I second this notion.

And a wondering stream and of course happy accidents. 🤓😜🤣🤣

[@zulerodoeht329]

Great inspiration for some of us Mediocre Modelers. I will have to get this kit, working on Meng Panther D right now.

[@danielkonrad1444]

Andy i love your way to build a model the way YOU want it, and not superhypermegarealistic. This is a hobby that should let you do a model of whatever it is exactly the way you want it by yourself. I hate it when there are people complaining about an incorrect srew or camo etc... Thanks for your great videos, they are always a pleasure to watch!

[@duckman5642]

Totally agree,cheers

[@rustykilt]

Rivet counters.... they take all the fun out of building models..... I seceded to paint my YB-40 Pink...… could not get the metal finish correct ...

[@wickerman7689]

I can't agree more, Daniel..!

Really cool camo and weathering job!!!!👍🏼 looks amazing!

You are the model man Andy!!! Leading the modeling life...building ....painting...selling Models....God bless Andy love your Videos!!! Gods speed with your new expanded shop Cheers!!!!!!!

[@MaZEEZaM]

I actually really liked it when it was black and white, I thought it must be designed for snowy countries. The end result is really great too.

[@haraldmichaelis2008]

Oh Andy, now I have to go and find another tank to buy! Great Work!

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

It really looks amazing Andy. I've enjoyed watching your paint method get honed in over the last couple of years.

[@petrihml]

Thanks again Andy. You are great modeller. I hope at we can see some day in your shop.

Another beauty! Very well done.

Nice kit and cool buildup!

[@VonDrinkoften]

That's awesome. I wasn't all that keen on the camouflage at first but it grew on me as your weathering progressed. Nice job. I want one!

Great video as always! If you have the time, I would love to see you build that new M60A1 from Takom! It would be nice to see a more modern desert build!

[@michaelnaven213]

When I watched your video I tried to get this kit. I could not find it anywhere. Then you sent me an email of new products and there was the kit. I ordered the kit and you sent it to me in record time. I am currently building kits for other people so my Tiger builds will have to wait. Thank you for your videos and your great service.

Your video s are better then others have out their your s are tops in my book hands down my friend. Thom😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😌😌😌😌😀😀

Hi Andy I have this Ammo King tiger and plan to build the July 1945 version. Thanks for the tips on how the the suspension arms are to go on the lower hull. Great paint and weathering job on the Tiger2.

On the one hand you get the "Oh dear, ANOTHER King Tiger kit ..." But as you watch you start to think "Yeah, but it's a bloody AWESOME King Tiger Kit !"

[@stevejones6762]

I love the paint job - reminds me of the Panther tank they have at Bovington Tank museum which is almost that exact colour scheme (it's featured in one of their own KZbin videos) - I think you got it pretty spot on

[@panzertracks]

Very nice work!

Ahhh two of my favorite things in the same vid, Andy and a King tiger. Real shame I can only leave one like :)

[@dirkknappczyk1736]

Another great job Andy.....

[@xfliegerkorps8676]

I enjoy watching your channel, even though I’ve given up modeling. I just don’t have the skills, the time, or the money to do a good job. I bought an airbrush but I never touched it - there’s so much artistic ability needed, building became a chore I just can’t do well. Even so, it’s very enjoyable watching you build up the Tamiya kits, those were always easier than Trumpeter (which I grew to hate). Never knew you were in Glendale, I used to live there.

[@rustykilt]

Andy.... you make model building enjoyable... on ya mate, cheers from Aussieland

[@williamyezca]

superbe peinture comme d’habitude. :)

[@Ghostriderr25]

Andy I've watched your videos for a long time. I love them your best quotes for a new t-shirt line "light Sienna". "And I gone ahead and ordered the Friulmodel tracks but they just haven't arrived" also it would be awsome if you added the the light Sienna bottle and the Friulmodel tracks in opening video when u are putting all the tools you use in the model box. All in good fun but they are your best quotes.

[@Sven_76]

Another fantastic build Andy. Will never get tired of watching you paint these German camo schemes. As for the 5 people that disliked this video, you need your head checked.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I typically hate 'paper panzers' but I have to admit, this one has me intrigued. Might just come over to the dark side. Excellent video Andy, thx!

got this kit h0bby boss.cant wait do build it.

[@chrispiazza7487]

nice

[@bengalghost2338]

FYI Andy, Chesapeake Model Design made a correct resin July '45 turret for the tiger II during the mid to late 80's. This company has since gone out of business. Hardly noticable, but perfectionist will have to correct the range finder turrets.

[@lepeau8327]

Hey Andy, another great vid and build as always. I was just wondering if you ever consider doing a tank build and doing some battle damage on it? I've seen some other modellers achieve this with a dremel tool and I'd love to see your take on it. Keep pumping out these great vids!!

[@tickles196]

Hey Andy, I'm currently building a Hobbyboss M26 Pershing very impressed with the kit very well detailed for £20 also they have a £26 King Tiger which includes photo etch and zimmerit. Would love to see what you have to say about these kits.

[@michaelperry4308]

Just as a point of interest, if building a Tiger or Panther, the cupola lid was never dropped fully, all the 'good' commanders kept them cracked open to improve all round vision. Richard Freiherr von Rosen says he was wounded doing this but it kept him alive on several occasions when being locked down would have been fatal. The Russians suffered badly from locking down at the first shot as this rendered them blind, particularly in T34 early versions. Also it was faster if you had to get out.

[@SrtHellcat-jj6nt]

I have this tank on war thunder it’s a dang good tank

[@manuelkress8554]

Did you mean 10.5 cm (105 mm) gun? 10.5 mm would be very tiny for a Tank 😉. But Great job you did. Itś always fun watching you building such Models.👍👍👍

[@franciscoolguin6125]

Padrisimo

[@TomRaider410]

That freehand camo is spot on! This might be a repeated question: how did you set the airbrush to create such fine spray?

[@redgreen09]

looks good to me see more as post it

[@boerharms2209]

With this being a july 45 tank, I wouldve personally left off some fenders and tools.. Still looks great, though! I like the result a lot.

[@Brera011]

Hi Andy, as always I like your builds and videos. The thing I would really to see is how you build the Revell Bell UH-1C (kit 04960). I'm building at the moment but I'm curious what you think of this kit.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Man! That looks great Andy! As usual you do great work man! Lord have mercy though, that 105 mm gun is pretty much a Howitzer sized gun isn’t it? When I first got back to my Guard Unit after basic and AIT, that was the size Howitzers we had, at first, but after a few years we graduated to 109’s. But anyway, Great job buddy!

[@xdxdxdxdxdxdxdxdxdxd7714]

Andy challenge video idea. Build a model, paint it, weather it, BUT you can't use an airbrush

[@rustykilt]

Can you tell me what AIRBRUSH you use …… I am looking at the PAASCHE TALON or IWATA REVOLUTION... something for finer work as well as all round use.... many thanks

[@marceldekerpel2268]

How would you recomend applying model putty. Also great build

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I'm sure Andy will pipe in but I find acrylic putties easiest to use. You can apply them with a small putty knife (a scrap piece of styrene works in a pinch) and smooth it with a wet finger. You can even put masking tape on both sides of the seam to keep from applying too much. Acrylic putties also file very easily. I like Vallejo's brand.

[@marceldekerpel2268]

@@jerryvolpini7987 Thank you for the response. I was using similar methods however i had not wet my finger and i had nothing lying around to make appliction easier. I went through my 250 grit sandpaper faster than i had with the growing number of models i had built. I will be sure to use these methods to see if it helps me out. Thank you

[@rustyfmj2388]

Hey Andy! I love your videos. Seen some kits i've built myself as well wich give another perspective as i paint everything by brush instead of airbrush. Watching your videos has given me new energy to continue building myself after having a short hiatus inbetween builds. I'm far off of being a semi-/pro builder but i do my best getting good looking results and i've picked up a few things from your videos. Can i make a suggestion? The 1/350 Scharnhorst by Dragon, it's the only kit available in that scale as far as i know. Would love to see what you think and make of it. Cheers

[@tyler.__.g3923]

What do you use for clear coat?

[@shengyi1701]

i still prefer the Tamiya 1994 kit though the Takom and Meng ones are asking me to build them!

[@sistermarynapalm8612]

I really like the model. It looks quite nice and what you made out of it is wonderful and inspiring. But - and I want to point that out because it caught my eye immediately. If a company labels a box, they should do it correctly. It's Scheinwerfer in German, not Sheinwerfer.

[@slopedarmor]

I think you mounted the left and right track just like the king tiger at bovington. Which means they are the wrong way around. No biggie, it'd still work and I might be the first one to notice : p

[@NapFloridian]

Wheels should be painted separately, then at the very end attached. Detailing the wheels is much easier that way.

[@neilf5961]

ok newbie question, how are you removing extra panel liner? I used enamel thinner as recoomended somewhere but it just stripped off all the apint underneath.
