🚗🖌️ Building Volkswagen 1300 Beetle

[@corkcamden9878]

Very thorough; I really enjoyed your build. One of the most enjoyable videos I have had the pleasure to view. Thanks for your supply list. The music was enjoyable and unique in that it was not in the least annoying as is most soundtracks in build videos. I subscribed. Good health to you, Pablo! Cheers from the hills of Virginia! Cork

[@PabloModelkits]

Hi Cork! I really love your kind words I’m happy you found this video and suits your needs. Best regards from Barcelona 🥰

[@atsylor5549]

I just got this model in the mail this weekend. I’ll be building it soon. I really hop my paint job comes out as good as yours

[@PabloModelkits]

Thanks for this great observation. The secret is after 2 - 3 gloss varnish layers polish with 3000 sandpaper and then polish with polish paste. By the way enjoy the building, I'm sure you'll have as great results as mine.

[@jamesbird2231]

Fantastic work. Beautiful body prep, painting and polishing. Wonderful narration. Thanks for sharing!

[@PabloModelkits]

Thanks for both leaving feedback kind words 🥰

[@stephenhenion8304]

Lots of great ideas for assembly and painting this kit! Well Done 🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩

Most excellent job on the bug. Drive a real one, and you will have the time of your life, especially on Dallas freeways!

[@PabloModelkits]

Thanks for advice I will write in my todo list 😀

[@bobyoung1698]

I don't think I have ever seen a red as RED as this one - marvelous job! I used to ride to high school in a 1300. I rode in the back, engine six inches away, and cursed Ferry Porsche all the way.😉

[@PabloModelkits]

I really appreciate you feedback. Thanks!

[@od1452]

Thanks. I have a lot of fond memories of the old Beetle . I'll have to build one.

[@PabloModelkits]

Do it! You will enjoy building it 🙂

[@khart1961]

Mr. Pablo, just found and subscribed to your wonderful channel. Excellent painting and assembly. The 2mm tape to replace the fan belt was genius. Again sir really enjoyed the build and video, a true professional. Keep up the great work and happy I subscribed. Have a safe and healthy week. From Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

[@PabloModelkits]

Wooow so kind from you leaving this comment sir. Welcome to the channel! 🥰

[@TheLandofpain]

Pablo... I have been watching model builders on KZbin for the last 3 and a half years and I have to say THIS build is by FAR the best I’ve seen in that time! How you don’t have 100k subscribers is beyond me! Maybe if you re-edited this build to 3-10mins videos instead of 1-30min video, KZbin may feature it in people’s suggested videos. Cause like I said, I’ve been watching AND searching for good model builders to watch and I’ve NEVER seen your channel! I find that very strange. I watch Tom at “The Scalemodeler” and Chris on “HPI Workshop” all the time... hell, I’ve watched ALL there videos at LEAST 3 times apiece just in case I miss something. I sure with you did more cars but I’m subscribed now so hopefully you’ll feature more car builds in the future. Thank you for showing your talent! It’s really SOMETHING to watch!.... I’m gonna watch it again now, Thanks!

[@PabloModelkits]

Best review ever! I really appreciate it. I will take account of your recommendations and I will re-edit for better performance in KZbin. Comments like yours encourage me to keep it doing and doing it better. Truly thanks :)

[@supercededman]

Superb. Easily the best Beetle build I have seen. Congratulations

[@PabloModelkits]

Thanks ☺️

[@brianhanson9367]

Fabulous job. My first car was a red 69 bug. My task is clear!

Absolutly a masterpiece! Congratulation!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Jesus! This project is more elaborated than doing the real car!👌😂👍beautiful job! By the way! All beetles didn’t come from the factory with coil springs suspension! They all came with torsion bar suspension. That was more like a after market upgrade!

[@PabloModelkits]

Of the many beetles, the one made by Tamiya is the best.

[@PabloModelkits]

Tamiya is one of the best model kit brands.

[@corkcamden9878]

Pablo, I tried to edit my last comment but I couldn't get it to 'save'. It might have saved, but I did not see it. Anyway, I wanted to tell you the paint job you laid down is the best I've ever seen. Even after it had dried, the paint was so glassy, it appeared wet. Superb!

[@PabloModelkits]

Wowww! Many thanks I really appreciate your comment ❣️

[@philipleroux6790]

[@PabloModelkits]

Excellent your excellent 👌🏾

[@RB55able]

Very good video and easy to follow with a great soundtrack. Very inspiring. I haven't built a car model in many years; I usually build WWII armour. I spray only Tamiya acrylics with my airbrush. Is there a good clearcoat finish that comes in a spray can instead of mixing two parts as you did? Keep up the great work, Pablo! I've just purchased my '66 and will start working on it after seeing this.

[@PabloModelkits]

Hi RB55able, Many thanks for your positive feedback and points I really appreciate it. Regarding coating layer, there many options, till now this is the best I've used. In next modelkits I will go with Mr. Color GX Super Clear III, I've seen tutorials of master and this product looks promising. About spray can, personally a don't like using theme, are quite tricky to apply and be accurate but anyways depends on your ability. Again, thanks for good vibes that cheer me up to keep improving and share with you in the very best way.

[@mateod8949]

I have everything, the model, the tools but I don't have an airbrush and tamiya paints

[@PabloModelkits]

You can paint with other paint brands but no deal if you have no airbrush.

[@supercededman]

Just have fun. I don't have access to an airbrush either. You could go the route of doing a really weatherbeaten old car. Really thinned out acrylic paint with a broad brush would give a good result. The paint would no longer look polished, but even dirty and rusted. Steemgeezer and Sons have a wonderful video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmO2hnmebstjfrc This is excellent too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKOYentonN6kd5Y Tamiya spray cans will do a very good job, not as good as here but good nonetheless

[@williammcdorman6426]

Seriously, paint job is better than a original.

[@PabloModelkits]

Thanks 😊

[@RB55able]

Beautiful build. I had trouble doing the chrome accents on the body and windows. Yours look fantastic. Which masking tape did you use? Tamiya? Greetings from Canada.🇨🇦

@@PabloModelkits a beetle is all done on torsion bar suspension, so even if you put springs over the shocks on a real one, it would be pointless

Why you paint the chrome parts with horrible chrome paint?

[@PabloModelkits]

When I cut the chromed pars from the frame and removed molde excesses the original chrome was damaged and I had to paint again. It id so difficult to get a really chromed finish by painting with acrylics paint 😒

[@supercededman]

Also, priming with gloss black and then spraying with a high-quality chrome finish looks better than the 'chrome' parts in the kit. They shout 'plastic' chrome, I think. Well done!

[@BennyCFD]

Nice build.........Distilled water is a total KZbin myth. It makes absolutely no difference.

[@PabloModelkits]

depends on tap water you have and calcium level, but yes normally makes no difference.

[@e-kompaktfan393]

Ernsthaft, es gibt ohnehin viel zu vile VW Autos auf allen Straßen dieser Welt, warum oder weshalb nur muß man sich auch noch ein Modell vom VW Karren basteln und sich ins Regal stellen und auch noch stolz dies vorzeigen ? Das käme mir NIE in den Sinn sowas !!! Wenigstens die Revell und Tamiya Modelle sollten andere Marken sein, das wäre doch was .

[@PabloModelkits]

Quite deep reflection 🤔
