Italeri 1/35 M4A3E8 Sherman "Fury": amzn.to/2YVIfGD

[@eyalcr500]

maaan !!!! nicely done ! never noticed in the film that it had such a 2 tone camouflage...!

[@modelchili]

Cheers! Yes it's very subtle.

[@kalbs89]

Maybe instead of the M1A1 Thompson on the turret top it should have been Brad's Stg. 44. But Looks good man.

[@modelchili]

Heh that gets pointed out a lot, but it was the only gun that came with the kit.

[@charliebowman785]

Sorry but I'm drooling. What an exquisite piece of work. Certainly Shermans are not exactly my favorite but I love tanks and "Fury" is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for sharing this splendid work.

[@modelchili]

Thank you!

[@VorpalSlade]

After watching nearly all of your videos in about three days, I'm anxiously awaiting more! Excellent stuff every time and so therapeutic, I was vaguely into model making but your channel and pieces pushed my interest to the next level!

[@modelchili]

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! It was watching other KZbinrs that inspired me to start up modelling again, so I'm glad I can pass on that enthusiasm!

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

War Daddy didn't use a Thompson. It was a 'recovered' German Stürmgewehr 44.

[@yearsley89]

Halfway through my project and I'm glad I watched this so I can crack on finishing it off with a bit more knowledge ☺️

[@modelchili]

Cool, hope it goes well!

[@PanzermansBunker]

Fantastic work on your stock Fury Sherman. Good fix to the return roller isdue. Top notch paint job. Bill

[@modelchili]

Thanks Bill. :)

[@tankfans6182]

i went to a tank museum (bovington) and they have the tank used in fury. they used a real M4A3E8 from the tank museum.

[@jimmytgoose476]

M4A2E8

[@sini2020]

I got to try gluing up all first before painting as I now painting the tools and add it on later. Will do it on my trumpeter C1 for practise. Good one as this video one can see from start to finish before starting one own kit.

[@modelchili]

Thank you! Yeah sometimes I really depends on the tank, but most of the time I glue everything on first.

[@madcowrebel4216]

One of the most underrated KZbin modelers out there. This little weekend build looks pretty spectacular to me.

[@modelchili]

Thank you, you're most kind! I don't mind being underrated, it's better than being overrated I guess. :p

[@madcowrebel4216]

[@madcowrebel4216]

Wow, nice job getting featured on Military Miniatures H.Q. blog.militaryminiatureshq.com/

[@modelchili]

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know!

[@luciusvorenus9445]

Fantastic job! I want to build an Easy 8 Sherman model and your video inspired me. Impressive painting results. Personally, I am afraid that if I assemble a model and then paint it, mine will look like a soup sandwich. This was a joy to behold.

[@modelchili]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@huntforandrew]

I love the suspension on these later model Shermans. HVSS just looks so complicated and mechanical. It's nice to see all the working parts of the suspension instead of other tanks with internal components like torsion bar and all the rest.

[@jimmytgoose476]

I was put off buying this when i looked in the box and saw it was basically the old Dragon kit , part of which was 70s era Italeri parts . Apart from issues with the suspension the gun is significantly short and the mantlet needs serious modification . I didn't enjoy it ; i would only buy the Fury boxing to use the stowage on a Tamiya or Tasca kit .

[@Raptoria]

Was thinking of getting a friend this for the holidays, thanks for this video!!!

Love the detail you have done great job

[@modelchili]

Thank you!

[@joshuasanders4515]

Please do more build videos like that, they have great quality

[@joshuasanders4515]

What was the glue with the white lid, that you used on the tracks

[@modelchili]

Thank you. :) I certainly plan to!

[@modelchili]

That's just a bit of superglue to stick on the vinyl track.

[@rodcockfield5114]

Good Video. I'm glad I watched this before my build as the rollers were added last after the track was installed on the lower hull. (Made it so much easier to position them). I'd like to say it was an enjoyable build but it took longer than usual. Even with this said, it still turned out OK. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@modelchili]

Thank you! Yeah it's quite a fun little kit, even with its various issues.

[@modelrailroader5619]

So glad I found this video, I’m just starting this build and your methods are helping me immensely. Thanks for posting! Cheers, 🇨🇦

Thanks!

[@nealeskauge4197]

Beautiful job! I just ordered this kit and will be using your “step by step”! I would normally paint all of the attaching parts before but your way looks like it will work fine! I saw the real one in Bovington last year. ‘Looks just like yours! Ha!

[@modelchili]

Thank you, hope it goes well! Lucky, I wish I could see the real one, would be bit of a trip.

[@joshblamey8486]

Very detailed information absoulty love it the level of detail

[@notagt4103]

10:36, it looks so naked with out fury written on Barrell, other wise beautiful work from one of my fav movies

[@modelchili]

Thank you!

[@fangirl988]

Great video, I’ve just ordered this kit, and the figures are now about £15 for all 5 from China, so I thought it’s worth getting them. It works out at just over £40 for everything

[@pathayes5658]

great job! love the weathering...

[@modelchili]

Thank you!

[@michaelkennethrivera5668]

sir you are the best tank modeler I have seen. your demo was simple but was very effective

[@modelchili]

Thank you kind sir!

[@MetalDetroit]

Well done - looks like a nice kit, I've wanted to do this tank for a while. Even before Fury came out.I use ash from the BBQ mixed with water and white glue for mud. It's a nice effect.

[@modelchili]

Cheers!

[@AdamMann3D]

You are correct about the tracks. The kit initially had t66 tracks, which would be accurate for an a3 in Eto. T84 tracks are Korean war era, but that's what is on the a2 at bovington.

[@stappan1752]

Beautiful job a lot of detail great lesson for me

[@JerkerDahlblom]

Damn, that is really nice work.

[@modelchili]

Thank you!

[@rodneygreenway]

I have the real just down the road from me and I must say you have done it proud, well done.

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@feston4032]

it's amazing that you make the detail 100% like in the movie

[@modelchili]

Thanks!

[@neoduke007]

That is amazing final result! Really love the attention to detail you have done this is definitely a more advanced kit haha!

[@modelchili]

Cheers!

[@ThePilotPenguin1]

you can really see the time and effort that went into the paint alone. i wish i was half as good as you

[@modelchili]

The Pilot Penguin Thanks :) I'm still quite new to the hobby myself, just takes practice, making mistakes and a bit of time.

[@sgtkikkoman_]

This is an amazing looking model, great job man!

Thank you! Oh there'll be more. ;)

[@liamdewinter3005]

ModelChili Scale Models where did you get the little hose that sprays the paint on?

[@modelchili]

Do you mean the airbrush? I just bought it online.

[@TPDManiacXC626]

The rubber tracks seem to be this model’s saving grace, the other model I tried to make had to to put the tank treads together, piece by piece, a painstakingly stressful task. This model and its rubber tracks make it the holy grail of model tanks for me.

[@johnbrown7858]

Great build. The paint scheme has me concerned, and confused. I agree with the primer. On first look the black would seem to dark, but your final product looks about right. Your final version looks closer than anything else I've seen. Great work. Thanks for posting.

[@dannymiller3315]

I think fury would look less cool if it wasnt super dirty

[@anthonydownes2286]

Very nice build, However Brad Pitt used a Sturmgewehr not a Thompson :)

[@modelchili]

Noted!

[@slikster86]

Great video, and a very nice tank to and there is definitely no stars on the turret. I saw the very tank from the movie recently and there are none.

[@MrBMBuilder]

Yes I did enjoy watching. I am collecting parts to build my own and this video has been most helpful..... Thankyou :)

[@modelchili]

Thanks! :) That's cool, I've subbed to your channel so can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@ianthewelder9043]

I`m just building this kit, and just got to the roller wheels, Its good that you explained the problem with the roller wheels, as I am having the same problem, but using your idea, I am gluing them to the rack as well, such a shame as its a good kit. The tracks are extremely tight over those wheels, and it spoils the build a bit. I`ve put the same tracks on as you did. So its definitely a flaw in the kit/tracks.

[@TornetLegoRCTechnicBuilder]

Nice model, like the weathering

[@modelchili]

Cheers!

I've seen the Fury Sherman Easy 8 in the metal at Bovington Tank Museum, it looks really dark in real life, almost as if the whole thing is black, this is a very nice model of it, good work.

Thank you! Would love to see it myself. :)

This kit turned up amazing,well done sir! I just bought a Tamiya easy eight Sherman and while the detail is superb there are no accesories like this one and getting resin addons will double the cost.This Italeri kit seems like a good value for the price.

Nice job....but couldn't help thinking that maybe a suggestion at the end with the dirt effects....how about mixing a mixture of some real dirt together with maybe some PVA glue thinned down and applying it to the wheels and tracks.. ? Just an idea that's all...not even sure it would work but if it did it would add some texture to the final look...?
