My friends, let's build the prettiest tank destroyer ever made! And it's going to be a thing of beauty - magnificent kit from Meng, excellent Masterclub metal tracks, Voyager photo etch set, life-like figures from Panzer Art, and some resin stowage!

I recently went to The imperial war museum in Duxford for my birthday and my favourite part of the day was seeing the jagdpanther as it is my favourite tank from the Second World War. Seeing this video has inspired me to finally make a 1/35 Jagdpantger that I hope will look half as good as yours does.

I agree, after I assemble my models I let them sit on my shelve for a month or two just to admire all the work I did before I cover them with paint. Sometimes a year or two on some particular ones. Keep up the fantastic work. And keep the faith.

Hi Martin. I always watch your video with a mix of fascination and jealousy( lol!) Anyway, this is really helping stuff. I have a question for you: which compressor and airbrush did you buy for the paibti g of your models? I plan to get both and I am a bit lost regarding those which can be reasonably priced but also have to be efficient. Thank you for advicing me if you have time.
