Just for interests sake: The complete Panzer one weighed only slightly more than one set of tracks of the Tiger II (King Tiger).

Looking forward to Takom and other brands introducing more affordable 1/16 kits. Great and simple-to-follow build by the way!

Andy, without a doubt you have the heart of a teacher. You build videos are arguably some of the best on KZfaq. I not only enjoy them but I always learn something as well. Keep up the great work.

Hey Andy! Awesome to see another video! I missed these build vids. I'm happy the store is doing good, and that 1/16 panzer I is AWESOME.

HOLY CRAP, love this one in 1/16 scale! Very well done Andy!

Bro, every piece of your work has moved me.

I think this is probably Andy's best work yet. Love the weathering effects. Great job, I'm jealous, I'm going to have to up my game after seeing this build.

I can't wait to grab one for myself. You really can't beat that price for its size. Great work Andy! The modulation is almost perfect and very visible without the distracting camo.

Thank you Andy for building and painting one of my favourite tanks! Looks really great For some reason I love the panzer 1. I wish i could get that kit and add some rc components.

I am impressed as you maintained it simple and easy, doing an impressive job as always!

Andy, I virtually LIVE on Mozart! So glad you use his music in your builds. THANK YOU!

Old time subscriber here and just glancing at this model gets me excited. Looks like one of your best ones and I will definitely watch the video when I have time too enjoy it...thx

Great looking kit you definitely nailed this one Andy great colour and i will be getting this one Steve 🇬🇧

Im an aircraft geek, but I always love watching your videos, especially when you do these larger scale models.

Hi Andy thank you for your videos. Ive been modelling for over 30 years, but since ive discovered your videos you have helped me to the next level of modelling and give me confidence with my spray gun. Thank you again and keep up the brilliant work. Davy W. Belfast, NI, UK

Fantastic Results Andy, thanks for Sharing Again, have a Blessed Wknd Sir.

Nice job Andy..ive bin building models of all sorts for years and years but stopped about 10 yrs ago because all the stores selling models and all the other stuff needed where i live have vanished..planes and tanks and ships wer my fave and seeing this video makes me wanna get back into this awesome hobby..i used to do weathering and all and was verry technical about detail and neatness and even used real pictures and info from books and so on..my fave model was the Bismark and got it to the exact thing by making my own handrail cables and stansions and rigging that never came with the model using the part holder frames by melting and stretching it out to the desired thickness..rigging cables the same..thnx once again for this vid on a verry good looking model 👍

Nicely done Andy and an awesome kit by Takom.

i like this tank, it looks so different to most of the other panzers being the early one.

One of the best finishes I have seen you do, great review and great vid, SUPERB. I pre ordered UK in Dec so cannot wait, thanks Andy :-)

Crazy to think that Germny started the war with a literal armored machine gun nest, and ended with the King tiger and the elephant in just a matter of 3-4 years

Hi Andy, another great video, glad to see back doing what you do best

Andy: if you take a piece of tin foil and put it over the head light,then burnish it down, and cut off the excess , and then add the clear lens you'll a perfect looking head light!🤓

Looks like a great kit. Also happy it doesn't have an interior!

Hi Andy, Thought you did a really superb job on the desert weathering. Keep up the great work.

Great job Andy. I love the early Africa Corp tanks.

your modelling and painting skills are some of the best iv seen love how you weather the models !! just enough some modellers go to far on the weathering !!!

Stunning work! As always Andy!

Turned out great!! Hope to see more amazing videos like this one soon!!

Nice job. Weathering looks great 👍

Nice job Andy, that looks great!

Good to see you back at the workbench

Happy to see that your expansion is complete. (Lord only knows what happened behind the scenes). Best of luck in the future and looking forward to more videos.

Love it. May pick this one up and give it a go myself.

Excellent. Thank you. I enjoyed this.

Really hope you can do a video on good weathering techniques. Still struggle with this side of my work. Excellent build.

It was great to meet you; what a great shop! Wish I lived closer- Skyline guy from Yorktown.

You’re a hero for mentioning a panzer 2 and 3 in the end lol! I would definitely love a StuG iii 😩

Hi Andy, greetings and happy new year from Germany. I love big scales. I really hope you will show a 1/12scale car in the near future! Especially the 1/12 scale GT40 from Meng would be awesome!

Sweet build! And I know the next one is gonna be epic!!!

GREAT job, fabulous finish and weathering, the varying shades of sand works well. Normally I think chipping is overdone but that looks right on this one. If only you left a grey patch under the Afrika Corps logo....Coming out to Az in April, will stop by the store!

May have mentioned it before, but I LOVE the Mozart while you are building!

Absolutely love it. Very nice kit

Great video I never considered building 1/16 now I am. Ty

I used to use the old thinners that I'd used to clean brushes as weathering just get the gunge out of the can and let it dry. It used to have multicolour so it looked okay but had to do it in an airy environment or it stank horribly

Great job, Andy, well done!

Awesome build. Love your work.

just bought me one of these through you. Can't wait to get it.

looks amazing,great work Andy

Love the Afrika Corp vehicles painting and Weathering Andy.... Looks like fun Andy, Cheers Andy!!!!! Sincerely Don Frandsen 👍😀😀

Wow!!!!! Great job Andy

turned out great, takom seems to be at the top of the game!

Nice to see a 1/16th tank kit that isn't some behemoth that needs it's own shelf.

Wouldn't mind seeing a full interior kit of this one. Looks to build into a nice kit IMO. Been looking into getting this kit as well as the 1/16 Panda Panzer (38t) kit.

Nice. Can not wait to get one.

OMG that is superb, love it

that is a big one Andy looks great

Another great job Andy.Think i'll have a crack at a 1/16 kit this year.

very good job andy!!! store looks great!!!

Andy, according to my info (AK book "Real colors of WW2", internet, book collection) the primer on German tanks was red-brown RAL 8012. Grey primer was usually a heat resistant primer, used on the barrels, only. I have seen plenty of color pictures of German tanks, used in Africa during WW2, and they all show a red primer !!! If you ever see grey worn spots on a tank, i't has been worn down to the metal, but it hasn't rusted yet, because of dry weather conditions. Or it is the first grey layer of paint. Tanks were painted in grey, RAL 7021, at the factory. ALL of them. Only when needed, did they get an extra layer of Sand Yellow. These tanks had therefor three layers : Red etch primer, the standard Panzer Grey, then Sand Yellow, sometimes hand painted in situ. In the AK book you can see examples of parts of tanks with these THREE layers of paint !!! Remember, these are photographs of the real German tanks which actually fought in WW2 in Africa !! Also, don't use (black) pre-shading. It's totally unrealistic. Instead, add a bit of very light grey (almost white) to the Sand Yellow, and weather the tank with that. Paint weathers all over the tank, irregularly, not just in the middle of each panel. The paint does not know it is sitting in the middle of a panel............. And when paint weathers, it get LIGHTER, everywhere, and not DARKER (at the edge). Therewith, the reason for pre-shading disappears. Use photographs of real WW2 tanks to show you where and how to simulate worn paint, instead of randomly blotting a sponge all over.... You are a good modeler, you can do better. Large models like these are ideal to use the hair spray technique on !! The effect is far more realistic than blotting paint on.

Hello! I looked with interest. Many thanks.

Very nice kit.

You need to do a video of accessories by brand, type. Photo etch, resin, gun barrels, luggage ect.

Nice large kit Andy.

Hey Andy,The Takom Panzer1a is a good size, too.🐨👍

new store lay out looks great

Nice Andy . I think it's your best yet ! M

You can heat up brass photo etch with a lighter and then quench it afterwards it’ll be easier to bend especially for doing muffler covers

Andy always good stuff!! Will you do something on creating battle damage to a tank model. Such as bent fenders, bullet and shell ricochet, etc. Thanks and keep up the fantastic videos.

Yay another model kit!

Nice looking kit. I'm crossing my fingers for a Luchs in the future.

Awesome 😎 Andy!

Excellent!

The more parts and detail the better andy,seems your shying away from hardwork kits it seems :-) dont rush building them.

Great job! Good video!

Looks great

Looks great - if Takom makes a Pz II or III in 1/16 I'm in!!!!

Beautiful model.

looks very nice

hey, just behind you!!! there is an amazing shop!! i wish i could have ,near my place a shop like yours. where i go,they are dark and not friendly at all....

I was thinking about how the upper hull goes together, and why they did that rather then just molding it as one part, and it got me thinking about kit design. Do you know any videos or sites that talk about the process of actually designing a scale model kit?

Instructional and entertaining video as always. You need to do a collab with Nightshift!

Awsome video. Can you actually move the cannon part and the tracks/wheels?

Dear Takom, More of these 1/16 kits please. I'd love to see an American M2 (pre-Stuart). Me

Hi Andy, I've been watching your videos for about a year or so now. This is a great channel for sure! One small thing I've noticed though as a former recording engineer is that your audio levels can be a bit inconsistent. If you were to put a limiter on your master audio out at about negative 6 dB or so, your general audio levels will be louder and more evened out. Otherwise thank you so much for all the great reviews and builds, keep up the great work!

The Spanish Civil War pnzr 1 with Breda 20mm cannon by Ammo Mig is this kit with a new turret/gun/decals.

Hey Andy, I enjoy watching your videos, Your Pz 1 looks great. But have a to say, little disappointed you did not point out the bad fit of the upper hull, and the engine compartment, maybe you did not notice the upper hull does not fit, at 17:23 you can see the hull sitting up on the bracket next to the exhaust pipe, that same area causes issues with the engine desk, have to cut the inlet and pipe a little to move the engine deck back. The decals are really bad also, very thick carrier film. You’re lucky you glued the fenders on without the rear mud flaps as called for in step 17, else it is a nightmare to get it on. Ps You missed the wingnuts just about the rear tow hook part, B 25 Step 12 I only mention this for those about to build, the kit does have some beautiful details, but a few issues.

Another greaf video Andy, keep um coming. How about the Tamkom 1/16 Panzer iv.

I want some more interior builds

Welcome back

Very nice

this is awsome!!!

The kit looks great, good job. But the tracks are facing different ways. Not sure if you caught this or not.

That looks awesome, great job when you say we, have you got someone helping you out?

Rocking the Mozart...Sweet.

Andy, love your videos. Your heads up and advice is very helpful. Mu only gripe is tht "music". To me it is very distracting. I wind up muting it only to see I missed your commentary and unmute the volume.

Great video, does anyone know what colour he used for chipping? was it German gray?

You make the weathering look easy, Andy, but I know it's taken literally years of practice to get to this point! Your modelling always inspires me to try new things and do better.

Sold out real fast I see.

I get what you say about no interior keeping the parts count and therefore the cost down, but some of us really like our interiors. My eyes aren't what they used to be (I'm 67) but that huge scale will make scratchbuilding an interior far easier than it would be in 1/35th or any smaller scale.
