Building The Dragon tiger 1 with zimmerit part 2

[@melvinjohnson7033]

Very nice Andy. Never seen armour look that good with such a short build time.

[@Z3kyTw0]

you have convinced me to get this kit! thanks !!

[@jurgen6768]

I've built two of these Dragon Tigers with zimmerit . Quite straightforward to build and on one I purchased some aftermarket tracks and for the other used the tracks supplied in the box. Found no issues with those supplied by Dragon. My only constructive criticism of this build is that Andy has used the decals for the SS s.Pz.abt. 102 in Normandy but the camouflage pattern is incorrect. The pattern that has been used here is closer to the Tigers of the SS s.Pz.abt. 101 of the 2nd company , although there was slightly more green and rotbraun used. I would highly recommend this model , a great kit to build.

What nice tank,Andy

[@ArmourEmpire]

Interesting and informative vid mate. Well done

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Armour Empire Thank you , it was great fun

[@steviegibson5847]

Beautiful kit. You done a fabulous job on it. The 134 numbers on the turret looked just outlined but the rear one look filled in in black, or is it my eyes. You make it look so easy! Great job.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Stevie Gibson No your eyes are right , it was the way the decals were made for that tank , I used them because they were different, thanks for watching.

[@nickboer6446]

well done Andy

[@Z3kyTw0]

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

[@pablocantero2769]

Great music :D

[@jesusblanco906]

Awesome once more

[@scottoneill6174]

Good job mr

[@deanellen3583]

great video

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

thank you

[@LuBux100pre]

Please, what are the tamiya color codes you used on the brown and green camouflage?

[@Rorynes]

Andy why didn't you use workable tracks(plastic or metal) for this beauty?

[@andreypetrovish3319]

nice work

[@MrGameengineer]

I have the Dragon kit #6700 the Tiger I Mid Production. It looks similar enough except for the road wheels not being full steel like the Late Tiger. I was wondering what the benefit of using the aluminum gun in place of the plastic one that comes with the kit. It gets covered in paint anyway. If the details of the plastic doesn't surpass the metal add-on piece do you gain anything?

[@sylanrioran4365]

This is an older video so im sure it's a shot in the dark for any sort of answer but I have a question. What colors are you using for the camo pattern? if stated in the video I missed it and I apologize. I am about to build a tamiya tiger 1 mid and would like to go with roughly the same camo pattern but need to know the colors. Thank you for any response. And btw you sir are a master of painting models these vids are all epic. Wish I was home back in AZ I would stop in for sure.

Hi Andy, Did it take a lot of micro sol to help the decals set to the zimmerit?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

hi about 3 coats

[@Johnny-jz5yx]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters thank you :)

[@GTiR23]

I use Tamiya X20A for really complex shapes, seems to work for me, worth giving it a try

[@walkerbelle]

Great looking Tiger 1. Where's your store website link or do you not have a website for the store so folks can shop there???

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

+Texas Hi-Railer no I'm sorry we don't have a website

[@NapFloridian]

your built is about Tiger 134, Willi Fey's Tiger in Normandy.

[@lesthiele7645]

Hi Andy, Well once again you have completed another great build. As I'm, mainly interested in 'Modern' armour most WWII is not of interest to me, but I would one day like to build a Tiger. Cheers, Les (Australia)

[@bbrkk]

hi, why do you paint little pieces with whole model? like tools boxes etc. isnt it easier to paint them first then put on the model?

[@sivart5257]

your store in glendale is awesome

[@jakeob3372]

Hi Andy, great video. Do you recommend chipping before or after the final buff coat? Thanks

[@1Brick2Brick3]

Jake OB I'm not Andy but I'd say do it before

[@henryschmitt7577]

Andy, who is the maker of the airbrush you use, and is it single or double action?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Its made by Iwata hpc double action

[@foxhound3943]

what paint you use ? Saludos desde Mexico :) great job .

[@MikeyRumi180]

hi i dig your videos. great build! what was the final coat you gave this tiger?? what's the product for the dust effect? thanks.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

+Mikey Tavarez Hi, thanks the final coat for dust coat is tamiya xf57 buff

[@MikeyRumi180]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters hi again Andy. what were the parts for the buff and thinner (x-20a i pressume?)?? 3:1 or 2:1?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

yes I put about 20% thinner and spray from about a foot away

[@jerreYT]

Agian great job! I think it went out simply beautifull. I am new to modeling and i am 11 years old and i want to do warmodels with my dad, what should i thimk about? You really make it look so easy!

[@oh1390]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters would you recommend this to beginners like me

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

its a lot of parts not difficult just very time consuming , you can do it just don't expect it to go fast

[@adamriffe3520]

How do you get the paint into the airbrush?

[@tonybaloney8401]

what kind of question is this?

[@MrTheMrhappy]

You feed it to your compressor so it's directly in the air feed, of course!

[@markravlich3585]

with a pipette dude.

[@stienerrecliner]

nice work, consider using some oil/rust stains to really finish it off.

[@Raptor-ew6to]

I like how he is painting and building German War Machines that killed people IRL and he has classical music going. great choice :) although people would expect to hear some more hard music but I actually like it.

[@taipannews2589]

Perfeito ... Gostaria muito de começar nessa arte ...

[@erikdavis1646]

The hatches for the driver and the radio operator/machine gunner are on incorrectly. Switch sides. They're only going to see the shovel and the bottom of the main gun mantlet.

[@erikdavis1646]

oops, my mistake.

[@tomcox3852]

i notesed that your # were crooked on the tank YOU ARE HUMAN after all

[@delboytrotter8806]

Any chance of changing the music............ After 25 vids it's a bit much !

[@vinny9708]

Good vid ,but that music is awful

[@pablocorrea2558]

Horrible

[@LuBux100pre]
