That was great timing on your behalf, you posted it just as I was sitting down to enjoy my dinner, after work. Another great video, it is a nice kit and you made it all to a very nice diorama / vignette, with the added figures at prayer. Fitting music as well.. so yes, very good, all in all.. I may have to get this kit, but I do have a Tamiya 'Easy Eight' in 1/48 scale to build and have already built the HobbyBoss 1/48 Easy Eight as a Korean War version. I don't know if the tiger faces scared the Chinese and North Koreans, or not, but it sure makes for a very interesting tank model to build.. :) Thanks for sharing your build. :)

Hey qdc I’ve been watching your videos for years and I just wanted to say thanks for what you do. Your builds are always a joy to watch!

Hi Qdc, very nice job!!!!! Yr cat is awesome!!!!!! See you soon!!!!

That's a pretty nice model! I need to build my own. But i got about 60 untuilt kits in my collection 🙈 a lot of work to do although i am sure i'd love another Sherman model. Also my uncle was a bomber radio operator during this war so it kinda feels nostalgic

A really nice build, and a nice diorama! I don't know about whether painting the front of tanks scared any Chinese, or not, but my father told me a somewhat similar story from his service in WWII....My dad was in an armored anti-aircraft unit on its way to the bridge at Remagen, Germany , in March, 1945. By this late point in the war, the Germans were desperate to keep the Allies from invading. My dad told me that the Germans, knowing about the popularity in the U.S. of horror movies, thought that the GI's were afraid of monsters, so they hung pictures and movie posters of the Wolfman, with the words, "Beware - werewolves," from trees at the edges of forests (thinking this would scare the GI's,) and keep them from going any further into Germany. It didn't work...My dad said he and his buddies almost died laughing! So, I wonder if "Tiger faces" painted on tanks might have had a similar effect on the Chinese soldiers in Korea. That "Beware - werewolves" story might make an interesting diorama for an accomplihed modeler......(hint, hint)

That Sherman is a nice looking kit. And you did a great job on it and the diorama.

I enjoyed your video. Your cat was the star of the show.

Wonderful Build !!!!

Lovely model and great diorama indeed. Didn't know about the history behind the tiger paints. That was new. Thanks for sharing

Awesome diorama. I appreciate the thought that goes into your dioramas. They way that your dioramas are done with taste and respect is awesome. Great job my friend.

I have the Easy 8 from three different companies. I am a bit of a Sherman fan. At this moment I have 9 different Sherman models not including the Easy 8. Don't ever stop building.

The 89th tank battalion were one of the major units that actually did such large motifs on their vehicle, like the Devil motif you have built, hence "rice's red devils" Other units opted for the tiger motif which actually painted the entire forward parts of the tank yellow with stripes, not just the front plate. Sources vary on if this actually worked as it is hard to tell if enemy soldiers ran away due to the way they painted their tanks or the fact that it was a tank.

Buen trabajo. Tu gato ya es una parte importante de tus vídeos, un saludo muy fuerte.

Very nice video. Tamiya truly is the masters of plastic. Their engineering is second to none. Easy to build kit's which display nicely when finished. I have two Uncle's who fought in Korea. One is still living, I'm thankful for his and my Aunt's service.. Great build Qdc. I built a Sherman recently with a battle of the Bulge white wash. Hey Buster, nice 🐈. My wife had a tabby tiger striped cat named Sammy. Godspeed; Mike

I absolutely agree with your opinion on what happened to father kapaun he was absolutely tortured to death because he wouldn't turn his back on his faith or his country and American GIs that were locked up with him said that he was the sole reason they survived

Nicely done buddy. Love your cat in the video, I had a good chuckle over that. Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing. Your videos are appreciated.

Good video!!! Am building this same tank as well. Father Kaupan was born in Pilsen, KS, about a 45 mile or so drive from where I live in Kansas. Few weeks ago, I was down by Marion Lake Reservoir when I decided to take a different route home. Route I had taken brought me through Pilsen, KS - very tiny town. Saw a sign in front of a house that said "Father Kaupan's Boyhood Home" or words similar. Jammed on the brakes and backed up to get a better look. Also, there is a church in town where he preached and a small museum next door. The museum was closed day of my visit. Plus, there was a nice statue of him and a historical plaque in his honor. Also, on Fort Riley, there is a chapel named in his honor as well. The things that can be discovered while just aimlessly driving around the backroads of the countryside.

Don't worry, be 😊😊😊 happy. The cat's "little help", comes in handy😂😊🎉 . Happy hobbying!

I love all your works! Keep delighting us with your videos)

Very good Colin , i enjoyed that . Great build and an excellent diorama. Great to see you and Buster team up again 😃👍

Very nice model as always 😁 love how your cat was appreciating the diorama at the end😂

Super work Colin. Really like how this one has turned out mate

Nice work as always. Also, it's very impressive scene. Thank you for sharing.

This came out really great qdc, love the finish diorama.

Nice Job QDC👍Outstanding!

Love these videos man keep them coming!

Awesome build my friend :)

Amazing work!

awesome work!

Awesome again. Thanks

Well done QDC!!!

That looks great

Lovely model and great dio Q

Great video and project 👍. I had seen some updates of the tank on Rob's channel. 14:45 was like a 1950s sci-fi movie, with men praying for their lives while the tank battled the giant radioactive cat! 😜

A near CAT-TASTROPHE there at the end :D

Nice work my friend looking great all the best from here in the UK

Nice work as always.

Hello! I always enjoy your build video since your first video. thank you to memorize and commemorate our tragic war in korea. As you know, lots of country sent soldiers to korea to help us and All koreans always thank to that countries. from korea

Fantastic job very impressive

You are a hellava modeller! And you do some great work! that diorama looks fantastic!

Oh yea easy eight very beatiful.

Great as always, i didn't know it was year of the tiger but you'd think they'd make it look more like a actual tigers face 🐯 . A child could draw a more convincing tigers face . Otherwise makes easier to see and a aiming point

Akon makes me wonder about other vehicles and also aircraft about certain paint schemes and nose art and how they had probably a specific purpose

Wow!!! This is so well done! I built the same kit at Christmas time - but I haven't made the Soviet car yet. Your build puts mine to shame! 😍

Beautiful tank! Your cat is cute. 🥰

I love your videos! They're like ASMR for normal people lol.

I'd have thought that to a Chinese soldier this is a tank with a painting on it. Not a tiger's face. More Likely the tank would scare them than the 'tiger' painted on it. But! Fantastic work as always and a very good diorama.

Очень красивая задумка и исполнение!

Very nice QDC!i very like your video!they make my day more positive and relaxing!!😉😇🥰✌️

wel good loooking stuff and all fit together and yes the fuzzzzaay y co star had get in thare some how wil see you and the dava in nest vid

Another awesome job mate 🇦🇺👍🏻

Lovely video again, Q! It's always as great a pleasure to watch you as watching plasmo or Night Shift! If I want to share my current project with you, is there a place where i can do such? Facebook maybe? Edit: a tip would be for your dioramas to cut away as much foam with a knife as possible, as all the small microplastic particles that you create using a drill are 1)hard to clean, 2) fly everywhere and 3) are probably not good for your health! ;)

Great build as always. What airbrush and compressor do you use? I'm asking because I'm looking to buy one.

Great build and diorama! Quick question: why was there a GAZ scout car included in this kit? I know that the Chinese were combatants in the war, and I know it was a proxy war in the greater Cold War, but I wasn't aware that the Soviets were also direct combatants. I guess I don't know much about the Korean War.

Hi QDC.... Maybe i am wrong but..... The building video from renault FT Tank is missing.... ⁉️ I like to watch the older Videos from you..... My Favorite is the Motorcycle video.... 😍👍 And the 2nd is the Humvee video.... Gratings from Vienna.... 👋

Giant megafauna cats were once common on the Korean Peninsula up to the war. Unfortunately, they were wiped out as collateral damage during the War. Some say that was the catalyst for the truce. This story was covered up by the CIA and the government.

Get a haircut!
