Thank you for this video I’m happy your building a box kit and not more high end resin kits.

[@ravevolution]

I made this kit years ago when i was first release by Revell for a cousin of mine who got it as a gift. He was too scarred to try and build it, so I went ahead and did it for him. I was a intermediate builder at the time. He loved the finished product and still has it to this day on display. The green paint color I found was available by testors in spray can, so went with that. The decals if I remember were pretty much the same as now, didn't match up on point for screen accuracy. But I loved the interior with the roll cage and NOS bottles and so on. Seeing this build brings back the enjoyment I had. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming parts.

[@AresGodOWar]

Wow thats nuts, I just bought the Fast and Furious Mitsubishi Eclipse AMT kit a week ago. I did some research. It is 1000x better than the Revell. I just got back into making model cars after a 10 year break, I'm into the F&F line right now, I have OCD so I only do 1/25th scale. Because that's the scale I did before I stopped. I been looking for the Mitsubishi Lancer, But they are very rare and people want $200 on ebay I can't afford that lol. Right now I have the Eclipse, Yenko Camaro and Dom's Charger in primer, Getting ready for paint, I did the Supra and 350z a long time ago, But just touched them up a little last week. I'll probably get Brian's Red Ford Lightning work truck next. You have made me a lot better at making them, Thank you for all the advice.

[@milfordh.mercado2787]

So you are doing the fast and furious movie cars okay then if you're building any of the early cars from the franchise then what about dom's chevrolet chevelle in fast 4.

[@AresGodOWar]

@@milfordh.mercado2787 Yeah that's a really nice one, I haven't did that body style Chevelle yet either, I didn't even think to do it. Thank you

[@milfordh.mercado2787]

@BlackPanther-th4un No problem, i want to suggest going with the revell kit as that one has better chassis for you to detail and a good engine compartment to show off the engine (btw the kit i am saying is the glue version over the snap-together version) as amt kit might be decent in 1/25 scale if you're looking at matching with the line but remember the amt one chassis is okay except its not really accurate per say with compartment being mostly open unlike revell's kit was much closer to the real car so with that help giving by me i have to go see you later.

[@AresGodOWar]

@@milfordh.mercado2787I didn't wanna do 2, Even though it would be cool but expensive, Would you do the one in Gray primer he is racing Brian in the 4th movie, Or the Red with black strips one in the after the credits of the 1st movie, Where is he talking about living his life quarter mile at a time ?

[@milfordh.mercado2787]

@BlackPanther-th4un Hmm...🤔🤔 i think the gray one is the best choice to do as it relates to dom's going after bad guys with revenge while brian's is undercover picking an R34 for the job.

[@Jnn-ef5zd]

Finally, You’re making Brian’s Eclipse Because of the color of the car, the appearance in the movie was impressive….

[@frasergeraghty9140]

So happy you've posted a video of this, just doing one my self, first ever go,

[@bobastu]

I owned a 95 Talon TSi. This is a 95 Eclipse. But the front headlights are from a 97+ as are the round reverse lights for the rear bumper.

[@erickalmeidanewlands2030]

Very nice bro! Where is the part 2!?

[@theintake8961]

Looking good! I enjoy your step by step narration. Thanks for the video 😎👍

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Nice work Tom, looking great especially with all the modifications and extra bits added. Looking forward for Part 2.

[@brandondrescher2182]

Awesome build so far. Love the F&F builds and good to see one after a long time. Look forward to the next part.

[@45degreesmodelling]

Looks great so far. Looking forward to see how this turns out.

[@Runway_Models1987]

I have been waiting for this! I love your F&F builds.

[@ScaleModelBuilder1]

Awesome build! I am watching your channel since 2016. I learned a lot from you. Never imagined that I can start my own KZbin channel.

[@nando03012009]

So this is a re-re-re-re-release? Lol got it! All jokes aside. Great video as usual

[@KarlScaleModeling]

That's looking awesome there Tom, lovely work and I appreciate your effort to be as accurate as possible. But as you've said, it's not easy and reference not always helps. Once again, super well done 👍🏼👍🏼

[@lowerlower8630]

Good day, dear author! If you don't mind, can you tell me what equipment you use for filming, camera, tripod, etc.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Iphone. Desk clamp, phone mount

Looks like an absolute dog of a kit. Interested to see what you can do with it

[@Naztalgic]

ohh wow this is nice!

[@syjeddryan2838]

Can't wait 😻

[@adamn5821]

I heard they used Kawasaki green. If I remember right that is what Craig Lieberman said. It looks great.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Ah that could be. The supra was a lambo color. I might be wrong

[@KiraEJ2]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel you're right

[@adamn5821]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel you are correct. That orange on the Supra was a Lambo color. Btw, I wasn't hating. The model looks amazing. You do great work on your models! I enjoy seeing you work on these things. I look forward to your future projects. Take care.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

@@adamn5821 no problem👌

[@mogumaro]

hi this looks amazing! i was wondering how you would usually go about getting rid of dust that falls in your clear coat. would you ever sand and reapply the clear coat again? thank you!

[@scalemodelfrenzy]

Very intrigued with this build. So far you are doing an amazing job. Can you share what that was that you used on the roof scoop? Some type of filler

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I shared it in the video. Its tamiya light curing putty

[@scalemodelfrenzy]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel sorry I guess I missed it thank you though

[@modelcar1589]

Cool 😎

[@davegoose]

Ever since you did the unboxing of the Fast and Furious stuff I have been waiting for these videos. I have built this kit, I am assuming you are using aftermarket wheels and tires, the ones from Revell are way way too small.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Correct

[@Jemoms]

You are right to make the kit the way you want and you enjoy, if not, it is not a hobby anymore. I have the same kit, and I would like to make a stock eclipse gsx, do you think it is the way to go using this kit ?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

This could be a goo base, i think there are stock bumpers includes, but not the side skirts, It all depends on what they need to look like in the end. Plus i don't think there are other eclipse kits( yes the AMT version, but thats pretty much the same)

[@Jemoms]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel yes but the stock bumper included is not the one I am looking for. I want the one with included lights in it. Don't know if it is the gst or gsx front bumper. Anyway, you are right, it is the only kit available so let's give it a try

[@Vytautasrusas]

what time you will post part 2 of this build?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

When its ready

Are you have build danny yamato civic?

The green for the eclipse was a Kawasaki green

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Yes. I got it wrong

[@cadetanner475]

What type of light source did you use to dry the Tamiya curing putty? I purchased some, and it recommended uv or fluorescent lighting. After it dries, wipe down with lacquer thinner and then sand. Is this the process you used?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I use a UV flashlight

[@cadetanner475]

Thanks for the reply and would you mind sharing a link to the type flashlight you used?

[@gabrielaragon458]

Actually the original color of this car is the old kawasaki green

[@AresGodOWar]

Do you happen to know why, There really aren't many nice foreign super cars, Like Lamborghini, Ferrari and others, Aren't made in 1/25th scale, It seems like mostly the American cars are 1/25th ? It sucks for someone like me that only does 1/25th scale, It just looks stupid having a Lambo look the same size and a charger.or GTO

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

No idea really. I just know us kit makers use 1/25, and the rest does 1/24 I personally don’t care about the small difference in size

omg je bent gewoon Nederlandsss
