Repainting a Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 Model car

[@whitgoose111]

It'd be nice to see photos of the car you're matching in these types of videos. Great work!

[@mrclean5462]

This is the car from top gear

[@norsevikingsir4932]

It would still be nice to see them side by side

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

The owner sadly did not have photo’s of the car, so i could not add them in this case.

[@BOABModels]

It's interesting to see a scale model like this disassembled and then put back together. At least you don't pretend it's ruined like those Restore channels!

[@qingyuanzhang3644]

Exactly what I thought. And those restore channels they always deliberately damage the model first and pretend they found it somewhere in the junkyard.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

And magicaly all the super damaged parts are then brand new again🤪

[@BOABModels]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel exactly! How do they do it!? 😂

[@wyattglen1]

The bigger the piece you repaint/remodel....the better. These are great. Keep it up!

Definitely keep these die-cast quick builds coming, Tom.... always a pleasure to see your work. Best from NZ.

Great video Body repair men told me to put the clearcoat on the paint when its almost dry so it bonds better ?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Yes

[@HappyDude1]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Is it possible to paint over the original color ?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

@@HappyDude1 it is possible

[@AlexHonsalesModelRestoration]

Fond of this model, actually even have one in real life but in silver color. Fantastic job! So cool!

[@norsevikingsir4932]

Just a friendly tip, painting from the top down instead of the bottom up, is the better way to go as over spray has weight to it (even in paint booths) which makes it drop to the lower panels. It just gives you a smoother result in the end with less finishing.

[@nokiano4926]

A such small thing as repainting does so much to the actual car. Great job

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Turned out GREAT!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@paulmcnamara16]

Very nice. Awesome job, and yes would love to see more of this type!

[@billgriffiths1685]

Yes,yes and yes we do, fabulous channel. 10/10

[@jamesbgreat]

Really enjoyed this video. I was just thinking the other day of stripping down and repainting a die cast model. I think I’m sold on that idea now. Cheers.

[@airsaoo]

Very nice decorate and good work

[@kavkaz879]

Amazing, super enjoyed this video and that you add the name of the products you use But the 190e wagon you did will always be the best 190e in existence

[@jacobp8353]

No such thing as a 190e wagon. Was prolly a W124

[@blinkachu3394]

Good idea for a new video: Buy a Porsche 911 Turbo model, and paint it to be like Johnny Silverhand's Porsche from Cyberpunk 2077 ^^ Very popular game, you're really good at what you do, so it's a win-win

[@sebs8807]

Love your builds! And I still like the music again and again and again ;-)

[@Mauscmkwk]

What is your next car model

[@supmansaccount5360]

I have a question. I am currently building a spraying booth, and I am trying to find an air filter for the fan so that the fan stays clean when I am painting. Do regular air filters work, like the rectangular ones?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I think they do. As fas as collecting overspray is concerned

[@supmansaccount5360]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel ok thanks!

[@bigben8057]

Hi. I have one more question for you, I have the same airbrush as yours, but I constantly have a problem with it, it "spits" paint, as if it sprinkles when I release the trigger and press again. What could be the problem?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Keep the trigger pressed doen for air and do not release the air untill the trigger is 100% closed

[@GAguns]

Nice love the color

[@bigmig496]

Nice work!👍

[@Auto1_24]

Great! The hardest part is making the decals. Will you make a video tutorial on decals?

Spectacular !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great. I think I’m going to have to check out some diecast cars. Stay safe 🍻🌲

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

It very much like auto journalist Jason Cammisa's 190 2.3-16.

[@bigben8057]

Why doesn't my Tamiya primer stick to metal models? What's the right technology?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Tamiya primer does stick to metal. I used it in this video on this model :P try sanding the model with 400 grit sandpaper

[@oslo_whitebeats2326]

Like from Kazahstan

[@telescopereplicator]

Great result. Nice video. I mean that. But you would be better off with an LPH-80 from Iwata. More paint, in a fan pattern, always gives the best results. And with ease...! If the LPH-80 is too big, have a look at the Sparmax GP-850.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Looked them up. The LPH-80 would indeed be way to big for my needs. Could not find the GP-850 available in my area. Did find a Mr.Hobby PS-290 wich i'm going to give a try. Thanks for the tip

[@telescopereplicator]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Ik kocht de mijne op eBay. Is inderdaad moeilijk te krijgen, hier, in de reguliere winkels. De PS-290 is een goede keuze....MITS..... je er eentje met 0,5 mm naald kiest EN fan patroon. Da's wel een voorwaarde voor een optimaal resultaat. En vergeet nooit: het model mag dan wel op schaal zijn, de verf is dat NIET !! Echt een groot verschil. Een detail dat de meeste hobbyisten gigantisch over het hoofd zien. Veel modelbouwers beseffen niet, dat AL het geschilderde speelgoed dat ze ooit hadden of hebben, met een hele grote paintgun gespoten is ! Ja, ook de kleine Matchbox auto's worden met veel dikke verf uit een paintgun gespoten. Daarom ziet speelgoed uit de winkel er ook altijd veel strakker uit dan het korrelige effect (en sinaasappeleffect) dat vele modelbouwers krijgen, met hun veel te kleine airbrush.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

@@telescopereplicator ik heb de 0,5 met fan besteld indd

[@telescopereplicator]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Je bent een goede, ervaren modelbouwer. Ik hoef je dus niet te vertellen dat je alsnog moet gaan oefenen met dat ding....!!?? ;-) Hopelijk ben je bekend met de video's van Paul Budzik. Een meester modelbouwer. Dit is een goede video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHKVfIeQe8SSfLs Vanwege zijn video's heb ik een LPH-80 en een GP-850 gekocht. Die LPH spuit verf alsof het gratis is. Een potje Tamiya o.i.d. is echt zó op....!!! ( seconden tot hooguit een paar minuten.......) Veel sneller dan met die kleine airbrushes, omdat je nu met een veel hogere druk en meer verf spuit. En beduidend minder verdunner gebruikt. Ook allerlei grote (en kleine) Iwata's heb ik aangeschaft, vanwege de fantastische info in Budzik's video's. Om een LPH-80 fatsoenlijk te kunnen gebruiken, heb je wel een flinke compressor nodig. Een grote. 50 liter per minuut bij 2 Bar. En dan al die extra hulpstukken nog, zoals een dikke slang, koppelingen en een manometer voor aan de AB. Dus al met al wordt zo'n AB een stuk duurder dan de meeste mensen denken. Een compressor zoals de meeste bouwers thuis hebben, is _ab-so-luut_ niet groot genoeg voor een LPH.

Why is the color wrong?

@@TheScalemodelingChannel The 190E 2.3-16v was only offered in a sort-of black tone, named Black-Blue metallic, and a similar, but less yellow-y silver tone, named Smoke Silver metallic. Codes for those two colours were 199 and 702. Champagne, while offered for the baseline 190E models, is too vibrant of a colour to match the real car of this customer.
