Uncle Jet I've found that the tip of hobby knives is a good way to use small amounts of glue too, uses caliper action.

Looking Very Nice👍👍

LOVE the hilarious spoof intro...couldn't take the smile of my face 😁😄😁And incense sticks....wow a tip! A warm hearted Happy New Year to you James and you family.

Love the format of the video! Great detail work. Look forward to 2025 🎉

3.50, mine too

I like to use the plastic putty for weld beads. The small tip applicator makes it easier to fill the seams, let it sit for about 30 minutes and use some home made weld bead tools to get the texture.

Great video, the camo looks great. I’m leaning towards one of the units in and around Falaise in July and August.

I went over a few areas again this afternoon. Your comments on how they dared in Normandy. I read a report that stated as the noose around Falaise was tightening and finally closed, statistically the Puma crews dared much better than their tanks. Survival rates in the Puma were higher and put it down to the Puma crews expertise in camouflage and moving around undetected behind enemy lines. One Puma crew member commented that the Americans in their M8 Greyhounds would roar around at speed and everyone could hear them coming. The Pumas would creep along at idle on the engine making as little noise as possible and stopping to hide and listen frequently. Another fun little insight, the Puma is also available from Das Werk in 1/16 scale as is the M8 Greyhound from AHHQ/Takom. The same artist created the box art for both vehicles and, on the Das Werk art, the picture shows a Puma with a knocked out M8. On the AHHQ/Takom the M8 is shown with a knocked out Puma.

Where do i get those reference books in russian?

Love the intro. Fun video. Really appreciate you keeping in struggles as well as achievements in your videos.

😂 love the story narration, like an old shool movie. Man youre an enjoyable creator Uncle Jet! You sound like a narrator from old ww2 shows, is this where i know your voice?

Hands down, best intro Jet! Nice job! At least 10,000 subs by the end of the yr if not more!

Lovely Tiger I

Nice video, I know what you mean about metal fatigue on etch. On unpainted etch material I now anneal it carefully with a tea candle. This makes it more tolerant of bending back and forth and removes its memory. Re the lights, for tiny CA applications I use acupuncture needles only a 1/4 millimetre wide, but a long length to get deep into a kit if necessary and you can bend it to reach behind parts. The springs on the other end can be useful as well.

this is amazing work. underrated af

The plug you put in the pistol ports? That should only be there if the tank is rigged for snorkeling. Otherwise, it is stored elsewhere. 👍

Happy new year Jet! Btw, love the Toulouse Lautrec comment/joke. Your job must be in the creative field!👍🏾

''I spy with my little eye, something that starts with.....H'' at 2:30.....D'oh 😖 Pulled the trigger on my very,very first Tiger 1! Bought Rye Field's 5003 issue on sale here (almost as cheap Tamiya's Tiger 1) and it's got full interior front to back of which I'm sucker for such kits!🥴🥴 Well done for making the Dragons tracks work for you. Isn't part of the enjoyment/satisfaction of model making, working things out and then making it work!👍

Miniart are the business. Looking forward to your build.

Thanks again some nice info on the smaller parts

Got the same Miniart M3 Stuart/Honey for building in 2025. Wonderful Caunter camo scheme, I suspect your be avoiding any magnets this time round!!🤨🤬🤬🤥

Nice kit James! I'll be looking forward to seeing the build. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

Useful jig. Would have been nice if they had done like Takom do where it tells you how many track links one needs per section, ie the top, bottom and around each end

I’ve now watched all of them so far up to pt6.I look forward to more in the series.

Now that really something thanks.

Thanks for the heads up on assembling the engine👏

Another really helpful video 👍

Great video on how kit makers make life difficult sometimes. I shall seriously consider sanding the panel flat and using a Quinta 3D decal for the cockpit.🥴🤪🫨👍🥃🥃🥃🥃

That was really interesting. I liked the double overlay of hairspray. Is any particular tresemmé better. I hear people say no3 is good. Nice work

Have a great build.

Have a great build.

I accidentally due to lack of coffee, deleted a comment from chelsieboy? That the pistol port on the right side is offset to the right but should be to the left. Sorry about that 😊 from Bydens site”This "left offset" is confirmed by almost every relevant photograph. The only exception is Tiger "100" when captured by the Russians, but it is obvious that the Russians disassembled that particular port, so we can assume it was originally like all the other ones.”

You know what’s really funny is I went to go and look at some stuff on David info tiger site in site and apparently somebody at Dragon had the same thought as I did. Here’s a quote. “Unfortunately, somebody at Dragon assumed this was a mistake! Later issues of the 'A' sprue had a modified seat that faced forward. Some of these sprues were sold in Initial Tiger boxes. They also appeared in the first samples of the Late Tiger kit.”😂

There's something very odd/unsettling about sitting a vehicle backwards, is there not! You bet you know this already, Scalemates= Search =Rye Field Tiger 1 W/interior= instructions download. I find the site a great research tool with their download instructions/illustrations sheets. I've never built any Tiger Tanks, I'm bit tempted by the Rye Field Tiger 1 RM-003 or RM-5075 Moscow park display tank..hmmm🤔

Why do you have the Swedish nationel anthem in the intro?Not very fitting in my opinion 🤔

merry christmas uncle jet

The loader chair faced back, that way it was easier to maneuver, and load ammunition, as well as find the spare ammunition

Merry Christmas uncle jet and family!

Dragon came out with another initial that corrected whatever mistakes were in this one . Still. The initial tiger 1 from dragon was a game changer in models. 2005 was a great year

Another good video. You have so much patience. Its interesting to see how you resolve problems when they arise. Merry Christmas. Many thanks for sharing.

Starting from the beginning now👍

A great video. I have the 25E advanced variant and plan on updating mine too. This makes an excellent reference. I also have the Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1D to do as well. Thanks👍

Have a great build.
