Great build! I've been adding modeling clay inside the hulls of my builds to add weight. It makes the models feel more solid and also keeps them in place better if mounted on dioramas at an angle.

Thank you for making this video! I've got my own M51 in the works, and didn't really know how I wanted to paint and design it. But after watching this, I know what I'm going for. Thank you once again!

awesome work, it's a beautifully kit and a beautiful tank, keep doing it great andy!! greetings from Chile

just bought this model,can't wait to build it, I have learned a lot watching your videos.

great channel andy its helped me get back into modelling after about 40 yrs.i always loved building armoured vehicles .

Great build,have the kit in my stash but a few builds down the line,great vid to follow

Probably the best Sherman I've ever seen. Good job.

very cool, like you stowage, that's my favorite part, of builds, besides painting, love the home away from home look, again very cool build.

Sweet! I've seen this kit at my local hobby shop and I'll have to pick it up if it's still there on Tuesday. The mix of desert yellow and buff is a perfect desert color. As always your model looks fantastic and thank you much for sharing! Michael Truhett U.S.C.G. Veteran Semper Paratus 🇺🇸

I have this model as well and it's a perfect build and the instructions are very clear great job tamiya!

brilliant video,it has got me building tanks again after thirty years. keep up the good work.

Andy always a pleasure watching and learning, I will be by around the first of the year

Really enjoyed this build. Finish looks good. Congratulations from the UK

Sweet. Watching this is really hypnotic. Subbed!

As always Andy, museum quality work, thanks for sharing.

nice work mate...love the subject. You got some cool effects with the dry brushing..well done

Hi Andy, great build as always mate. I loved your armoured train build mate, top job as always.

Hi Andy: great Video! Thank you for posting. Best, Greg

I don't even model. But I love warbirds and tanks. And I think I gotta grab a model to try this week. Winter project!

Andy you got me into this hobby. Quite liking it so far. :)

Andy, thank you for your video. It is very inspiring. I almost danced to the music - perfect choice.

Damn Andy you make look so easy you're going to have to teach me.

Hi Andy, I would just like to say that you have done a great job of the M51. I have got this kit in my stash to FINISH but have had a problem with it, I dropped the muzzle brake on the floor and promptly stood on it. I ordered a up-date set for the M51 but was not happy with the size of the M/B it seemed a little on the small side, but seeing your build I must get it out and finish the project. I will also subscribe to your site. Happy Modelling from Australia, Les

Brilliant, lovely to watch.

That is amazing.I need to get me one for myself.

A beautiful job on a beautiful kit. As usual. Thanks for the vedio.

Stunning paint job.

That is a beautiful build. Very nice!

great video and great build! I enjoyed it thoroughly

You just gave me the theme of my next modeling project, thank you!

Very Nice!

I've watched several of your videos. It's really amazing what can be done with plastic, glue, paint and some crafty skills. The quality of your end result is just top notch. I enjoyed the classical music and you have also done a great job filming and adding commentary when necessary. I built lot of models when I was young, then would blow them up with fire crackers or something crazy like that. Too bad you don't have a website to sell your kits on line, I'd certainly support you.

Wow, great work! That must took a lot of time and patience to build it

one of my best sheramn kit. gj and gl

Andy BRILLIANT job

i just got the tank and i’m still building it, it’s a very nice build.

I building my right now., its a sweet kit like all the new tool Shermans from Tamiya.. Im doing OOB with minor addition like jerry cans and pioneer tool tie downs and some stowage. The figures in the kit are really good.

very nice Video :) a nice modell kit !!

Great build very detailed USMC !!

Wow great build

Gorgeous!

Nice work! Nice music!

Andy, you got me back into models. I never painted models as a kid. I built this model but do not have an air-brush. I guess I spray paint it black. then desert yellow then hand paint things. I do not know how the painting process could be simplified?

Beautiful model

Superb. Needs to be in a diorama.

Great job !!!

Nice work !

Right on Andy , that was fun, one of the only Sherman kits I dont have, great weathering and detailing !!! Are you going to do a build review and paint on the new RFM M4A3E8? Thanks Andy !! Great work!

Thanks Andy.

Looks great! Only thing missing is the rust on the end connectors of the track.

Your a machine Andy, another great video !!!

OMG... I instantly love the M51 Super Sherman. In my favourite tank game, WoT, it's closest analogue is the M4A1 Revalorise, which has a 105mm gun but painted in french colours.

Very nice build!

Great job

Super, es sieht so easy aus. Ich wünschte es wäre so und ich könnte das auch. Tolle Arbeit und ein super Ergebnis. Great.

Verry nice build ,I supose the stowage wasn't included with the kit ? Looking forward to see more video's of your work. Thanks for sharing !

Parabéns ... seus trabalhos são excelentes ... perfeitos ... quero muito poder fazer um desses também ... vou me preparar para comprar os acessórios ... aerógrafos ... pinças ... todo o material ... tintas ... Tudo que for preciso ...

Most excellent!

that looks awesome

Awesome Andy

I like this kit shes a good looking tank

Hi Andy! This video convinced me to get back into scale modeling, and I was just wondering - What color did you use to drybrush it, and how did you do the tracks? Hope you see this! :)

Beautiful work, how many actual hours did it take to finish? NOT including weathering. Thanks.

He Andy, I'm from the Netherlands.. Your videos are very nice! and it helps me to paint my military models! But, which colour green you use for the bags en the crates?

Magnifique

Awesome videos! I've just discovered your channel. Which airbrush do you use?

How do you use pigments ? I am new at this hobby and I was wondering what you mix with the pigment

Great build, thanks for sharing. Was wondering what you used for the antenna? Looks like metal, piano wire perhaps? Thanks

Great work.....but if you could slow down a little when switching paint, that'd be helpful.On this Sherman, near the end you switch to xf ? 5, for shadowing maybe.Do you do figures? tank crew? Would like to see how you do that.

Where did this stowage come from? It looks great!

I decided to buy the Academy one as it was cheaper and had more accessories PS could u send a list of all the u used Andy??

VERY NiCE! do the wheels roll?

hi andy, nice build...when i bought it, i thought that it was a asuka (tasca) model....what do you think??great kit!best regards

Hello...im beginner of this stuff, you need glued all parts?i thought it looks like gundam model

Did you use anything to show how the stowage is tied down?

I love and learn so much from your videos. Quick question on the painting. You showed both Buff and Desert Sand. Do you use one separately as a base and then the other as a lighter tone or do you make a mixture of the two? Thanks in advance.

one qestion does it have ruber band tracks ?

Hola andy...saludos desde Argentina!!!

What colour is correct for IDF super sherman ? Yours is a beauty

Did that antenna come with the kit?

This guy: does model gracefully Me: *HMMM MORE STICKY WATER REQUIRED*

Hi Andy great build what stowage set did you use ? Keep up the great builds as always 👍👍🙏

do you use acrylics or enamel paints??

Love me some Super Sherman!!

Hi Andy, Have you put together Dragon's version of this kit from mid 90's with the separate track links and a tiny PE fret? If so, what were your thoughts? Glad to see you're getting closer to 50K subscribers :)

Greetings from Germany. I´ve got a problem, I want to build the CSS Virginia in the Scale 1:32. Does anybody know where I can get some cheap plans of the ship? Thanks!

Looks like the carpet monster all most had a road wheel

good starter?

What kind of glue are you using and what is the drying time? Do you have to let it set before moving on to another step?

Is this a good beginner kit? And is this worth it for me at 30 bucks?

Can you do an IS-2 ?

Hey could you do the USS Alaska CB-1 by Hobby Boss

Very nice build, Andy. Can you point me in the right direction where I might find the stowage you used please?

Hi Andy, nice job with the sherman tank - what you doing with all your built tanks ? do you sale in your shop ?

Looks like this kit has 2 different exhausts, wonder hoe correct is it.

Hi Andy! i just wanna ask where is your hobby shop?

Is the tracks working?

Any tips for an Alternate Berlin diorama? I'm trying to build one that is 20x30 feet (Yes, it is that big) But I cannot find any affordable german/American Tanks that are highly detailed, but the only ones I've seen are revell kits from the local Michaels.

Andy, where do you get the stowage that you put on the tank?

Well done about you built israeli tank despite the pressure from the B.D.S
