nice job good video keep them coming

Fantastic work there, and a great video. I'll be trying that sand wash technique myself👍

incredible!

Ugh I've been wanting to start this as a hobby, but I'm so bad at anything I have to do with my own hands 😭 sad days

Your build videos are very calming and relaxing with your commentary and music choice John

What a beautiful work!! I'm collecting 72 scale because can save much more space for display, although a lot tanks model without this scale but only with 48 or 35 scale.😢😢

I getting ready to start my kit. Your video was incredibly helpful. Thanks. Do you have a list of paints & oil colors you used?

good job, thanks for the video!

Great work dude

Excellent build 👏👏👏👏👏

Fantastic work John!!! I wish my hands were steady enough to airbrush like you. I stumbled across your channel, and with this great first impression, I'm going to subscribe. Happy modeling!!

Everyone 's favorite part😂. That's where I gave up sometime.

Nice job John, great results. Kit looked really nice.

The 1mm wire is that the right size for 1/35 panzer IV

Awesome build! I came to this video hoping to see what aftermarket exhaust nozzles you got and now see you printed them yourself. I can't believe that a Tamiya kit this old and this popular yet also known for the bad exhaust nozzles has almost no aftermarket nozzles! It is crazy! "Tamiya F-15 1/48 nozzles" popped right up on Ebay, only for all the nozzles from F-35s, through F-14s, F16s, F-18s etc... to all say Tamiya and then the 2 options for the F-15 say G.W.H!! Then right next to that, is "Tamiya F-15C nozzles for 1/32 only! " WTF???

l am currently in the process of building this same kit. However, l have a set of friulmodel (ATL -66) metal track-links for the Merkava Mk. 2. Also, I will be using Legends (LF 1329) IDF Droid ATMD.

Great job which has a brought a great result. Impressive Merkava, John. A nice thing in the collection. Best wishes and a nice weekend. Joachim

Looks great John!

Hi John, Great video! This video must of taken quite a bit of time to put together. The final results are very nice! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

Lovely build of one f my favourite-looking tanks John - will need to build one myself now! 😀

Great build there John A . Mate your mate will be over the moon when he sees that beauty. ( Ivan)

Superb work John , love what you did with the interior

Looks cool. 👍

Love the merkava series and this kit looks great but I'm amazed they give you no way of showing the engine bay . Nice build of this kit . I built the hobby boss merkava 3D and tbh it left me feeling a bit flat . I must build a mk.v .

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great vidio John and awsome work stay safe and happy modeling

Hi John, that was a outstanding build, and you have done a truly excellent build and paint finish on the Merkava, it's a pity when it is all done you will not see the interior thst well unless you take the turret off, congratulations on a job very well done, best best regards from Australia, Les

Excellent job John

The video tells me you had lots of fun with the build of this Merkava kit. You made a stunning job on this, John! Awesome tank 💥👍💥

Hi John, Border Model are amazing kits. Just the instructions let them down eh!!

Good evening everyone.

J-A, where is episode 4 hiding? I can't see it in the playlist. 😢❤😢

I loved the "...fifty years of glue sniffing. " Comment, J-A. 🤣 My weakness isn't the glue. It's Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner. 😂 One day, I plan on building the Comet (like many things). However, I want to build either a Panzer IV or Stug III with full interior first. I just need RFM to up their UK supply chain.

I love a good Kate. When my skill level has increased I'll likely but this kit. Looking forward to your videos building this!

I’m not a big fan of Temu having read some disturbing things on how they treat their sellers. So I choose to support my local shops, but anyway the Kate looks awesome. I have the same kit, but then with the flight deck as well. Looking forward to the build. 💥👍💥

Glad you got some bargains John!

Apart from the decal issue, it looks like a nice kit. I have to say, though, after being used to aircraft in either 1/32 or 1/48, building one in 1/35 is going to feel strange. In my eyes, 1/35 is for armour. Regardless, enjoy the build when you get started. 😊❤😊

Nice haul John Alec

I guess the torpedo with the bigger fins is the Pearl Harbor version? The kit looks good, such a shame that the decals aren't that great.

Thanks for sharing you did a truly awesome job. Only thing that bothers me (probably cus everything else is so accurate) is that while Muttley’s ears are black , his fringe is light brown like the rest of his fur. This is awesome though well done .

Great teview John, my Temu Border Spitfire took a battering too, but thankfully kit is undamaged. I also brought the masking tape too!

Nice to see you like your Temu purchase, I'm always afraid the items won't be what it's advertised as.😮 have fun with the Kate torpedo bomber. Interesting book containing a modelers ramblings

Bargain John!! That Kate is a beautiful kit mate.

Great video, got some nice bargains there! Those Dspiae sponges are really good, I have a set myself.

Great review, been very tempted but agree the packaging can ruin the kit. thanks John Alec's

A lot of detail in that kit. Though the package is a little suspect. i will look up those other items. Thank you John

Biplanes can be and often are tricky. I guess they appeal to the masochistic side of my nature.

Great stuff indeed, John. Good to see the progress 👍🏻👍🏻
