Fantastic airbrushing. For the "glass" cover on the dashboard instruments, try first putting a small drop of clear acrylic in the center of the dial without letting it touch the edges. After letting it dry a little, slowly fill in the rest of the area with the clear until it touches the edge of the dial. It should make for a smoother surface and reduce or eliminate the meniscus forming in the clear paint if applied all at once. For metal surfaces like the rear view mirror, try applying VMS steel metallic pigment (No. 25) to the silver painted area and burnishing it down to a shinny metallic finish. Thanks for a great build and video.

The best modeler ever is Francois Verlinden from Belgium. He had a small model shop in the Antwerp town of Lier, where his dioramas were on display. I literaly spend hours just admiring them. Mr and Mrs Verlinden where both very down to earth people, although he was already famous. It was sad whe he moved to the US to start a new business.

Good job the desert paint over the gray was a great idea!

You are the reason Why i have purchased a airbrush at 50 years and started to learn painting and attempt to do what you show us, so thank you for that. Keep up making greet models and detailing 👍

Excellent job. Thank you. My only suggestion is to glue a bit of plastic mylar into the circle area recess of the your side view mirrors to replicate an actual side view mirror.I use a paper punch to make this for my 1/35 scale vehicles. The punches come in several diameters available at Hobby Lobby and some well stocked Michaels stores.

I admire the fact that model makers are willing to add details that the viewer may never see or ones that will end up getting covered later down the line

You and Plasmo are my favorite modelers to watch on here - you deserve way more subscribers!

GREAT JOB! The stowage and overall weathering are EXCELLENT.

That was a GREAT JOB!!! Thank you for sharing👍🏼

This is gorgeous. My favorite part is the seats. They look amazing.

great job, with a nice contrast between the colors

Fantastic work. You're right up there with Uncle Night Shift & Plasmo, in my opinion. Well done 👍

This was an amazing build by a very good modeller .wow such attention to detail. And weathering awesome. Thanks James from LPJ models.

You are definitely one of the top modellers on KZfaq: very clear and precise instructions to follow, great camera work. I lost my mojo but got it back because of you!

Thanks so much for the video. I so like the way you are showing the weathering with the AK dust and Earth and the Wilder Aqualines. Yes I am a noob but I learn that from you.

That was a fantastic build, I'm still in the early stages of learning so that was very helpful to me, thank you!

Beautiful work, and I love the music which you selected for the video.

Excellent work.

Very nice Kübelwagen! It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Many thanks for this!

Excellent

very nice build mate thanks for sharing

Cracking Job mate. I build 1/6th scale but have learnt some tips and techniques I'll try to add to my models keep doing what your doing. You say and show in an easy way to follow for any modeller.

Your voice and accent remind me of a young Michael Caine, so Im automatically associating you with an authority figure! The model is a classic, but there are a few bothersome moulded on details, like the blob door handles and tiny tie down rings. Tiger Model Designs has these items door knobs and tie downs for various kinds of army vehicles. Thanks for your detailed build, Im 65 and have had this hobby on and off since I was 19 and it helps to see another person build a kit fully. Almost all of us need help with problems we have sometimes built up for a long time. Thanks for making my hobby more enjoyable!
