If i follow correctly you glue everything except the wheels, because you start airbrushing in the next video without wheels/tracks. Love the video as a starter!!! Purchased the Tamiya SU122 1/35 before finding this video else i would have taken this Panzer 🙂

Just getting back into this after 50 years. It's all changed! Starting with this kit, so this will be very useful, thanks.

Awesome! Drilling all those holes, wow! I'm motivated for aftermarket tracks seeing that. Looking great, looking forward to the next episode👍

A Tamiya kit where the parts can go in only one way to prevent a mishap, sound like Poka Joke, a Japanese term that means "mistake-proofing" or "inadvertent error prevention". Very nice build 👍🏻

I am building the version that came out last year. I dont remember the name of it but it had something special about the turret. Also it came with two versions one in DAK and another in Russian panzer korps.

Just wanted to thank you for your channel…..as a former armor modeler I am going to resume the hobby! I just found the TANK Museum channel in the UK, and it seems to be a valuable place to do some great research! Peter Vermont USA

Awesome video!!! Remember purchasing this kit shortly after it was released and started building it - think got it roughly 75% complete before got distracted on other kits. Watching this video got me re-interested in kit, now just have to remember where it is buried at. Also, BIG THANKS!!! for showing how the track links go together, a lot of other channels just skip that part or barely show how they go together. I found that using Testors Liquid Cement does a great job when constructing link-n-length tracks. May have to try that hollowing out of those openings in the tacks that you pointed out - looks simple enough. Also, NEVER thought about using a rubber band to help keep the tracks in place while trying to position them onto vehicle - definitely have to remember that!! Anyways, great video and look forward to the next one.

I just built this same kit, though it appears to have been older tooling. The lower hull was basically one whole piece and had the rubber tracks you melt together.

Looking good so far my friend, you are correct when you mention about Tamiya engineering, but I still think they could learn a few things from some of the newer kit companies, looking forward to the next installment, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

IIRC only the late J used the tracks with the holes called lightweight tracks, the other ones had no holes. It has been a while I was into german armour though. 😊 At least the Panzer IV tracks by Modelkasten were marketed that way.

@AdamMann3D Жыл бұрын

The holes are for adding tiny teeth called hammerstollen.

@ChampionScaleModelling Жыл бұрын

That’s the one! Thanks 👍

@rons5438 Жыл бұрын

Hammerstollen! That is the word you were looking for. But yes, they were a type of ice cleats used by the Germans in WWII, along with Gabelstollen and Mittelstollen. Winterkette and Ostkette weren't accessories like the allied "Duckbills" but were rather molded right on the tracks. I run an ebay store and offer all of these in affordable 3D printed versions in 1/72 - 1/6th scales. Ping me if interested in finding out more. ; ]

@statoilbensin2190 Жыл бұрын

Really? I once built a Miniart kit and I hated how bad it went togheter. Icm is better however Italeri is the best in my opinion.

@@statoilbensin2190 The new kits are much better - give them a try. Although the lower hull assembly is a flat pack design the parts do fit and line up well with minimal warping.

Question, do you use decals for the Panzer Crew? The detail is just amazing for the shoulder boards etc.

@ChampionScaleModelling Жыл бұрын

Yes from the Tamiya Crew set, it is a separate kit, they also do a decal sheet for the insignia, saves a lot of hassle! Thanks

Drilling out the tracks = OCD lolz. Fair play. How much better than the original Tamiya Pzr IV D from the 70s is this kit? The one that costs about £15. Doesn't seem worth an extra £30 for mine!

@ChampionScaleModelling Жыл бұрын

I would say there is no comparison in regards of accuracy, in shape and from a far they look the same but this new kit is miles ahead in terms of finesse and accuracy. That’s without mentioning the 70s release is a D and this is an F 😶

@ChampionScaleModelling Жыл бұрын

Oh and the figures are at least £5 worth if not more
