-1310 pickup truck kit?!

[@RcNickster709]

WOW .. It came out great and looks amazing.. Thanks for sharing.. Thumbs up.. :)

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Nick!

[@blkft]

I have the older AMT/ERTL International Scout II. Looks I may pick this one up too. :)

[@blkft]

Well,,, I finally picked one of these up. :))

[@ModelCarMinion]

Nice quick build, looks good.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@charlie418791]

Nice and clean. As usual.👍

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Charlie!

[@HowardCohen24]

Nicely done! FYI...the product is simply 'Super Clean'...the 'Castrol' name was removed a few years ago when the product was sold to another company :)

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Howard!

[@jgutz45]

Awesome job👍🇺🇸

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Joe!

[@mikewazowski865]

do you ever use putty's to fill in panel gaps or to modify the cars body and if so what do you recommend?

[@hpiguy]

If there is ever a gap that bugs me, I usually fill it with Squadron putty, because I have two tubes of it. Most putties are just fine so buy what's available to you. Lots of folks use automotive filler putty from the auto stores. Works great from what I've seen.

[@mikewazowski865]

hpiguys Workshop do you have a video that shows how to create a rust effect

[@chassegallerie2910]

I like how it turned out. I hope they re-release the stock version of the Scout II soon. You said you didn't use paint for the front lights, but I didn't understood what it was. Was it your paint pen? Also, were some of the part on the bent tree warped? Finally, I just love your attitude. Keep it up! ^^

[@hpiguy]

For the lights I used a silver pencil. For the buttons on the bed I used a silver paint pen. The trees themselves were warped but the parts on them were straight. Thanks for watching!

[@johnwilliams7102]

My-T-Fine Well done sir

[@Red-rl1xx]

Looks great!👍

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Red!

[@tomsscalegarage1972]

Great build man.

[@samuelvasquez8170]

Another great build

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Sam!

[@charliesmodels647]

Great Job on the international scout.It feels like you preorder all the new kits that just released great job again

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Charlie! I try to get my hands on as much new stuff as I can. :)

[@davidpayne4315]

A build like this makes me think about mud bogging

[@munchkinmodelingman72GAM2]

Great. LOL.....yet another awesome kit I need to get.

[@hpiguy]

Get three or four! Or one. Have fun!

[@munchkinmodelingman72GAM2]

You review great kits

[@ernesthardy3790]

Can u build more models

[@hpiguy]

Yes, I can.

[@ernesthardy3790]

Wen

[@hpiguy]

I have literally hundreds of model builds on my channel and a new one each week.

[@ernesthardy3790]

Wen u gonna build a new one like ur builds it teaches me stuff I build them to

[@bthull62]

My cousin had a SSII in high school. He is kicking himself for selling it. They were a rare version of the Scout.

[@hpiguy]

I never even knew it existed until I saw this kit. I think it's cool.

[@modelbergingstruck]

Nice video 👍

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@ernesthardy3790]

Wen u gonna build another model

[@hpiguy]

Stop asking, it's not going to make it happen faster. Videos come up about once per week. You can always go watch the older build videos.

[@projectbuildsscalemodels2758]

the engine is beautiful

[@ericverpeten4249]

nice build sir ,

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Rik!

[@richardbates2367]

I don't think I have seen a true ss model or a chrome grille truck and the engine option is usually orange for the early 70's from the mid 60's but til the end its ih Farmall red

[@richardbates2367]

I guess it had to do like gm and the early sbc is red orange and the true Chevy orange people paint every sbc years regardless is a bright orange there's almost no red tint to it and I had two low mileage L6 250 engines a 68, and a 74 and they plainly showed the difference in pigment especially after I cleaned up and my uncle repainted the 68 250 L6 since it was his truck when I helped him put it together a 79 Chevy c20 Scottsdale

[@emersonpedro3944]

[@hpiguy]

Yeah, sort of the way stuff like Revell Germany is hard to get here and silly expensive.
