I went with after-market tracks on this kit, as I ALWAYS lose track horns when I mount the tracks on the roadwheels. Frustrating, especially when they're eaten by the 'carpet monster'.

Hey, how do you paint the tracks after gluing them like this? I'm putting this model together right now, these tracks are driving me nuts. Those ring things fall off when installing the track... I'm so pissed

Wow not to bad at all. Thanks I hav been make mine for 1/72 with little jig I made. I made a small, s jig for the middle buckles. I like your way better.

Brooklyn accent? It weighs a lot…20 pounds!!!!

Nice job. Truly top drawer. Curiously, I wondered how you were going to salvage such "troubled weathering" on the top surface of the wings but your technique rallied to pull it off. I'll try it out myself as the effect was quite pleasing. Thank you for sharing. I actually had no idea the Romanian air force was active around Stalingrad during the siege. Keep up the good work.

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 🙂

Good video, with one caveat: if this was intended for new modellers, be aware that most newbies don't have an airbrush and might even be hesitant to use rattle cans. For a tutorial video, I would have recommended painting everything with a brush just like our ancestors did.

KoPro is a standard abbreviation and one of their trade names.

Cheers for this. I've just acquired a Harder & Steenbeck Ultra 2024. I'm minded to try out some mottling on an old kit.

Cool little kit. Apologies as you may have stated before. How did you become interested in modeling the Spanish Civil War? As always, thanks for sharing.

Another cool subject. I always enjoy listening to you discuss these short-run aircraft kits. Not what I will build but I can appreciate the background you provide and the qualities of these kits. And it's impressive that these short-run kits are still better than plenty of kits from some of the big brands 30 years ago. Cheers!

Love to see you build the Subaru. Compared with my amateur standard I'll definitely learn a lot from your process and technique.

I owned a impreza for 6 years .... best cars in the world... power sound etc just perfection ... road tax and insurance not so much 😂

Now this is what I have to practice to get my scale model aircraft to really come alive...Thank You so much

I am building this one right now. Precision and fit of the parts exceeds my expectations by far. I didn't expect this level of quality from tiny company in Ukraine. Especially after seeing some really bad product from some of them.

I've realised that what I like is a model that has a story behind it. And that means more often than not, that now I'm going to have to do a base or small vignette. In some cases when I haven't got the time or inclination I think I might use something pre-made, so I've had a look around and I've seen some good aircraft bases and backgrounds at Coastal Kits.

Hi Jason, I think it is worth making a distinction between weathering and shading if you are going turn out a pristine finish model. There are painting techniques that enhance the realistic look of a model without spoiling the pristine finish, for example a panel line wash on an aeroplane shouldn't be called weathering. Cheers, Pete.

Good to see you! 👍👍👍

Cars? Sure. I’ve said it before - what you show and say is interesting, and it’s my belief that techniques (Cars, Warhammer, whatever) are transferable. Go for it.

The Kit is good, but the tracks are absolute shit!!!

Thanks for another super video, Jason. I am totally with you when it comes to "clean" models. Yes, I know armour needs at least a modicum of weathering and not all planes are clean and shiny, but still... Which is partly why I recently switched to car modelling full time. There's a great deal of very different enjoyment to be had from producing a showroom finish car. And, also, I have forsworn aftermarket stuff, mainly because, as a pensioner, I can't afford the extra cost, but also because the challenge of creating a good result out of the box appeals to me. Any road up, I'd love to see you build the Subaru! All the best, as always.

Do the Impreza! Would love to see that.

Interesting listening to you and where you are with your models. At the moment I am building the Airfix Bulldog. I think it's very Airfix but builds well. I have done the fuselage so far and just on the exterior paint f the fuselage. My next model is/was going to be the Otto Carius Tiger but I was rather disheartened to hear that the figure is rather bland. Otto Carius had a rather distinctive face so a figure with a doll like face won't cut it for me and I don't fancy spending another £25 for a decent figure. Maybe a Hornet head is the answer.

Looking forward to seeing you create bases. I have never based a model and have always wanted to. I hope you can keep the theme of keeping it basic and simple for beginners on at least one or two like you did with the armour building series you did. Thank you

Young scale moddeller here. This comment section really makes me happy. I love making models, but i wouldnt say im very good at it, but thats not the point. If it looks like a spitfire to me and it looks like a spitfire to my mates, then thats what matters! And also the older kits just pose more of a challenge!!!

Yes please cover the making of the car.

Car build on channel, a yes from me

Nice video! Will there be a video covering the painting of this kit as well?

Yes please share your car builds. When I started modelling again it was cars, definitely learnt a lot about painting and decals!

Good luck with the rally car. I did one for a change of pace. The build is a piece of p!ss but the decals killed me. I did a Toyota Celica. Decals covered literally 70% of the model with lots of complex curves and edges. Maybe the WRX decals aren't so bad.

I enjoy all your video's, even if it's just talking, always good to find out about something from a fellow modeller, if you want to build a car or three, I say go for it, still a good watch.

I would watch you build and paint a car :)

I am not a big fan of German armor & aircraft. And honestly I had never considered the Spanish Civil War until watching your videos. But you obviously care very much and it shows in your work. I watch and look forward to every video because you make it interesting. I am keen to see what you do with the figures and bases. And I think a car here and there will be great. Cause at the end of the day I enjoy "spending time" with you and I usually learn something new in each video., regardless of the subject. Keep up the good work. And thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

What’s happening with the shelf queen KV-1 at the back of shot?

Feels like there should be a congratulations regarding the rest of the room... Separately, I mainly enjoy the planes and tanks, but would absolutely watch the car because I enjoy your videos

Love your vids. I am a aircraft modeler but have started on a few cars, so would love to see you do a car model. Thanks for all you do.

Cars ……YES …..please

Thanks for another great video, I am a plane guy but now I'm into tanks and armour and also military trucks. Whatever you decide to build I shall be watching, because a lot of your videos have inspired me to build better models, thanks.

I’m relatively new on the beginners guide to armour modelling and have built the Panzer II, Stug IV and now on the Churchill using your guides to this so really looking forward to more content on this. Planes would be good too. Great stuff!

With the Tamiya car body mount, I've taped over the metal bits with some soft electrical tape so they don't scratch the paint or plastic - highly recommend using it for painting aircraft, with each metal bit under each wing.

Found your channel a few weeks ago when I saw a Tamiya logo and was brought back to my early youth brother models. Honestly, I don’t mind watching cars (Especially such a fine Subaru) cause in the end the model is only the device on which what brings me back which is the clear and informative narration is added unto, Continue the entertaining content as your heart desire

I’m trying cars at this time too. Done tanks, planes, gundam until now. I will definitely watch!

Great stuff mate, really enjoyed the chat! Love what you've got planned, so much to look forward to. And yes, please build the Impreza! I've got mine half done and stalled for about 18 months 😢 Thanks for posting. 👍

Could it be a DUKW?

Great update! Could you share what bulbs you’ve got in those Ikea lamps please? I’ve got the same lamps but looking for something brighter than the standard bulb, need some pointers 😊

Hello My friend 🤙

Thinking about buying a 3 d printer but am a little worried about the learning curve.

Great update

The thumbnail shows an incredible beautiful car. 🧡 I hope the Lancia 037 will follow.
