Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a nice comment. Good luck with your build.

​@@RWHobbies When you screw the upper hull to the lower hull of the tank, can you see any gaps that might need to be glued or filled, or is screwing it sufficient?

[@RWHobbies]

@@renegomoletz2638 I built this about 3 years ago. I do not remember any of the build.

Hi Richie - massive model

[@joesanchez979]

Excellent 👍

[@ljscalemodels526]

What’s the white material called zimmerit does that give a specific effect?

[@RWHobbies]

I just used joint compound from the hardware store.

[@patmckee7598]

good video but why put zimmerit on the storage bin? In real life if it got a magnetic mine on it, this would not impact the crew or the tanks operation. checked picture I can't find on with it on the storage bin. Good demo on how to do it though Regards Pat

[@RWHobbies]

No idea buddy. I just like putting plastic models together and having fun.

[@StephenBaird-cp1fc]

You don't put zimmermit on the bin at the back of the turret

[@rob-jz9eo]

how did you fix the main gun/turret gap problem?

[@RWHobbies]

I don't remember. I built this several years ago. If it is not featured in the videos, I cannot help unfortunately.

Hello mate. I've toyed with the idea of getting this kit but have shied away from it as it looks "Basic" and would need a lot of faffing to get it too look right. Am I being unfair? Liking your take on "rough looking" Zimmerit as, so far it looks the business. Looking forward to the next installment fella.

[@RWHobbies]

I would spend $50 more and get the new Takom (Andy HHQ) one.
