I have this kit wanting to make a" Fury ", but after watching you build the bogeys, i might get the Tamiya kit.
@longlance67 16 күн бұрын
If you want a nicer and more real world accurate version of FURY. Then I totally recommend you stick with the Tamiya kit! I am currently working on a movie accurate FURY by backing dating an Asuka Model M4A3 HVSS to an A2 HVSS like the real tank in the movie. But that is a long term project and probably won't been seen on the channel till early Spring most likely.

What I do is buy a 200ml bottle of Vallejo flow improver, a 60ml bottle of Vallejo thinner, and 2 17ml bottles of Vallejo retarder. Next I buy a 20 oz. bottle of Diet Pepsi, drink the Diet Pepsi, and thoroughly rinse the empty bottle. Then I dump all the Vallejo product into the empty bottle and shake the living daylights out of it! A 50/50 ratio of that mixture works well with Model Air, Model Color, and Vallejo surface primers. Spray it at 20-25 psi. Spray very light coats and build up the color gradually. Since I've been using that formula I've had virtually NO tip dry! It works! You are correct: Flow improver is a real game changer! 👍

I’m looking to get a Sherman kit that my grandfather might have driven. He was in North Africa from late 1941 and the Italy. Drove crusaders and shermans. Any recommendations? Which kits do people rate as the best? A bonus would be a kit that has decals for 10th royal hussars (the 10th royal hussars had no camo paint schemes it would seem and just had a blue circle for each side and on front and back there was a ‘67’ on a red square and a white rhino on a black pill shaped background to signify 1st armoured div). I have decals I recently bought for the hussars so I guess I could just use those, though they were for a crusader so couldn’t use the vehicle ID number. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wish my grandad was still here to advise me!! RIP Daniel Murphy 10th Royal hussars, 2nd arm bgde, 1st arm div.

@danhat69 Hey Dan, what a great project and a lovely tribute to your grandfather. So off the top of my head, North African Sherman being deployed with the British in 1941. That would be some of the very first deliveries of early production M4A1 (Sherman I) and M4A2 (Sherman III), respectively. Both of these variants would have the direct vision ports for the drive/co drivers. Early bogies for the M4A1 and possibly for the M4A2, though I've seen A2s with the later return roller on the bogies issued, too. I'll double-check my references when I get home from work. As for kits, ASUKA has both of those types in their range. And i would highly recommend them. I'll get back to you with more information later this evening. Hope this helps as a starting point
@danhat69 Ай бұрын
@ thanks lance. Asuka m4a1 it is then. I was looking at dragon El Alamein Sherman kit but if I find an Asuka with correct markings I think I’ll go for that. Never done a dragon or asuka to be honest (I have a couple of Miniart kits and a Border models crusader so I’m really branching out. I’ve got lots of kits to hone my skills on b4 I attempt the tribute diorama to my grandfather. I’m very much a novice at the moment. It’ll prob be at least 18-24 months before I have completed all my ‘practice’ kits (I have over 35!!)

??? 😯 Tamiya Acrylic is one of the end user friendliest and easiest hobby paints to airbrush with provided you use its X-20A thinner or a 100% compatible thinner. It's not difficult. Tamiya even provide end user hand holding by both making X-20A and pointing the end user to it in every instruction as their specific to X & XF Acrylics purposed acrylic thinner to use. Thin the paint per instruction for airbrushing, keep the airbrush clean in between and after spraying with Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner, another no brainer for newbs, and it's problem free airbrushing. An exceptionally end user friendly paint which will spray well at anything from 15PSI through 30PSI and for which a proprietary compatible Tamiya Acrylic Retarder accessory is available if conditions are hot and humid.

You mentioned "Banging" this kit in a weekend. I have done a lot of German and British armor for a bout 10 years or so. A much of dragon,Meng and Tamiya. only did one sherman, an old Tamiya kit years ago. The instructions are all in Japanese, lots of exclamation point and ? on instructions.Never has this much trouble understanding a kit . Heard there were jigs provided for photo etch ? No grab handles for 2 hatch covers ? Feel like I never did a model. Maybe it's dementia ? any instructions in english ? Thanks Shayne
@longlance67 2 ай бұрын
Unfortunately the Asuka/Tasca kits tend to only have limited English text if any. This like wire grab handles seems to be haul mark of their kits which I also find annoying too. Best thing to is to check out the Sherman in Minutia website for reference if the instructions lead you astray. Its a fantastic resource !

Good build , too much weathering takes away from the vehicle, where you cant tell anything about the vehicle!!! The chain looked like ships anchor chain, cables would be more accurate. Your model though. Just sayin too much weathering takes away from the actual model, placing the vehicle on a diorama with all that weathering would make more sense. But it is a good build I go with the KISS principle when building KEEP IT SIMPLE ST@@PID!!!

Also, the wading device for the exhaust and the water tank, were part of the upper hull replacement kit, or different kits? Thanks!

Excellent Tutorial, Shane. You are a life-saver. I work with 100% with Tamiya paints for airbrushing because they are awesome, but man the Tamiya thinners make them smell so bad. I don’t have a dedicated hobby room so I tend to work in my office and during the summers keep my windows open 24/7, so the awful chemical smell is not that much of an issue. But I also like to work on models in the winter - and now your Vallejo-Airbrush-Trick is just ideal. PS: I’ve wondered why Vallejo Airbrush Thinners are just awful. I was told previously that in order for Vallejos to work well in an airbrush you need to thin them with BOTH Airbrush Thinner and Airbrush Flow Improver.
@longlance67 5 ай бұрын
@cawimmer430 their thinner seems to be very finicky at the best of times. But the flow improver doesn't seem to break down the paint like their thinner. I also find that AKs Gen3 acrylic thinner works well too I've discovered

Wittmann’s tank was in dead ground for Ekins. The Sherbrookes definitely made the kill, especially when the impact was on the left rear of the tiger, the opposite side from which Ekins was firing.
@longlance67 5 ай бұрын
Yes it seems that people like to overlook that simple fact. You cannot engage what you cannot see and you cannot hit a side you have no angle on. I understand why the British claim this event to the level they do. Especially when you consider the debacle of Villers Bocage and the oversights in not forming a defensive perimeter in hostile territory. It was an embarrassment paid in many life's that needed a win to make right. But the ground is the ground. I get many angry comments from those coming in to bat from the Yeomanry. And full credit to their crews that day, as they most of the heavy lifting in destroying the Tigers was indeed done by them. And no small achievement. But the Tiger in question I feel belongs to the Sherbrookes. As they seem forget that this was company level deployment with multiple troops(platoons) engaging and all containing Fireflys as Commonwealth Armored doctrine would have demanded. Though at the close ranges found at the end of the ambush on the Sherbrooke's side, the humble 75mm would too have been lethal. I find that sometimes peoples logic often likes to overlook this, and instead on focusing on supposed truths like the wall was too high to see Wittmann's Tiger even though the surviving Canadian crews talk about knocking firing loops, and run of bricks off the wall to clear their lanes of fire.
