Just finishing my Tacom 1/16 Jeep and I have to say even if you are not a 1/16th builder get this kit ! I ordered my kit from Andy's Headquarters and when it arrived I was impressed ! The detail was amazing. Good if not better than a Tamiya kit ! The fit was spot on and gives you the chance to go nuts super detailing the little Jeep. I added the Aber .50cal. barrel set and .50cal. ammo belt ( the .50cal. belts will drive you crazy bending to shape, but look amazing ! ) all from Andy's also. I just wish they would have added the M1 to the kit though. Their kit price was well below other sites and I got mine before anyone else had the kit ! Thank's Andy ! I think it's time for his Sherman kit !

Yes and when assembling the chassis, make sure that both sides line up otherwise, one side will end up longer. I made that mistake and it took forever to un-glue them without damaging it.

My kit arrived today to much excitement. An inspection of the sprues reveal the extensive detail which includes casting numbers etc on the engine block, wow! The molding is exquisite with no flash. I spent a little time beginning with the figure to kinda get a feel for the scale. The parts are a near perfect fit and the sculpting very nice. The figure will be a joy to paint. I am very pleased with this great new kit and also with the speed with which Andy's shipped it to me. Always first rate customer service. Thanks, Andy.

As someone who has restored a Ford GPW (which is the exact same vehicle with only miniscule differences) i tip my hat to this model. The color you made the seats is actually closer to the true color than just a straight khaki. I did notice a couple of things that made me cringe a little, but I have to remind myself that a model this size cannot be as painstakingly accurate as the real thing. Great job, Andy.

@bigezee 2 жыл бұрын

@M Nunya the same along with the bumperettes aren't exactly to scale and when he initially put the star on the hood, which was too large, it wasn't high enough towards the windshield. Like I said, stuff that, at this scale, you can't get exactly right.

Seen the decals for tire pressure 20psi on front tire and 35 on rear ... I assume the weight of the engine would require more pressure on front tires.. Am I wrong? thanks

@bigezee 2 жыл бұрын

@@mmotorhead generally speaking you're correct. However, given the dimensions and weights of the MB, you'd actually be more worried about load capacity. With men, equipment, trailers, etc, more concentrated on the rear, the rear would end up weighing more than the front. The engines in these things weren't all that heavy.

Great kit and build! I am ordering one today! I love the scale, much easier to build when the parts are not micro sized. I also build ship models and would love to see someone come out with large scale USS Juneau. This ship was made famous by the Sullivan brothers who were all lost when the ship was sunk. There is only a 1/700 scale of this in plastic and a 1/350 in resin. The Atlanta class AA Cruisers have really lines and would make an excellent 1/200 scale kit. Thanks for the another great video and for advancing large scale kits!

Andy, you missed painting the Service Drive stop signal lens on the light unit below the Jerry can. Unless activated by the driver, it should appear as a half-moon scarlet gloss color. Of course, the lower half lens would be clear gloss black, as well as the two other lenses on the other side. They were all the night driving Black-Out Drive lenses. As a reward for pointing that out to you, I sure could use a Tamiya M20 Utility Car. LOL

Super looking kit, just a bit of original information - the steering wheel shown is as fitted to early MB's (they were made by Sheller in 'plastic') - very early (1942) were all black then were all green before being built with the later steel spoked wheel. Therefore the model steering wheel should be either all black or all olive drab but correctly for a 1943 MB it should have the wheel with steel spokes.

Someone should make a tableau of that famous bit of WW2 footage of the guy driving/bouncing the Jeep with the back end fully alight. (It's a pretty well known piece of film...it's only a couple of seconds and is part of a bigger film on the European Theatre). This model is by far detailed enough to be able to do justice to that wild footage of a piece of history.

@@ZIPPRERZING I'm not sure. I think it may have been in battle of the bulge combat footage. You sorta see a side shot of a jeep bouncing down a mild incline from right to left, heading sorta towards the camera man and it fills a good portion of the frame. The guy driving it is pretty heavy set and wearing army conbat gear and i think he has his helmet on. Im not sure if its been colourised over the years, but im guessing that its likely as its one of those 'oh wow!' bits of footage from ww2The whole back of the jeep was on fire. If you see it, you'll know it....it used to get used in a lot of European Theatre WW2 documentaries. I think it may have been the result of an artillery barrage.....it all looks pretty chaotic. If you watch a doco of the battle of the bulge, you'll probably spot it. You'll know it when you see it.
