NEW PARTS! 1962 Pontiac Catalina 421 Super Stock 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build How To Assemble Paint

[@steveproctor1748]

Pontiac was my GM car. Im a Ford guy but a 76 Trans Am was my first new car. 6700 dollars September 21 1975. I kept that car for 18 years and it still looked almost as good as new when I sold it.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

1962 I was a sixteen year old who could FINALLY drive. I was head over heals for the "new" Pontiacs. Looking futuristic with those 8 lug alloy wheels and that huge 421 engine. I did NOT get a new one for my Birthday - like I had wished for. But a buddy's mom got a new white one and we got to ride in it from time to time - serious fun. Chris, you've brought my memories into the spotlight with this bright red example - fine job. Thanks for sharing!

I think the track ones had a swiss cheese chassis.

[@franksimmons1407]

@@jameslarosa2396 It was the frame that was referred to as swiss cheese and those cars were some of the rare and legendary Super Duty editions, I love Pontiacs too.

[@lincoslam]

This kit has always been great. I don't care much for Pontiac 8 lug wheels, but nice addition. Great they added everything into one kit. Was always hoping they do a Grand Prix off this tooling.

Holding out hope for a GP or a bubble top!

[@Testing-123]

Love those old Pontiacs!

[@kevinclemence4661]

Should have bought the 61 Tempest 4 speed drag car when I had the chance!

[@Testing-123]

@@kevinclemence4661 I passed on a 1963 Tempest back in 1981 because I thought it looked too "old man-ish".... I could kick myself. ugh!

[@maryfiltz800]

This one looks really nice. I appreciate when you tell us you made a mistake, and give us a clue on what not to do. Thanks again.

[@27Fan4Ever]

It's impressive that R/2 made the effort to add the new parts to this kit. Leaving out the 8-lugs and the GP Grille would be so easy. A hat tip to the R2 "gang" for going the extra mile with this kit! It's hard to close the box with all of those parts in there.

[@franksimmons1407]

Yes! More Pontiacs Please! Thanks for the vid!

[@jeffyoung8726]

You know Chris I always appreciate your videos because you always keep it fun! Keep on making great content, stay safe & happy. And we'll see you in the next video!

[@acrowe2512]

Yeah nice ! Way to go Round2. I like that the 3-in-one was preserved so you can make the car the way you want it. I love the light grill too.

[@gonsolop2429]

Nice touch on style. Better than most modelers. Really. Not every modeler cares to attend competitions. Most of us do it for good fun in the privacy of our homes. Or....we build about half of it, life entervines, & we do or don't pick it back up later. Ain't America privledges grand. ❤😎 Keep up the good work.

[@hpiguy]

I've never taken a model to a show in my life either, but I do enjoy getting to the shows I can and seeing all the great work by others.

[@gonsolop2429]

@@hpiguy for those of us whom have other matters in life more pressing, youtube & your own contributions help to keep us informed & up to date. I like how you introduce both new pruducts & various common ( less expenssive ) alternatives. Thank you.

[@gojoe2833]

Did you notice that AMT is providing extras for the tiny parts, like lenses? I assume they are thinking about us "five thumbs" builders who lose those parts easily? Thank you Round2!

[@thomasboogie734]

I especially like your Drag racing builds, more please! I like your attitude and style. I REALLY like the music you play as background.

[@INeeDMyGarageTime]

I love GM vehicles You make every build seem so simple and smooth . This Catalina came out great.

[@danrosenello4847]

Very nicely done. This Pontiac has been a favorite of mine since its very first release back in the 90s. My most recent build of it(1962 Daytona 500 winner) was probably the 8th or 9th time I built it.

[@davidhinkson8856]

I had one of the earlier releases of this car, the Custom version that came out in the early 2000s. I didn't like the choice of wheels that car came with and the decal sheet comprised only three license plates, so I'm liking the look of this reissue. Other than that it was a very well detailed and really nice kit to build.

[@robcates2383]

I cant believe you didnt this engine pontiac blue/green!! No, I dont care, love your videos, will be getting this kit kit love it! Another AWESOME VIDEO, THANK YOU!!!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Very cool kit . Awesome finish. Full watch and share. Big like 👍 Mike .

[@kevinclemence4661]

As an old school model builder from long ago, I appreciate a lot of your videos. What I also appreciate is your musical selection. Have you posted links to what plays on as you're busy assembling? Thanks.

Great job! That's always been a nice kit.

[@rayrussell6258]

Interesting tutorial on masking / painting the seats.

[@timczifrik]

Wow..!! I love this kit..!! Also, I can't believe how many xtra parts come with it..!! Always looking for assorted parts to build a better/different model than the usual. Really cool. Thanks again for another great video and build-up.

[@waynehawkins9090]

May have to get one! Nice build sir!

[@laurenciozabala4296]

Great detail work as usual Chris! I just love those eight lug wheels and the transparent steering wheel, outstanding!

[@TI4438]

Good looking build.

Just got my copy and because you I am looking forward build it thank you

Excellent job! I love the tri-color interior.

[@theintake8961]

What s cool kit Chris! I love those old Pontiacs! Your version turned out sweet! 😎👍

[@BolianAdmiral]

What is that rubbery tool that you use to press down the masking tape with?

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice build. The three tone interior is great. Wonderful work on a wonderful kit. Round 2 has done a great job with this re-issue. New parts, great decals, and sweet tires. Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Really great build up of a Really great kit

[@carlosballesteros4670]

My mom had one, many years ago. Cool ship.

[@tedharris8659]

nice build---really like the three color interior--friends mom had a four door 62 cant remember if it was a Bonneville or Catalina that was white with the blue interior---think it was three shades of blue but cant remember exactly---the center may have been either white or silver but do remember I thought it was the neatest interior I had ever seen

[@johnclemans7802]

Nice preview and build up. Just needs a set of 15" big & like Cragar or Torque Thrusts wheels and tires. Round 2 should sell them separately as Hop up parts. 😎

[@KimMiskell-j6w]

Great job .I got the older 1962 model from my brother .already built .so guess that's a repop..thanks for sharing

Nice!

[@chrisrobichaud9368]

About a week ago I stumbled across your videos and subscribed outstanding. Love this channel! Keep up the great work and thanks for all your patience and your time. Have a quick question. Have you done one of the newer kits that a 3-in-1 into the NASCAR versions? Just curious. And by the way, you've got me back into building NASCAR models. Although I like to kick bash stock kits, I haven't done one in over 10 years.

[@petervitti9]

Great build. I like the new grille. Seems to me that it comes from the new 1962 Grand Prix.

[@adammarsden2643]

So Chris did you have to paint in the two chrome grill inserts around the blacked centers for front grill or does kit supply chrome inserts

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Beautiful mate👍

[@richardlee1092]

Looks great Chris! One of my favorite Pontiacs. Love the decals. Thanks!😎

[@JohnW1711stock]

There is a 62 Pontiac sedan currently competing in NHRA Stock. It is a 421 with an automatic trans. It runs about 11.20's.

[@edwardnash7411]

Do you use a Dehydrator to set our paint ?? Oh Great Job Have Fun

[@RobertBumpas]

Wish it had the 421 fender emblems molded in or at least 421 fender emblem decals! Would be great

[@sgnt9337]

When you were going over the parts, the comments "all kinds of small lines" scared me a bit. Is this a kit for more advanced builders? I've only got about 5 builds under my belt at this point.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

👍👍

[@craigwest8386]

I love that decal scheme, Tin Indian. Awesome job, Chris! What brand of 3/4 masking inch tape are you using? I'm asking about the tape you're using to keep a straight edge on the body chrome.

[@DillanOttawa]

Sweet build! Super impressive decal work.
