Greetings andy. About About a month ago I got a model u505 from msi in chicago and from when this video is posted I'm 11, but really inch to modeling and I have seen a lot of your videos, and it really got me into getting model tanks, planes and I just ww2 stuff. So thanks for the amazing content keep up the work

I am a Retired English Police Officer living in Oklahoma. My Grandfather Served in the First World War in the Royal Tank Corps (Mk IV's). I still have his "Service Record" and his "De-Mob" papers. Really considering making the "Male" version of this Tank in his honor, shame they are in such short supply at the moment. Thanks for a great video.

Just acquired the "Tadpole" version of that tank, also by Takom. Looking foreword to building it, made better by your video Thanks Andy.

You're a lucky man, Andy! You made your hobby your profession! It's pretty amazing what great progress tanks have taken from WW I to WW II and in the long time after. Somehow I start to like these "mansions on tracks". Will we all get to know if and when you'll be shipping outside the US? Kutgw! Greetz from Germany. :) Jens

Great build of a great model. About six moths ago I've build the Tamiya MKIV male tank. Nice model too, but not so complicated as the Takom. Not a challenge in fact. Real challenges are the Tamiya Dragon U.S. tank transporter and the Italeri M4A3E8 "Fury" tank. First one because of the enormous amount of parts an detail, second one because of poor instructions and very fragile suspension.

I'm looking for this mk 1 now after building the takom mk4 2 in 1 special edition kit! Its stunning even the British design tracks are as good in a scale model! Its unbelievable! Shame you don't get much British decals with the mk4 kit you get Loadster that's it rest in German print! But the engli flag looks better painted on so it's a nice personal touch for each British modeler!

I'm a complete novice at this. The question is not intended to be a criticism, rather some required guidance. Would it be reasonable or not, to drill out the barrels of the machine guns. My eyes keep being drawn to the barrel tips.. Love the few Vids I've watched so far.

@highflyFinn 5 жыл бұрын

I've found other yourubers useing hypodermic needles as a small drill in order to do so although I have never done it myself

@rogermullins7877 5 жыл бұрын

@@highflyFinn Thank you for the reply. However it raises more questions. I note that you haven't used Hypodermic needles. 1). The tip of a needle has one bevelled edge. Curious if this affects the concentricity of the hole to the outer diameter of the gun barrel? 2). Is the needle heated up prior to pressing it on the barrel tip? Thanks for your understanding.

Personally, I think it needs some serious weathering. I also think that the female tank design is just plan ugly. Wagon wheels and all. But the actual tooling and molding quality is excellent. Maybe I'll pick up the male version. Nice to hear about the shop, keep up the great work.
