By the way, andy, i have built model airplanes for years since i was like 7 (im 15 now) and i had no idea that there were model tanks until i saw your videos. And over the years, i found that watching your videos has helped me improve in my skills in modeling. I recently looked back at my first model ( the revell f18 suler hornet) and i looked at my newest tamiya f14 and i realized how much i improved over the course of discovering your channel. The way you paint with the black wi th white higlights along with the dark yellow or the olive drab the get the one color two tone sorta deal with the model tanks is another thing ive been doing with my model tanks. Also, my grandfather gave me an airbrush for my birthday 2 years ago and ive watxhed your tutorials and they have helped me.

[@jordyncollier919]

I'm 16 and I have been modeling for a similar amount of time, and I started on planes. My first ever model was either a JU 87 Stuka or a F4U Corsair. I dont remember which.

[@jordyncollier919]

And I'm glad I'm not the only teen to build models.

[@Marauder623]

I started (again) back when i was 21, i found that as long as you constantly experiment and improve you will have a lot of fun. I'm happy to hear about so many younger people getting into this hobby.

[@joey2thac]

Interested in the tiger book for sure! As long as worldwide shipping is an option!

[@hamm6035]

Yes interested in the Tiger book. Great video, you are a talented painter.

[@brianliddle2197]

That little Tiger brings out the meticulous side of a modeller. It's a beautiful kit. Andy you are joy to watch and a great modeling tutor.

[@mau-enlee7083]

Yes please on the Tiger book!

[@johncadenhead9892]

Yes on the tiger book

[@mikep3180]

[@TheDDA2112]

Andy thanks! I'm buying this kit, very cheap and quality details i saw thanks to you)) I got BORDER Tiger kit with multiple variants, thanks to you i bought it too for my birthday 32 years)))

[@alexanderking994]

Andy was home Sick last week and I've watched almost all of your videos... Great stuff! please keep it going ! Love your builds and techniques... plan to get to do some building soon.

[@vasili1207]

Bloody hell Andy you actually used primer

[@tedpilchak7096]

Definitely interested in the book!

[@evgeniy4145]

Thank you for your work! Thanks to you I bought my first models. On Google maps even found your store. It is beautiful there. I'm from Ukraine. 70 km to the territory where the war is going on

[@timorvet1]

Hi Andy I just received my copy of the Panther book from the states and "oh boy" am I impressed with the contents of it, especially with the photographic selection, some I've never seen before. Cheers mate for bringing it to our attention.

[@bengalghost5403]

Thanks, Andy. Very informative build regarding a magnificent subject.

[@williamodell8634]

Yes, very interested in the Tiger book, also enjoy your build video's very much. It challenges me to improve my efforts. Like others I am a Panzer nut as well. Tigers have always been at the top of my list. Thank's Andy

[@TheFlatlander440]

Hey Andy. Yes, I'm def interested in this Tiger book. I love the Panther book so, why not purchase another reprint of this book. I just wanted to mention that another modeler made the suspension workable by cutting off the key on the torsion bar part, then pushed it through the lower hull and crimped the end with needle nose pliers and the running wheels will turn. Great build and I ordered this kit last week and should have it in 10 days or so. I'm really looking forward to building this Tiger and thanks for taking the time to vid your build.

[@garyturton6967]

I've got the kit on order can't wait ,I am always inspired by your kit building skills look forward To your next build. Gary t from uk

[@additionl.4796]

Wow trumpeter has really made some improvement in the quality of their kits! I remember back in the days they used to make those cheap and rough kit, like the KV series. Nice review!

[@Ritzfg2]

Would definitely be interested in that tiger book

[@cooperdobell548]

id buy that tiger book for sure

[@jonowens460]

Am going to start building again...miss it. Thanx for Videos!!!

[@donteto]

My copy of the Panther book arrived last week from the USA. It is such a great book that I would buy the Tiger one immediately.

[@AbstractArmorHLF]

Definitely interested in the tiger book

[@geraldshultz4271]

Yes I am interested in the tiger book. Great build Andy.

[@chipchaffee2416]

I purchased this model and it went fantastic. I assembled everything and painted and chipped, weathered etc . Then started on tracks ???? What a night mare ! These tracks are very difficult and a lot of clean up . Took me longer to do tracks than the rest of model 😢 . It’s A very nice kit ? But would recommend aftermarket tracks . Love your videos and keep them coming. Thank you sir .

[@johnburdis5352]

Yes, I am interested in the Tiger book. Thanks Andy.

[@panzertracks]

Sweet looking tank, great paint job again!

[@hungryhank6044]

Great video Andy! That Tiger tank looks absolutely fantastic. Would really like to get in on that Tiger /Strumtiger book deal! Keep up the great work.

[@jessycamerier697]

Looks like a greate kit! I want it! I hope here in Belgium it's soon available! Huge fan of youre page Andy! greatins from Wesley!

[@peterbrown3608]

Yes, interested in the Tiger book!! :) I have noticed you can get this on Amazon, but I think it's a bit more expensive there, so if the price of the re-print is around the same as the Panther book then that will be worth getting the re-print.

[@zonsullenberger9049]

After receiving my copy of the Panther book, I would definitely spring for the Tiger book.

[@georgethomas8812]

Yes, tiger book! I ordered one of the Panther books, thanks.

[@chipblock2854]

I just purchased my second Trumpeter model. The quality is great. Just like the Meng models. I only just begun.

[@danphilpott6302]

Awesome awesome job! Thanks so much Andy

[@juanpedromoralesvieyra3757]

As always you make very enjoyable videos Andy. You have a new fan in Mexico.

[@Simonize41]

Yes, I’d definitely buy a new version of the Tiger and Sturmtiger book. I’ve been wanting a good Sturmtiger book for a long time. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@americanpatriot2422]

Outstanding video and presentation.

[@jackvanco6419]

Also, as always, nicley done. Paint looks great, zimmeret looks great, everything looks awesome!

[@ellis8238]

Great video Andy, I love they's long vids!

[@ozcanison]

I NEED this Tiger book!

[@RAFMagpie]

Yup interested in the tiger book

[@VonRammsteyn]

First i thought... Damn it! Not another tiger!... But turns out to be a really good looking one! Plus, i never saw that way of making the zimmerit option... Thank u to share this video Andy!

[@willywonthe5635]

I need that tiger book!

[@ianrobb9484]

I've been using a rivals metal tracks NOT nearly as good as the friulmodel ones AND the use of staples is brilliant thanks for that Andy never thought of that way used differant diameters of wire bought over e-bay was frustrating to say the least and very time consuming. ....I've bought two of the Trumpeter tigers (late edition) and a couple of the Academy ones again late so purchased the friulmodel tracks after I've struggled with a competitor's to do the early edition tigers (×3).....sorry to hear the bad news about your family i hope everything goes better for you all this year .....regards IAN from York,England (UK)

[@Grundag]

Looks like Trumpeter is right up there with Tamiya now in terms of parts fitting together. Quality Engineering! They were heading in this direction as far back as 2014 ( when I first noticed that their kits had notably changed )

[@GoldenArrow77]

Definitely interested in the Tiger book. Really enjoy your videos too.

[@IatFaiLeong]

Interested in the tiger book. if there are more Tiger coming, I am going to start eating instant noodle :-(

[@neh5957]

[@garywhaley4040]

Andy - dead cool, the number on that tank was my police officer collar number. The Tiger is my favourite tank. What a pleasurable coincidence 👍

[@picklerick4660]

Great Video Andy. Definitely interested in the book reprint. Thankyou.

[@sorichar]

Definitely interested in the Tiger book.

[@daveybyrden3936]

The "little plug" on the rear wall leads to the engine's water cooling pipe. A blowtorch could be placed here on a cold morning to heat the water.

[@wotenmituns14]

Andy, do you have a website or do any kind of shipping for kits? Amazing video. I’m building a late tiger now. And very helpful for the pant

[@FullMoonStudio]

Yes Tiger book please.

[@ndobson100]

Yes Interested in the Tiger book

[@johnburdis5352]

Hi Andy, great build of the Trumpeter late production Tiger1. The zimmerit is a brilliant idea! Andy, I'm interested in the reprint of the Tiger & Sturmtiger books by Feist. sorry if I spelt it wrong.

[@kaleu6]

It's a good looking kit, not sure if I need to add it to the pile of Dragon Tiger I's in the stash. I'd be more tempted to buy this kit if the tracks were accurate.

[@lasercreation-world1981]

nice video and great Tiger 1 WOW👍✌

[@matthewharroun8618]

Once I saw this kit in your previous "New Kits" video I knew that I wanted it. How can you beat a 1/35th Tiger WITH zimmerit for =/< $50.00? In fact I made the trek to the nearest hobby shop near me to see if he had it in. He didn't, but I did end up buying a 1/48th P-40E by Hasegawa. Still really want this Trumpeter kit though.

[@larryscarafile7309]

Great build. I want one

[@troypetty8141]

I think that the part on the rear that you had to trim the zimmerite for was a cover used to crank start the engine.

[@rogernilson3986]

Yes interested in the book. I'll take 2

[@marklieghio6221]

I also made this model..great kit.I noticed you didn't add all the accessories to the back either side of the exhausts.

[@uncle7215]

Awesome!

[@jackvanco6419]

At 15:30 when you mention the "plug". It was the idler tension port for tightning the tracks for the correct thension
