Thank you this helped me alot i am picking mine up and all i had was a bachmann dcc

I buy them here $100 each

$195.00 dec. 2024, ebay...NCE power cab

Iis possible smoke to kato N big boy?

I remember building one. At that time, I wasn't a very competent modeler. My models had huge seam lines running through them. So the fit/engineering is something I didn't really scrutinize as much as I do today. But I still remember it having fairly large gaps and seems. And some of the fuselage parts require a lot of wrestling to fit together. The biggest headache for me was the landing gear. It's a two-part design attached together with a pivot. So getting the angles wrong is very easy. Do you have any recommendations? I'm thinking of having another go. I now live in China (Brit expat). They cost about £85 in the UK, but less than £30 in China! I'll throw on some Reskit aftermarket R-24 and R60m missiles!

Dungeon crawl classics... this is not that

What about accuracy?

These can be great for running the sound on dc track. What no one (or few) seems to mention is that running DCC on DC track, even if the loco says it's designed to do so, is that it takes soooo much power to run the sound that any remaining power going to make the loco move is so limited that you'll only get maybe 1/2 speed at best at full power. If anyone has been able to get past this problem, I'm all ears. But it isn't really worth having all these sound features activated on DC if the loco moves at a snail pace. Someone needs to make a DC loco with at least a whistle that periodically blows on DC without sapping all the power so it can still move. The BL one that I have came with engine sounds, but no whistle. I'd much rather have the other way around, but it's still kind of a dumb feature to have if the loco won't really move anyway.

Hey thank you for your post, this has helped me out, I am absolutely building an N scale layout now that I find that its possible to use dcc with N scale layout's.🚂

This kit has a lot to admire and I'm getting myself another one ! Nothing touches it!

Ooooooh,look at the size of that.!.I bet it’s hard to even get your hands around it..🫢..Ok,enough of the Carry-on..That looks really impressive and well done Hobbyboss and well done for building it..Amazing it builds well and suddenly I want one and I’m not into 1/24…But this kit looks fun as it looks incredible.!

Since the transformer has 2 track poles one to each???

Do you connect to the track or accessories on the transformer

Take my money!

Kool, i am sold

Does it come with both the noses shown in the box art?

You can only run 1 O scale engine (On30)?

Liked your review 👍. Just a little information for you. The roundles are actually called stars and bars.

It looks like I can’t find it

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I'm planning to get this one, how long did it take you to build it?

Hi, great job! Newbie here…is it a snap on or all needed to glue? Thank you for the video!

I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!! 👍

Beautifully put video, I plan to buy and build one now after watching this, now is there an F35B 1:18 SCALE or close to 1:18 out there?

I accidentally dropped my other smoke fluid from 38112 and i bought this product the “diesel power” it worked but it made it smell bad in the smoke stack tube from 38112 is a g scale it smell like burns

Wouais c'est un gros modèle; mais on aurait aimé le voir un peu plus au lieu de ton sourire niais! Ah! comme j'ai regarder d'autres vidéos sur ce modèle, j'ai pu constater que contrairement à ce qui est dit dans cette vidéo, l'assemblage est très approximatif, et il faut prévoir beaucoup de mastic et ponçage pour combler les trous entre les pièces....

It's a Y6B so of course. Always the Y6B. An epic locomotive.

how can I change the whistle sound cv because when I hit the whistle it makes a couple of sound and I don't have the DC Master but I do have a nce power cab for DCC bec this made for both dc/dcc blueline,and have to say this is one of a big headache,iv been looking on Google and nothing I found is helping,oh and when I do a factory reset it's still the same way not sure what the factory did but this is not fun to fix.

Getting ready to start this kit this weekend. Doesn't sound like there are any major issues at all to look out for. Thank you for the review.

Nice kit for it's age but Tamiya blew it with the intakes big time. Aftermarket intakes are needed and are costly and are a pain to install. Tamiya's decal's are printed by themselves, not Cartograph and are known to be overly thick. They could have done a better job on such a large scale kit for a company known for it's superb quality models. This is just my view on this one kit. Cheers.

Will this work with my Bachmann standard dc controller? Figured I would ask before I purchase one

Awesome....

You can't beat Tamiya for its engineering, perfectly fitting together ( pieces) , detailed yet not cluttered like other Chinese model makers, Tamiya's easy to follow instructions, and personally, the best box art.

Thanks for building my kit Mike, super glad you had a good time with it! Looks amazing!

Does this one blow smoke?

My auld man had lots of various ww1 ,ww2 model tanks and half track vehicles etc from must ahve been about 60s/70s id gues .some had AA batterys you could put in for it to move if memory serves right

Why 1/35? Tamiya is why. They started it, and it caught on. Really ditto for 1/48 armor as well.

I find armour modelling is great if you like German WW2 or Shermans! British tanks not so much☹️.

Love the 1/16 PZ IV!

Holy smokes!. Look at that thing. Spectacular!

Great vid brother. You are very personable. I like your style.

I mostly do aircraft, but have picked up a few tank kits. One thing I found with tanks is they are a lot more forgiving in the building and painting. Being constantly surrounded by dirt and debris make them great starters to learn how to weather.

The scale on this model is so bad it looks like one of those egg shaped satirical kits

Hi Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mike Friends Randy

Thumbs up if you are here because someone linked it from a GIjoe group

Impressiv e.

I wish companies would do more 1/24 scale.

Mate that is a proper model! Did you kick your wife out allready? Her clothes alone can give room to 10 of those beauties!

I have the HobbyBoss 1/18 Huey and I love it. All I hear are ramblings on how it’s just a toy. Too many complainers and whiners. Just build it and enjoy it. If you don’t like it then don’t buy it!

I had to read the description twice, thought it said 1:8 scale!😅

Great price for the size and scale
