Hi recent subscriber, coming back to model car modelling after about 40 years, tools and techniques have changed a lot so this is very useful for me. Thanks very much.

I’m watching this series again as I build the ‘98 McRae version. My first major go at airbrushing.

[@jbellos1]

Fantastic Paul, format, Modelling skills and wonderful to follow. Tired of figure painting for a while, so I’ve ordered a Hasegawa 1/24 Williams F14. Enjoyed car modelling back in 90s. Nice to return and refreshing too. Best wishes to you my friend, Hugh.

[@mc_adventure_life1940]

Hi, absolutely new to this. Came over your videos, so I bought the Subaru, and thought I’d build it following you build videos on it, and learn that way. Fantastic videos, so I hope to make good progress. Bought a whole lot of paint and tools, even bought some stuff from you guys that should be on its way. Only different, I bought the 2001 Rally of Great Britain 🇬🇧 So, thanks for the great videos 👏

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Excellent hope you enjoy the build. Make sure to join our Facebook groups linked in the description

[@octanejimmy]

Cant wait to see all of this series. I think Im going to transition to cars. Planes have me just not interested at this point. Thanks Paul for all of your efforts to educate us with tips and tricks.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Jimmy, hope you like the series and yeah i did the same aircraft just were not interesting me anymore, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul

[@kylebowen2026]

Awesome. Can't wait for future videos as rally cars are what I'm interested in. Great work.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Cheers Kyle, thanks for the kind words, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul

[@minkles1330]

Thank you for this, I recently just bought this model kit and it's my first "Big Boy" kit haha.... I've done a few Airfix planes but always wanted to focus on cars. I've recently also purchased an I-BEAUTEE cordless airbrush, so we'll see how that goes. While I get everything prepped I'm gonna enjoy watching this, thank you again :)

[@ianjackson7515]

YES !!! - you said "Aggro" - haven't heard that since I was in school (in Bootle) in the 1970's !! Best from NZ

Hey Matt, cheers buddy, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul

[@BoJack_HorseFly85]

Awesome Paul! Still need to finish that Alfa 155 Martini DTM I started for your group build a few months ago, and these will certainly put me on the right track! The temperature got a little too hot for me to do modeling but I plan to get back into it once I am back from my holiday in Scotland! I am thinking about stripping back all the painting I did on the body so far for the Alfa, as I have the Apex now and I want to try and to a better job this time round. Thanks for the videos!

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Dan, yes you should strip it buddy and redo, hopefully see you back at it soon :)

[@alexb1340]

[@voodoonights1671]

I have this in the stash - so just ordered the paint! Cars are quite different from Armour and aircraft so am looking forward to this. :-)

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Excellent, its a good kit once you get past those annoying spot light covers, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul

[@nogginthenog2227]

Hi Paul, thanks for doing the new series, always good to see how other modelers build their models. The EMA glue is very toxic and poisonous if you breath it in so i hope you're wearing a respirator with organic vapor filters fitted or using the spray booth to extract the fumes. I'd hate to see you get ill.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Thanks ill be ok though ;) thanks for watching and commenting - Paul

Hey Jamie, cheers, sadly Sam only posts the odd picture on Ism facebook, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@spikeevans1488]

Great video. I really like your tutorials. One small criticism: I find the grid on the mat quite distracting, would much prefer a plain background. Thanks for your hard work.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Thanks for the feedback Spike, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul

[@GreyKnightSolo]

Hello Paul, just opened a box received from your shop with this car, sponges, buffers, etc. And starting to watch the series again, building along. A question - why do you prefer to polish back the plastic after removing mold lines vs the technics of scrubbing the whole car with 600 grid to help primer stick nicely?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey buddy, i polish it back to ensure any surfaces blemishes are gone then scrub the surface for primer :) thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@josefnejtr3401]

Great video , but i have question: what about re-scribing panel lines?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Yes i have done that before but only so it'll hold a panel line wash better, im not a fan of the way the wash looks though so dont do it anymore, thanks for watching and commenting - paul

[@paulbolton1071]

Hello I am a complete beginner and as I’m sure you can appreciate for a new comer it can be quite daunting to someone who wants to come into the hobby who knows nothing but also start correctly you are obviously a experienced modeller so your advice will be much appreciated I have just subscribed to your Chanel and hope to watch all your videos so my 4 questions are 1 what model kit car and scale would you recommend for a beginner such as myself to start with ? 2 Have you done a video for beginners showing step by step building a first timer kit ? 3 which model company do you recommend I purchase my first car from as good quality detail is important and finally 4 what equipment should a beginner buy to get him started ps I’d like to build British classic cars if possible Paul

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hi Paul. I missed your comment sorry buddy. Tamiya and any of the road cars would be my choice. Check out my recent video of the rx7 I spray painted. 2 same as above mate. 3 Tamiya mate you can’t really go wrong with them. Equipment is hard to answer as there’s so much. Watch my videos and see what I use is my best advice. Sorry for the late reply

[@DudleysScaleModelcars]

Thank you

[@briansrcadventures1316]

Subscribed :-) Sometimes it's easier to show / explain stuff in a video, than using words & pictures on a forum / facebook page :-) Going to have a good look at these videos to try and up my game as car modelling is my main interest :-)

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Brian, yes always easier to be shown, glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching and comment -Paul :)

[@nzgunnie]

You should consider applying the glue from the inside where you can.

Maybe sort out your playlist order eh Paul...it's bit askew and hard to sort out. I appreciate what you do as you're a great presenter and model maker but finding episode 1 was hard.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Angus Allott all in order for me and easy to find

[@aidemhuerta4350]

I was wondering what tools you use during your builds. Maybe I missed you telling us, but do you happen to have a list of them?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hi, i don't have a list no, one day ill sit and compile a list of all the tools i use thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@francispare1310]

Looking forward to the videos ! I have the kit almost finish but back in the stash because a chemical reaction happened at the end and scrap the paint job ! I love this car because I used to own one.. For myself, the sound is less good with your microphone..you seem further away by the sound to me

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hi Francis, hmm not sure what to say about the mic, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul

[@richardinnis8965]

What is the customizable sand paper that you are using?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Richard, have a look back through the reviews from a couple weeks back and i show them, we sell them on www.umpretail.com

[@mikeyb3782]

Where can i find the sanding sticks in the uk? And will any spray paint be ok for this build?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Www.umpretail.com. You take your chance with anything that’s not made for modelling paint wise, so youre best test spraying first as some other paints can be too hot and melt the plastic

[@mikeyb3782]

@@InternationalScaleModeller thanks for your help and ive gone for tamiya sprays now and some other bits and bobs. Really looking forward to starting this build.
