Thank you guys for watching as I hope you don’t mind the less detailed quick and easy kits. I enjoy them just as much as the more modern kits today. Plus it allows me to upload more content for you all, just a little bit faster. But don’t worry I have more awesome detailed models on the way.😁👍 Happy Modeling :D

Hope to see more of your videos, keep up the great work

I built this kit when I was a small boy, using up all New Year savings. I was pretty astonished of the final result and that dragged me into small scale armour modelling. That kit was built oob with home brew crude cement and with a bare skin. Prints were not available then.

Very nice work! I think you have done a GREAT job one this one, one thing though, maybe you should try scratch building some things, like those things on top of the bogies, so the track stays flat on top. This kit is almost as old as the real tank!

Was test fitting one of the wheels and it got stuck (backwards I might add cuz I was distracted by 2 of my kids) and I broke the peg/pin that it sits on, grarg. Had to glue it in place 😞😫. Aside from that and some frustrating flashing that's taking me forever to clean up it's a fun lil kit so far.

I’m just starting out and I’m thankful for your videos. Quick question. I’ve seen a lot of people say put down a varnish before weathering. Is there any reason to do this? Does the water in the weathering paint affect the acrylics of the base coat? Thank you and I really enjoy your videos.
@Modkits131
@Modkits131 2 жыл бұрын
I usually varnish my models before the weathering stage, but mainly for that nice sheen. For me I personally like using Satin/Semi-gloss varnish on my models. But a varnish isn’t always necessary. Unless you’re using strong chemicals like enamel thinner, odorless thinner and anything else that may damage your paint job. And no the water does not affect the main base coat. Thank you, it’s heartwarming to hear that you enjoy my videos. Hope this was helpful to you.

I’m using Vallejo model color paints and thin them down with just water. If you want a ratio to help you with brush painting. Try 2 drops thinner to 7 drops of paint. :)

@Modkits131
@Modkits131 Жыл бұрын
Yup, your absolutely right. Priming and varnishing is the best way for your model to have longevity and withstand handling. In this instance, it’s not always necessary to prime or varnish when it comes to a static model with little to no handling. Or when the model is purely just plastic. Overall it comes down to people’s personal preferences on what they do with their models. Thank you.

Su Airfix classic kits never fit well and actually require better fitting skill than modern kits, but that's part of the fun. Watchmaker's brooches are superb for enlarging location holes. Great end result from such a mediocre kit! The Airfix Lee/Grant would look good alongside your Sherman, and it's actually one of the better quality Airfix Classics.

@@Modkits131 If you like the Airfix classic kits you'll probably also like the old Matchbox armour kits. Many are now sold by Revell in 1/76 scale (not 1/72) with cool mini diorama bases. They do tend to have a higher parts count than Airfix Classics but still have that 'build in a single afternoon' fun factor (I was that kid in the 1970s). The Sherman Firefly on a broken bridge is a favourite of mine or the M40 GMC for it's sheer heavyweight muscle.
