I am one of those weird ppl loving 1/48 armor kits so much. I wish there would be more of them.

[@chexquest87]

I am too. While I was finishing graduate school I had a relatively small apartment so 48th scale was nice because they did not take up so much room. Now im just keeping with it so my models are all in scale. Can't wait for this kit

[@Axelfl6161]

I like them as well and tamiya 1/48 are generally excellent

[@schlookie]

I love 1/48 armour too and wish there was more of it

[@Boppinabe]

I had a fabulous Bandai T34/76 with interior detail back in the day(like 40 years ago).

[@jimbe01]

Very appropriate theme/assembly music 🎶 for a T-34. P.S. thanks for showing the actual paint pots/bottles in the video, Definitely helps with identifying the colors/types of materials being used.👍

[@stephenharrington528]

Andy great build and also a fantastic weathering great job Steve 🇬🇧

[@jpmosko3948]

Hi Andy, great build, I'm a total T34 fan, cheers...

[@allgood6760]

Cool!.. a great tank 👍

[@lesliebatonyi9479]

Good morning Andy!! The next time you talk with Tamiya, please ask them to make an "add on" set of larger handles for their new sprue cutters, I have large hands, and the small handles are cumbersome to use! Thank you, have a safe day, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@olmocap5548]

Hmm, I really appreciate that you finally hopped into more heavy weathering, now its time to keep it up and improve further

[@KondzioGDI]

Wow, just great, i even don't know it comes out :) Best wishes from Poland!

[@kevinmaloy1628]

I'm sorry Andy ...... 1/48 Scale & Track assembly ? These old - eyes just can't handle it. 1/35 Armor & 1/32 Aircraft is about as small as I can do

[@RimsModels]

another great video andy love the weathering keep up the good work my friend

[@azaperr8494]

Nice kit, thinking of buying it but how many parts does this contain and should I get another kit as im starting out with modeling and im not sure what i should get. If you have any tips/sugestions feel free to respond.

[@ATS507]

Brutal!!!!!! Hello from Panama 🇵🇦

[@doublenickelbob]

Great video as usual, keep em coming I'll keep watching

[@Jakubescu]

Great build as usual...Thank you Andy:-) Would be great if Tamyia built some modern Russian tanks in 1.48 or 1:35 scale, Trumpeter kits are soooo complicated:-)

[@oldschoolamerican748]

So it is OK to paint a LP Tamiya paint over an XF Acrylic paint? Also I noticed you just applied the decals on the LP coat and later coated it with a clear flat coat of XF-80?

[@guidor.4161]

If i didn't have so many 1:35 and 1:32 kits I would start over in 1:48 for both armor and aircraft. So much available nowadays...

[@i.setyawan]

Another great build. This channel deserves more subscribers. Tamiya 48th scale armor reminds me of my childhood, when I used to build their old, motorized mini tanks series with my dad. We chose that scale since those were basically all we could afford. Well done, sir. I've always enjoyed your videos. Stay safe, stay healthy, and I hope that someday I will have the honor to meet you in person.

[@spinster4000]

models need to start coming stock with rubber tracks, plastic tracks are too finnicky.. Ive broken so many track pieces its insane. I really would like to see more rubber tracks.

[@SCM223]

There are hundreds of videos on KZbin showing different methods of assembly. Rubber band tracks will never have the detail of individual or link and length. Thankfully most manufacturers have begun steering away from the rubber type.

[@spinster4000]

@@SCM223 Im just not a fan of them, i recently built a revell 2a5 in 1/72 scale (it was a birthday present) and once I put on the tracks and started to bend them around the wheels they just snapped. Maybe this was just for this model but ive had many of other plastic tracks do the same.

[@SCM223]

@@spinster4000 I hear ya, I had the same problem with the Revell 1/72 M2. Had to keep applying cement until they softened enough to conform. I'll readily admit those aren't great. To each their own but I'd encourage you to give 'em another shot.

[@spinster4000]

@@SCM223 yah im going to, my recent purchase was an Italeri M1A1 Abrams and in the kit they have plastic tracks with a bunch of links, so im giving it a shot, but i do prefer rubber, the ease of use is mind blowing and lets me focus on much more fun parts of the build

[@davidgibb9910]

Totally agree, maybe there should be different options with both rubber and plastic individual tracks, might add to the cost but to me personally, if manufacturers go totally to plastic then as my eyes (fat fingers as well😊) get worse, I afraid I might have stop modelling

[@georgelush1998]

Great build and weathering, as always. Great selection of music too. Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker. Both Russian and seasonal!

[@cookinginthesink5054]

Hey sir, your content is marvellous but could you demonstrate some of the functions of the tanks for example moving them so we can see the tyre's movement and mechanics. That would be great bud!😃

[@jackharmon5366]

They’re static models mate, the wheels and tracks are stuck like this and don’t rotate

[@cookinginthesink5054]

@@jackharmon5366 but a youtube video showed some were remote controlled

[@elvensouls]

Looks great!

[@thomas1619]

hi andy i recently started building models and i want to paint them but i dont know which air compressor i should use do you have any good pick (im on a budget) btw u make great content.

[@donfrandsen7778]

As usual Andy, great video and as always a real upbeat event for the week to see an Andy video build n detail. I am a die hard 1/35th scale , but it’s fun never the less Andy , great weathering techniques Andy, cool paint job Cheers Andy!!!!

[@michaelnaven213]

It’s a dirty little tank. Well done.

[@АлексейПопов-з9п]

У вас отличное видео

[@unknownsolider1559]

I've asked for at least 25 models for Christmas and I have a spitfire but I dropped it 😭

[@joeshmoe9978]

Don't feel bad. Literally every modeler has dropped, or damaged in some other way, a built model.

[@CurvedSlightly]

I'm not sure about 1/48, and I think 1/16 is also too big, I think around 1/20 might look about right. However, I think these would look good as a collection e.g. panthers, tiger, panzers in 1/48

[@joeshmoe9978]

Neat kit and video, but the weights that tamiya provides are completely unnecessary and gimmicky. One minor complaint...there is getting to be WAY too many long commercials for a short video. Yes, I know one can pay KZbin to not see them, but honestly how many of you do that?

[@dalewood6812]

Great build. It's a nice Anniversary gift for me. I do love dirty tanks.

[@jerryschneider145]

Love the videos, the music cracks me up every time.

[@thenotsousefulengine]

THANK YOU FOR COMPaRINg YOUR HAND OMG I HAVE BEN LOOKInG FOr A HOUR

Andy, I think you are far from mediocre👍👌

[@jaguarkyorugi7507]

I love this toy and only have the f4u crosair plane Because the price of this toy is expensive

[@Ac1d_Fire]

How do model sizes work its it bigger the number the smaller the model

[@KOR_chaffe]

Tamiya 1/48 is very noob friendly

[@ЮрийЧерных-л7ж]

Very nice! Hello from Russia=)

[@鎌田英明-c6f]

キットの紹介👍

[@subseeker]

Too shiny. What's the rotating base, where can I get one

[@j.4198]

Couls you share info on the nifty glue tray you have?

[@GyuHobbyRC]

I watched the funny and informative video well. You have a good hobby. Want to be a close friend. 우리 친구해요~😀😀😀

[@skysailing4355]

Where did u get the 3 glue bottles holder pls? Thk u

[@shimousasougou]

Hobby Boss T-34/85 had detailed nice interiors and was not expensive, but was a nightmare to build. Really looking forward for this new kit.

[@swaggyfarts5654]

Amazing build as always. You never fail to amaze.

[@kitswithkaren5003]

Very nice build 👍🤗🐻🐉

[@virgiehelton8664]

what is the best paint to use on painted models

[@TacoTeaser]

Back in the 60's and early 70's I built scale tank models often. I don't remember EVER having to build tracks. They always seemed to be rubber band style. When did this change? I built many Tamiya kits. Many of them were also motorized.

[@adamfox1669]

I have a stupid question.... Do you do mail order for Tamiya modeling supplies?(glues,primer, etc) thanks

[@od1452]

The "Toy" like look kept me away from the smaller scales.... but this kit looks good. maybe I'll do a 1/48 kit. I'd like to see Tamiya up-grade their 1/35 T 34s. I would particularly like to see a STZ T34. I like the clear parts on their newest KV 1. .. even the figures goggles. Thanks for the review.

[@johnniehoward5644]

Hi Andy this is Johnnie howard from La Puente California, I was in your store back in May of this year, I wanted to know Andy if you have tamiya US M26 Dragon wagon a ww2 tank hauler, I wanted to know how much does two cost????

[@jerryschneider145]

The only thing I would add to the model is to beat up the fenders front and back.

[@DilophoMS]

And some 75 or 88 mm holes.

[@ryuublitz961]

I love your videos andy. I plan on buying something from your store for christmas

[@MarcioFSilva-hv7oo]

Very nice model. But the box art looks like a copy from the Sherman Easy Eight 1/48

[@135thscalefiguresinreview4]

Outstanding as usual👍! Would you know if Tamiya is making this in 1/35? I know they have an older version from the 70’s, but a new tooling would be very welcomed😊

[@prinzabubu]

Great demonstration video as always. Question: The barrel looks terrible. It looks bent and the muzzle looks like it’s missing material. Is that how it is?

[@AFVFactoryClubWWII]

T-34/85 Model 183 Factory Production^^

[@simongee8928]

Your build as ever is faultless. When are you going to introduce figures to your models - ? I shied away from figures for a long time, but now I always put them in, sometimes aftermarket ones as I feel that they bring the model to life and give it an extra dimension.

[@george_364]

I'm working on an older Tamiya 1:48 scale tank, and there the 'extra weight' comes from a metal bathtub style hull. I'm not sure why the weight is needed, unless you want to use the model as a paperweight.

[@hexo4yxa571]

Nice model!👍from 🇷🇺

[@56Gumball]

Nice job Andy! 👍🏼

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Looks like a cool kit, nice build Andy!!! 👍 👍 👍 👌 👌 👌

I think i still prefer the Hobbyboss T34/85 .

[@PeteCourtier]

Great stuff👍 If this is small, try a 1/72 armour kit. Dragon or Vespid kits are great👍🍺

[@totallyfalcon8766]

1/72 is very small than 1:48

[@PeteCourtier]

@@totallyfalcon8766 I know👍

[@theastrononeer1211]

Out of curiosity, what happened to that Rye Field T34 you were building?

[@ericbadia5]

Awesome build, very excited to buy it once it is out on early 2021! Hopefully this new year is gonna be much better than 2020 hahaha. If not, let me think so... please😂

[@Mauscmkwk]

You should try the model collect 1/72nd scale p1000 ratte

[@garyparker2969]

Awesome Results Andy, thanks for Sharing Your Fun, But 1/48th Too Small for THESE Eyes 🤓, Wishing You and All Yours a Healthy Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@j.mcq.8418]

You also need an optivisor.

[@j.mcq.8418]

That must be a very good tank crew to be able to keep that tank in the fight long enough to look like that! It looks great but my impression of the eastern front is that life expectancy for a tank and crew is measured in days.

[@fedemotta3]

1/48 seems a good mid point in between 1/35 and 1/72.

[@davidveros2100]

Nice build. Have not built 48 scale in a long time.

[@mikehill9078]

Awesome build, do you still use MMP paints?

[@TR_TenSeven]

Wow, very nicely done. Another beauty from Andy.

[@doublenickelbob]

What are those tweezer you are using? Do you sell them or have a link?

[@markboyles8019]

He has them in his store, I picked up two, they’re nice.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Andy, another great build my a true master, like Stephen stated, a little too small for my old eyes, hope you and your family are all keeping well, all the best for the upcoming holiday season.

[@j.mcq.8418]

You need an optivisor! I couldn't build models without one.

[@vernebeck8108]

Andy: is the barrel slidemolded ,( one piece)?

I really like tamiya 1/48 scale,really good quality

[@kfeltenberger]

It needs a Katyusha figure from Girls und Panzer. ;-)

[@PeterFulford]

Thanks for the vid, especially the track construction bit. I'm still recovering from a horrible 1/72 ISU-122 kit who's parts did not fit at all. Any hints on how to sand the handles without breaking them? And if they break, any ideas on getting repairing them?

[@SCM223]

Recreate with wire. Far away your best option.
