Gidday Andy from Australia! I just got the 'regular' panzer 1B model without the 'catapult'. I'm just gonna paint mine a bluish grey instead. This is my first 1/16 tank model. I've started working on the tracks first. The track links are very good, so much so that I'm gonna leave them 'workable'. Others have said the track pins break easily, so I bought some 0.7mm diameter brass plated steel 'head pins' from the local $2 'bits n pieces & craft shop. Enough pins for the whole tank plus plenty of spares cost me only 9 bucks. I cut off the heads of the kit track pins & glued them on the outside of the track links, as 'caps'. Then I cut & filed the ends of the steel pins to just under 16mm length. I'm awaiting delivery next week for a punch & die set to make 1.6mm caps for the inside ends of the track link pins, to stop them falling out. I reckon the tracks are gonna be quite sturdy, & work well with the rotatable wheels & sprockets. I've only done one side with the steel track pins so far. It's a VERY tedious process phew! - But it's working out very well so far! In fact the pins fall out of the links under gravity, so I have to keep the track with the open end uppermost until I can glue the little punched inner caps on! I've seen ebay adds for 1/16 tanl track pins for $168!

Seeing a tiny Panzer 1 looking so huuge is really fun.

I go to you store a lot recently, getting ships and paints. I just found this video in my reccomended, didnt know you had a youtube. Thats really cool

I’m glad to here your classical music is back 👍

Andy is the Bob Ross of Models. You cannot change my mind.

Thank you Andy for another excellent video. I really like your videos as they are all "out of the box" built, no complicated and hard to handle aftermarket parts, no "rivets counting", .... Just built, paint and enjoy. Just that simple!

I would like a 1/16, full interior, cutaway or clear hull/turret M4 Sherman to be produced. 🤞 I'm glad that Andy's business is doing well. Maybe we'll start to see some expansion with franchises.

I have only one word Andy,.........AWESOME !!! great video, great Kit ! outstanding modelling ! Thank you.

since I started watching your channel I've noticed more people using " let's get started " as an introduction

Good to see and hear from you Andy I was going through withdraws from lack of your vids Lol Cool stuff Andy!!!!

Hi Andy .. I just finished the regular B version ..I did notice you have the front mantlet on upside down .. also check your parts .. you are missing the springs for the rear fenders and also the two pins that hold the tow cables on the front of the vehicle. Thanks again for a great video .. they are always upbeat and inspirational

Thanks Andy. Once again you make it look so easy.

Great to see you back Andy, thanks for posting and sharing

Panzer I with bird house in the back :)

Great to have you back!

Just got mine I bought from your online store last week. Thanks for the build video.

Great to hear from you again Andy yet again you have given us a very informative video and a great build Steve 🇬🇧

Super build Andy, love to see a ton more videos.

Great to see you back been missing you these last weeks! Love your enthusiasm as always.

You may want to re-edit as you managed to put in two segments with the NATO black chipping sponge. Gave me a bit of a Groundhog Day moment😂. Still a great tutorial and education for anyone not familiar with Strauss❤️

On the first look it looks like a commander version equipped with a box for messenger pigeons. :-) And responding to your question, yes Abwurfvorrichtung auf Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf.B was put into the production (about 100 of them were actually built) and yes they were used in combat, both on Western Front and also at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa.

One of the smaller IRL 1/16 will probably be my first go at the scale.

Pretty Darn Spiffy There Buddy, thanks for Sharing n God Bless All.

Yes another video. Thanks Andy.

Your videos are always great and in 4k now... Thank you

Looks like a nice kit Andy......... Great build!!!!! 👍👍👍

Great build and weathering Andy.

Lovely kit and nice bit of weathering. I always have problems trying to make my tanks look dusty

Outstanding video and presentation.

Awesome build!

Now that is a nice kit! sweet build

Thank you Andy's back! missed ya 😜

Nicely done.

Great work beautiful model 👍

just got my tiger 1 thanks Andy.

Im building the 1/16 Wiesel right now, its the first set of built tracks Ive actually enjoyed.

Looks great!

Nice video can’t wait for a another one:)

Oooh yes ... another great video !!!

Fantastico me lo regalerò di sicuro

This is 1/16 but the Hull is thesame size as my maus in 1/35 scale i made a few months ago so it is crayzy

Nice work!

Great model

Nice kit I got the Spanish one to do in this scale from mig from the Spanish war well done Andy 😄

I've built a few of these kits and I find it much easier to put the front drive sprocket in the front housing extension, press the cap onto the axle on the wheel and take out all the slack then glue the cap from the backside. Then glue the whole assembly to the hull. Greatly reduces the risk of gluing the wheel solid and takes up any slop in the wheel. Great video. My kit just arrived from you last week.

very nice job

I love this nice kits too

I’ve been buying a lot from you , your selection is super Thanks again Jesus

Nice! Being a pedant that aerial looks a bit chunky for mine. Electric guitar strings are my go to now for aerials. Can get nice thin gauges and they flex like a real aerial.

Looks like this will be a great video. Keep up the good work Andy.

agreed, 1/16 is nice to work on

I cannot build anything this big cause I don't have a place to put it on... 😢 Nice build again, Andy! 👍👌😉

15:26 track tension！ *some happy Chieftain noises*

A fantastic video and build as always! I need to get this but where to put it. My stash is getting out of hand, well at least according to the Mrs. LOL!!

Hi Andy, that is another Masterpiece from you, I am like one or two others, I get 'Andy' withdrawal, hope all is well with you and your family and customers , best regards from Australia

Fresh

Like that one noticed you got tracks correct way to the dak one at start!

i just built that kit its great did not add the boom in the back no room for it but i did build it

NICE ONE BUT CANT SAY IT S BEEN SEEN ON ANYTHING I'VE WATCNHED WILL LOOK INTO THIS CHEERS , CANT WAIT FOR THE STORE ROOM .

Hey Andy, those German panzer track return roller were rubber, early in the war.

nice!

Just to tell you that yes it was used in the Spanish Civil War. For the name Panzerkampfwagen I (German for "armored fighting vehicle mark I"), abbreviated as PzKpfw I.

Great ~~

Conflicting sources - one says only a prototype; however Doyle and Chamberlain book says that devise was mounted on 10 Pzkpfw 1 Ausf B on the 3 Pz Pionere KP=p of each Pioneer Battalion in the Pz Div

I didn't read all comments... but i think this strange thing on the back work's just like a ancient roman onager. A machine who did throw stones to the enemies. But this one did throw explovsives.

great video Andy, question for you, when I was a more prolific armour modeller, mostly post wwII, i tended to paint and weather to a certain level, the lower hull upon completion, this helped greatly with those tanks with skirts....is this something you've thought about? It won't work with all, but certainly, where a kit is so designed as to have a distinct upper and lower hull build, it allows easier and fuller access to the running gear, lower hull sides and tracks.

Hi Andy great video, it appears to be that the gunmantlet of the machine guns is upside down. I hope there is a way to fix it

Another awesome build! How did you bend that PE over the muffler? It looks very round like the real one

Just got it, cant way to build it. You might want to make paint packages for your kits.

I would like to ask what kind of glue you using? I always use same glue for my models, but the one you use seems so much better, doesn't destroy plastic at all, not sure if it smells or not, but does look really good and would love to give it a try but can't find anything similar. Thank you

Hmmm... Looks kinda... Petarded? ;D I love it.

That's a great looking kit by Takom. What kit do you recommend for the Pz.Kpfw.1 at 1/32 scale?

been watching your channel for 1 month I'm gonna subscribe. and I have a question andy is the panther type g late good for beginners? because I was planning to get one.

Where'd you get that cool Glue Holder? Did you make a video talking about it?

i didnt know theres this type of variant.. its probs not used or just prototype similiar to other mine related vehicles

Interesting model. What turntable do you have?

Hi Andy, I just started building models awhile ago and would like to know what are the best brands you recommend to buy?

I love your vids you are the. Best

What type of paintbrush are you using to do the chipping?

Do you have any other build videos planned

One of the hinges on the turret hatch is glued in wrong position

I do have a question Andy, is it possible to do a model of the same quality that you show us here without painting it with an airbrush? Using paintbrush only.

Backing up against a bunker withe explosives rather than frontally? Is that soldiering? A holder for glue in the background. Something I probably don't need but will buy anyways. Beautiful build! Makes me want to try a bigger kit other than 1/35 but I think it'll just magnify my mistakes. I'm sure you've been busily working on the warehouse empire. Welcome back.

Where did you get the tweezers that you use in this video?

Wish Tamiya would start making interior kits, I heard that China got Japanese model kit designers to set things up for them!!

Mr Engineer, we need something to carry two M13 machine guns as a training Tank, Mr Engineer : Hold my Beer 🍺 👉🏻 6 Ton later ….Panzer 1 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Super Model 👌🏻😎

Do you have the Tamiya glue holder on your site?

hey andy has the shipping started back up yet? thanks

The part where the machine guns are mounted is badly mounted, it is just upside down

Too bad Takom doesn't offer Metal Tracks, Wheels, etc. for their tanks, because metal chassis would add a more realistic look to them than just being a display model or if one wants to transform the Pz I into a working RC and play with it outdoors like other 1/16 RC Tanks.

Takom. 1 16. Panzer. I b Complete build panting

Where have you been I was getting woried

It was used. About 200 was build.

BIG BOI

Did you realise you fitted the gun mantlet upside down?

neither of your links to FB page or Patreon work, get dreaded 404 error

Has montado el glacis al revés..... Jejeje....

30:40 this is duplicated

Great content, but way too many ads.......

What I hate about 1/16, is that they take up a shitload of space when finished.
