Andy, with each video you get better at explaining and presenting. You are really adding to my model building experiences. That is a great model!

Wow, this kit is incredible. So many workable components! Great video Andy!

I just bought this same kit today and now that I've seen the finished product I'm really looking forward to building it. Thank you for another great build and video!

I recently finished Academy’s M-12 155m..loved it. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Looks like the additional barrel is a must. Love everything that Tamiya does

What a brilliant kit ......well done tamiya, great build Andy

One of the most detailed models I have ever seen. Thank you for your detailed explanation.

Great video! I really love how you show all of the viewers how to weather each kit specifically

WOW! This kit rocks!!!!! Amazing! The amount of detail you put into this as well as time and effort show that you really do love your craft!!!!

this reminds me of Matchbox M40 1/76 scale, thank you for sharing

The figures that Tamiya include in their newer kits are amazing...almost resin quality now!

Wow, that's some high praise! A must have, certainly.

What an exceptional kit. Amazing build video. Thanks for sharing this with us Andy.

Keep up the good work Andy. I'm sure the videos take a lot of your time but are exactly what hobbyists need. Your clear and simplified instructions help immensely and make it more fun. Wish your store was closer, I'd be a regular customer. Thank You!

I know this is an old build, but probably one of your best and one of my favourites....stunning kit, stunning video....

Excellent detail! Tamiya has come a long way since I was a kid.

1:35 spanner, great video changed my mind about this kit

Awesome videos! Keep up the great work. I had just started the M40 kit myself when I watched this. Thanks for the tips. I have one for you. In the past I've had the issue you've had with the TS-80 eating the decals. now I put a thin watered down coat of Vallejo Matt Finish over just the decal and havent had an issue since. Happy Modeling!

Hi Andy, Well you have produced another great video and a very good kit build, I always look forward to your videos. Happy Modelling, Les

I know this is a couple of years old but I've only been modeling for about a year and intended doing a German nashorn next but after seeing this kit and how it looks finished, I have to have one of these instead. I especially like the way things are workable like the breech. Expertly done Andy and a nicely done video too. I hope mine turns out half as good as this. I'll be well happy if it does. Thank you for your hard but enjoyable work from me in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

thank you for posting! amazing kit . beautiful job completing a weapon that was known in our outfit affectionately as 'Ma Deuce'. or 'Big Ugly Fugger'. Patton once called the 155mm "the greatest battlefield implement ever"!

Hey Andy this model kit was fun and thanks for giving me some tips and pointers

Guy I have just started making Tamiya 1/35 scale after 43 years since my last attempts. On my forth model an M40 self propelled gun. I have just given it a spray with Tamiya flat coat as seen in your video.what a great result. Keep up the good work Andy and keep making your videos.

Very enjoyable watch. Nice work And - love the paint and weathering.

Andy, I worked on them in the Army for 6 years it will rock your world good build Andy

Nice job and thank you very much, Andy

I like how this model turned out. It looked like a quite enjoyable build.

Love tthem Tamiya kits there well tooled , they just fall together. good video😃

Great work! Amazing job on the paint.

That tiny Box Wrench is pretty cool, would make a perfect addition for a Tank Repair Shop diorama

So perfect video for a beautifull kit ! Thank you Andy !!!

Very nice kit! The gun cradle assembly was very interesting with the scale wrench.

Great job of weathering process, it's cool!

Its so glorious. You have a great channel and do quality reviews.

Its good to see some dry brushing. Love your channel!!!

Wow I am impressed with the quality of this model.

Looks great Andy just ordered one for Christmas present along with the barrel kit

After watching, I think this might be my next build!

Nice work Andy, I have seen this in my hobby shop a couple of times but haven't bought it yet but it is on the list.

That is one nice model, although I shudder to imagine what it will cost retail. A very big "thank you" Andy, I have been using some of your techniques lately and they make a BIG difference in how my models look. Looking forward to your next video!

Andy, great build review. I have been following your channel for a while and I can honestly say I love it. Greetings from Sweden.

Great bild Andy,as always verry nice to watch your video's!!!!

That was an incredible job!

Great build Andy, excellent subject, all you need now is to do the crew ! and a diorama for it.

this kit is awsome

Great job Andy!

Great job on her Andy. Almost done with mine. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Could not have said it better about this kit. Awesome kit. Now I wish they would do a Bergepanther the same way. LOL

Excellent review! Congratulations and greetings from Argentina.

Great build, I am getting back into model building and this I want to be my first kit. Been shopping around for it.

A beautiful kit well built. A lot of nice options too with all the working parts.

I love your enthusiasm

Awesome. Would love to see a Trumpeter MTVR build.

Excellent video Andy! Definitely need to get myself one of these! 👍👌👏

Greetings from Holland Andy. Really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work! P.S. love the music too, very soothing...

Yet another great build Andy, thanks for §haring.

Another great looking and informative build Andy. Cheers

Thanks for this Clip, Andy. I've seen this kit for Sale and Not Bought it. Due to it's Cost. Now I know why..! It's Detail and Engineering is so Intense that's why it's 'A little more costly..!' Great work as Always and Thanx for your Efforts..! Finished Product looks Great..! Cheers from Oz & Stay well..!! Kim Downunder.😎

As always, great video and build!

Very nicely done, I really wish Tamiya would release a 1/35 M18 Hellcat someday.

wow, super detail...i like this kit...will be grab one later... :) nice building video also! i'm a fans of any millitary vehicle!

Thanks for the upload! I'm eyeing this kit on Ebay. If I ever manage to visit my mother in New Mexico, I'll definitely try and make it to your store!

excellent video Andy, i have one of those kits somewhere in my stash of models to build

Now I want to get that kit. looks very good!

Tamiya kit's are the best.Well worth the money

This looks to be a great kit and is defiantly on my shopping list, turned out really well, gj Andy :)

Tamiya makes good products. I climbed all over a M40 as a kid, a park in my town had one with open hatches even!

Excellent job & video!

Wow, that's some nice fitting of the parts, compared to when I put some kits together during the 80s... Nice video, enjoyed it!

Can't wait to get mine.

Since I'm recovering from lower back surgery and can't work on my models this is the next best thing, thanks Andy.

Tres belle vidéo j'adore vos video et les maquettes encore plus . Good vidéo :-)

WOOWWWWWWW... TAMYA IS ONE OF THE BEST!

Belle réalisation !! A+

Hey Andy, would love to see a Centurion tank done. Maybe even in Australian markings from Vietnam. Love your work mate!

you are an artist

Love the tank, love how you build it

Excellent!

excellent build and informative vids andy,regards from the u.k.

Andy there is something that I do to add a thick layer of mud on tanks. What I do is take revell filler, and apply it thickly under the wheel wells with a really stiff big brush. Make sure you do a sort of stippling technique. Then you just paint over it with whatever colors you want or the tracks are being wheatered to whatever. It will go through quite a bit of filler, but it is well worth it.

I have learned a lot from watching your videos, and want to say thank you.

Andy your videos are just plain fun....informative on these various kits. Inspirational as well. Apperciate your time and effort . How about a RFM Afrika Corp Tiger I? Build and paint? And the RFM M4A3E8 build and paint? Cheers!!!!

Cool beans, man! These are great!

I know this is an old video but I am glad I ran across it. I have this model on the way. I'll start the build in about a week. Seeing this will help me understand what I need to. It will also make the build go alot smother. Thank you for your time.

Great build, Andy. I don’t generally build military kits, but might need to consider branching out for this beautifully well-detailed kit. I wanted to ask you, though, most everybody I’ve talked to says you need to put decals on a slick surface vs. matt to ensure good adhesion as well as no silvering will occur as the vehicle ages. Beautiful build!

i loved! just loved!!!!

I like the dry brushing effect. It seems like no one does that anymore.

Just a quick comment regarding painting of OVE (On-vehicle equipment, shovels, axes, sledges, etc.), these implements were painted OD until 1st Gulf War. Handles as well as blades. You would experience shading (oils) in wooden handles and scraping of blades, however, but not natural coloring.

I like this kit alot thanks for the vid Andy btw xf60 is a great colour to use for your previous shading g with xf62 it's alot more complementary than white awesome build though kutgw cheers

Back in my elementary school days, I used to build Tamiya M-41 Walker Bulldog for the first time, and I recall HOW HARD for me to connect those rubber track. I tried everything from the manual, from gluing it with ALL KIND OF GLUE, staple it, up to heating it, but those DAMN RUBBER TRACK simply come loose when I tried to put it on those tank wheels. I quit building tanks from that moment on and switch to building aircraft models.

I love your work and all your tanks models you have a natural talent 💪🤓🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is great I feel like getting one😉👍

IVE BEEN USING A TESTORS BRAND DULLCOTE, WHICH LOOKS GOOD, BUT I FIND THAT IT CAUSES THE MARKFIT TO IMMEDIATELY BEAD UP & DISAPPEAR AS SOON AS I PUT IT ON. THINKING ABOUT SWITCHING TO THAT TAMIYA DULLCOTE YOU MENTIONED. GREAT BUILD, LOVE THE VIDEOS! KEEP THEM COMING!

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer once said......O... what a lucky man you are.........and you really are.

Bro just come across you I already love your vids

You obviously have done this many times.. I really love watching this kit being built. Are the writen instruction easy to follow? My friend wanted me to learn how to use an air brush to help him to paint the figures and the models. thanks for these great videos. I like watching this for sure.

thanks for posting another build video in 1//35. Also can you do a poll of various kits so we can vote on what your going to build next ?

Ahhh the old days when the intro would give you hearing damage akin to standing near a 155mm gun

Andy I love your channel. Great production and really nice presentation. I only wish you could build more planes and that you change the intro to something more advanced ;) To match the quality of your work!

cool arty!

Very nice video, i have this model somewhere in my pleasure of models to build.

Hi Andy, great video sbs again. You might wanna consider the scale factor when it comes to painting tough. As large surfases reflect more light they seem much brighter. The XF62 is the most correct color for olive drab in scale modeling, that is right. But at a scale of 1:1 ! To achieve an appropriate tone in 35th scale you may want to add ~25% of XF60 Dunkelgelb. During the weathering process the whole vehicle receives washes, fading dust and alike. This additionally darkens the vehicle so much that you end up with an olive drab that is too dark. The same rules apply to all colors you spray, Andy. Please give it a second thought and your models will improve even more. Cheers and happy modeling Gunnar
