Old Milwaukee Pontiac Grand Prix #27 Tim Richmond 1984 1/24 Scale Model Kit Build Review Salvinos

Chris is a awesome guy and have never met him, he don't mind responding to questions, telling a story sometimes while he's building and giving tips and short cuts! I have learned a few tricks he does and it turns out just as good. I have layed the paint brush down alot now and went back and forth from airbrush to can for most of the build. I do wire and plumb all of my builds. But he builds like he likes i build like i like everyone is different. I really do like his builds, tips and short cuts!

[@teddyjones8027]

It's awesome that some of these companies are stepping up and saving these kits from disappearing forever. Thank you for the comments about the flash because you are correct it is called model building and it's not Lego building. I never ever worry about the flash or mold seams because it makes me a better builder because I have to do some sanding and blending and I love it. It's a great build like always, looks amazing. Thank you for sharing and everyone stay safe and healthy. Take care of each other and smile.

@Daniel Johnston absolutely agree, I know that the development and molds for really detailed models kits are very expensive but they would sell like hot cakes. Most model builders would buy more than 1 because of they would have such potential because of how detailed.

I love those old monogram nascar kits. I still have probably 15 of the ones I did as a kid. I recently acquired one of the old 85 buick kits and made my own waltrip mountain dew car. Cant tell you how many sunday afternoons my dad and I spent watching nascar races in the mid/late 80s. What I found really cool is to have one of those old races playing on you tube as I'm building one of these awesome classics. Love the channel. Thanks for keeping our hobby rolling!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@moparnut6286]

I have a bunch of old NASCAR models from back in the day before they lost their guts and cars ran sponsors like Skoal, Miller beer, Marlboro, that's when NASCAR was about racing not soap opera antics.....this one is a must have old Milwaukee! Great job love this build!

[@hpiguy]

Very cool!

[@harrygaydosz73]

I haven't built a model in close to 30 years. This makes me want to build one again! Great stuff!

[@hpiguy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bigchef2112]

Thanks Chris. Very nice build. I’m building a paint data base, and I’ll be using your different colors you use. I’m listing all major brands like testors, MM, Tamiya, Rustoleum, krylon, MCW & Ace hardware paint. I will be building this list as I gain info. Always a pleasure watching your videos, especially your Salvino builds.

[@hpiguy]

Sounds great!

[@bigchef2112]

DeLaun Fifield That’s what I did. I have started a spread sheet with MCW in first column. I also have model masters, testors, Tamiya, Rustoleum, krylon, ace hardware and Duplicolor. As people show their builds I’m getting the info to fill in the fields.

[@bigchef2112]

DeLaun Fifield Got to remember as well bud, not everybody uses an airbrush. Most builders use either Tamiya, Rustoleum, krylon or MCW. Spray cans are still the most predominantly used type of paint. Too, it’s not about pleasing other people with your builds by insuring exact color match. Whether or not HPI guys color matches exactly, it is still a great build.

[@hpiguy]

I removed his comment, he's not being helpful, he's just whining about 'perfect' colors and from day one I've said that type of stuff is not what this FUN channel is about. Have a great day RB and good luck on your paint list project!

I use Testors gloss custom transparent black enamel on the chrome parts. Just a light coat or 2 on the chrome and it makes the toy like chrome look like real chrome. I use the dull coat on other chrome parts when I want to dull it way down.

Just a quick tip. I like to glue some foil on the drivers side floor to represent the heat insulation that they used. Only takes a minute and it really shows up with the body off. The foil fits the details on the floor pan really easy. Maybe some above the exhaust pipe also.

Tried reviving the tips with no luck. My next remedy will be to clear before attempting to do the window moldings.

[@chrisC052]

Chris what a bad ass build (sorry about the language). Its so great that Round2 is doing reissue of these older kits, and they do a outstanding job of it. The one thing that comes to mind for me is that all the work that went into theses kits back in the 60's 70's and 80's from the tool and die makers to the box artists, now there legacy still lives on. It's a tribute to all the work that went into the kitswe all love to build. To quote you Chris if someone complains about flash " throw 'em down a flight of stairs". Again excellent build👍👍

Do you also use setting solution when applying the "Goodyear" decals to the tires ?

I really would appreciate your input on this matter. Also I fully enjoy watching your builds , I have learned a lot watching your videos
