Oh, off hand I couldn`t say, my grandson has it now but the next time I see him I will count them

Leo 2 tracks from Bronco, ( www.scalemates.com/de/kits/bronco-ab3528-leopard-2-mbt-workable-track-link-set--115074 ) don`t know if you can still get them but if not t-rex makes them in the same format and RFM has them too, all of them go together in the same way and look great

Had some issues that made me not want to do any videos, but I will be back at itt soon, and yep, tanks were and are being built, a whole bunch of different types and versions!

@@SgtBones Aaaaa cool, I'm doing the Tamiya KV-1 and should have it posted in the next week or two.

@@SgtBones It's great to hear that you're still making models whether you upload them to YT or not. I subbed in the hope that you might ignore all the fuck wits & keyboard jerk offs & enjoy sharing your hobby again ... buy hey I get it either way, take care man

It's a really good kit as far as fit and details are concerned, sadly my cat unintentionally broke it, but at least building it was fun. Hope you do uild it Greg, like to see your take on it!

I think it will be built sometime this year maybe the next couple of months

The biggest problem at the moment is how many companies make Panzer III kits? If I am not mistaken, just Dragon and Tamiya, which limits the amount of options we have. I would love to see for example Border Models, or Takom do a Panzer III variant, but until then, we seem to be stuck with Dragon. At least the kits do pop up cheap on E-Bay! ;)

@@SgtBones Yes, Ebay is where I get most of my kits. I have nearly all Tank varients.

A good friend hooked me up with a Scorpion, I am bilingual and had searched for one using the german spelling! As for a barrel, I need to check again but if I remember correctly the Scorpion comes with a metal barrel. Or did you mean the Abrams? If so, no need of a different barrel, it is fine in plastic right out of the box, really well formed, RFM sets high standards in this area.

It's a really nice kit, but if you can get the movable tracks from trumpeter or Armour Track models, the T-156 version, then the kit is perfect....although the link in length tracks will still look good for a purely static model on a flat surface.

That's nice of you to inform me of that, will you also buy me better lighting? I am not paid for this, I do it because I want to, so if you would like to see better lit reviews help me out with buying me a backdrop, light shields, different lights to use when building or making videos etc. etc. OH YEAH, let's see some of your videos!!! Your empty channel speaks volumes about your abilities! Get the hint??

honest assessment of your review. if you are not open to a critique and want only compliments to stroke your ego you are in the wrong place dude. i wasnt saying it to be a dick... but when you are telling us about what we are supposed to be seeing on a sprue and i cant really see it your review is next to useless. additionally my empty channel says nothing about my abilities... that you would assume a person can be stereotyped by youtube channel content is a very closed minded assumption on your part - possibly induced by high levels of estrogen.

Perhaps if you had watched the video you would see me complain about the light myself! I don't have money for lighting like in a studio, you can clearly see what I show, only complaint I had was the shadow being thrown from one of my lights...which, if removed would make it harder to see and build models. Your "critique" was a useless statement which I know already, if you want to be helpful buy me professional lighting, give me tips that I can do for free, but dumping a comment without helping is USELESS! And I can't do anything about your estrogen levels, sorry you have a problem with it.

Fair play? What's fair play have to do with it? As to how I manage, I just do It's like asking Will Pattison how he builds models with all his problems, he just does it. I just shake the parts together I guess. I actually don't notice how bad I shake until I watch my own videos.

All well here Bruv! As to the tracks, the ones with the full interior are the late T158 tracks, so they at least have the right tracks for the Tank...but only god knows why they did link in length crap....oh well, eventually I will get me hands on some workable T156 tracks! Take care mate!

It's a really nice kit. Ask Stefan, he agrees too! ;)

Nächste mal machen wir es bei dir!

Würde mich sehr freuen Bill:-)

Did you load up any HMMWV's from Ft. Hood? You may very well have loaded vehicles that I knew/drove/lived in/ received support from during the Gulf War! Small world Solomon! Thanks for your service!

I wish I could answer that, but working ship after ship, 18 hours a day 7 days a week for 6 months straight, I didn't have time to look up the source of what we were sending into the middle east. About all I can say is that it all went BOOM! LOL. And thank you for your service as well.

Thanks Glenn, will do my best!!

Ummm, Glen, a package showed up at me door, from some Bloke in Australia.....You wouldn't know anything about that would you? Thanks mate!!!

Sgt Bones oh wow, that was quick 😄. I told you I was looking forward to seeing the dio mate, now you have no excuses to disappoint me 😜😜😜

Aye, yer right about that! Got figures, the kits, found a decent sized board in the garage for a base, now it's time to crack on with it! Thanks again Bruv!

Dude!! Yeah, that's it! I just realized I have been looking for it with the German spelling of "Skorpion" lol!! Thanks mate!

Well, that problem is solved, some nice bloke did a supply drop for me!

Excellent news!!

Der ist fast fertig, nur noch Tarnfarbe und ein paar extras....denk in 2-3 tage hab ich etwas zu zeigen und einem after action review zu machen!

Thanks Bruv!

Thanks!

Most assuredly, although apparently due to the lack of a lot of information somewhat improperly made...but David Byrden has the knowledge on how to get it closer to the existing photographs. What I find exemplary with the kit is it does come with enough extras to make it a militarized Tiger if one so wishes. And the simple fact that compared to the Italeri kits the detail and fit is much better. Having built an Italeri late recently, which surprised me in that it wasn't that bad a kit, I am even more delighted by the much better engineering of Rye Fields offerings, not to mention better plastic and details.

It is coming along nicely right now, all the needed parts to make it a standard Tiger with gun are there, and it goes together quite well. A small disappointment to me were the way the torsion bars mount to the hull for working suspension, they have very small attachment points and considering the kit has workable tracks that sort of made me wonder. But it is still quite the kit for the money!

Sgt Bones. Well you will have a great version, if you placed it next to normal Tiger 1’ now that would be something of a display. I’d consider fixing the suspension in place “no movement” otherwise you could have to try fixing it late on.

Going to do just that, fixed in place. Next one I build though will have fully functional suspension, I have played with part of this one to make an adapter to fix the torsion bars properly. Will most likely buy the RFM Fehrmann kit soon!

Was....me catz done killed it!

Thanks John!

Cool, thanks!

All Bustle rack and extra armor, lots of empty space. Should see it with its "Ears" opened up on the side of the turret, looks funny then! Thanks for checking mine out!

Ich hab damit angefangen, turm passt perfekt zusammen, aber beim Laufräder finde ich es ein bissel, naja, nicht so toll, die räder haben ein recht gutes index punkt zum kleben beim eng sitzende paare, aber beim breit auseinander sitzende ist es ein bissel knifflig, aber das ist bisher mein einzigste meckern punkt.

Oi! That sounds like a plan Mate!

The missing parts were NOT takoms fault, I got the kit basically for free because parts were apparently stolen from the kit. The Customer service from Takom is absolutely fantastic, quick turn around, fair prices and really quick delivery. Takom has become a definite favorite for me.

LOL, I haven't even checked that...bet it comes out pretty funny! I am seriously going to enjoy this kit, especially after having built an Italeri Late Tiger, that kit was a real PITA even though it turned out quite well. This kit looks like engineering genius by comparison, and has lots of options, and soooo much potential!

Sgt Bones It looks like it'll be fun! Yes translator was humorous. At one point it said tuna sandwich and Sara something. It kept putting words describing food in there. 😁

It's a really sweet kit, definitely! But I hate to admit that I won't be building the crane, but instead making it into a standard Tiger. If anyone wants the crane they are welcome to it!

I like her as a battle tank as well take care buddy
