[@hillbillymodeling]

Hey Jeff, it's easy to do nice work if we have a nice kit and this one is going together quite well. Thanks for watching have a great weekend buddy. Johnny

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Hahahaha, you reminded me and the BJ212. Lot's of planning about what's getting attached now and what later, a whole bench full of small parts and sub assemblies awit you. Great job done Johnny, take care and keep up the good work my friend!

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hi George, yes, there are lots of subassemblies, that should make the final assembly very interesting, lol. Thanks so much for watching, take care and model on my friend. Johnny

[@gerryshinners7258]

The detail and fit on this kit seems to be almost perfect Johnny. I'm really looking forward to the Friday edition.👍

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hey Gerry, other than the slightly warped frame rails, everything else is working out really well. Thanks so much for watching my friend, take care and model on!! Johnny

Look like it’s coming along well Johnny,now the radiator issue got fixed..I like what this kit gives in detail and the cab should look great after painting..Be interesting what extra details you’re planning to add..Have a wonderful week Johnny and all the best from Paul in the U.K🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

[@hillbillymodeling]

Thanks Paul, I was disappointed with the molding of the radiator, but I think we have that sorted! The rest of the kit seems really nice, shouldn't be an issue. Thanks so much for tuning in, take care and model on my friend! Johnny

Morning Johnny, the Liberty truck is looking really great, it seems to be a fairly easy build, now all I have to do, is find a way tobsneak the kit home, have a great weekend, best regards from Australia, Les

[@hillbillymodeling]

You can do it Les! Just slip it in something like a produce box maybe under some apples or something, then you let her carry it in so as to not raise suspicion, 😉. One work of caution just don't get caught! LOL. Thanks for watching my friend, take care and have a great weekend! Johnny

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Lookin' good, Johnny! I've got a model contest this weekend. I'm thinking I might look around and see if someone has one of those they're willing to part with! Have a good weekend! Happy Modeling! -Richard S., Fort Worth TX

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hey Richard, I think this kit lists for around $48 on average, hope you find one and can talk them down a bit, no sense in paying retail, LOL. Have a great weekend and I hope you place well at the show buddy! Thanks for watching. Johnny

[@raymondserafin9396]

Your truck is coming along nicely. Why can't you test fit everything before you glue it? Good idea. I do the same thing. Can't wait to see your next video I always enjoy watching your videos. I always learned something. Keep up the good work

[@hillbillymodeling]

I'm a firm believer in test fitting everything Raymond, better to find out early you have an issue than later that's for sure! It's coming together nicely, thanks so much for watching my friend, take care and have a great weekend! Johnny

[@MikeUSA67]

Coming along nicely, Johnny! Concerning the Mr. Surfacer I need a little help from you (or others reading this): my jar has run a little bit dry and thick, and I don't know for sure with what to thin it with? From the stink of it my guess would be enamel thinner, but does that work? Greetings, Mike

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hey Mike, thanks! As for your question about Mr. Surfacer, they recommend their Mr. Thinner. In my quick search I have discovered that Mr. Surfacer is a lacquer-based product, and you should use a lacquer thinner. Mineral thinners that are based on oil products, like enamel thinner, don't do well with lacquers. I haven't had to thin mine yet but Mr. Leveling Thinner is what I use to clean my brush after using Mr. Surfacer, so, that would probably work as well since they are both lacquer based. Keeping this in mind, all of the Mr. Thinners/Leveling Thinner will dissolve water-based acrylics once they are dry, I haven't tested it, but I would say adding these MR. thinners to wet water-based acrylics might cause them to clump, guess I should test my theory! Hope this helps buddy!

@@hillbillymodeling Thanks for helping me out, buddy! I'll keep that in mind.
