Believe me Sir when you said in the video about not wanting to bore us from cutting off the fine detailed parts painting and glueing the parts together. Especially myself and who knows how many other modelers who are beginners might feel the same way as I do. Please don't think you have to cut corners just to please the experienced modelers. I would like to learn a great deal about cutting these very fine parts so I wouldn't break the parts. Thank You for taking the time to read my questions and comments. Sincerely Allan

30 minutes of andy building, time to get popcorn. the tank looks awsome!

[@gaustadtpanzer3606]

This kit is over the top!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!

[@dakel20]

Hot damn that thing is gloriously, insanely, way over the top detailed.... I need one in my life.

[@Kashban]

Wow. I made the 1:16 Panther G from Tamiya as an RC model and it was besides the "Wappen of Hamburg" sailing battle ship from Revell the most sophisticated model I've ever made. This is it times 1000 👌

[@inhumanbookworm]

That box is so intimidating.

[@thorstone3515]

You've never bored me with a single build,paint and/or weathering video Andy!!! Huge thumbs up!!

[@HammerRocks]

Please show more of how you paint the parts. Particularly when you're weathering them. These is what makes your previous videos so cool to watch.

[@The_last_prime]

You paint it so detailed And realistic good job man Keep up the good work

[@junglelands91]

Andy you must have the patience of a saint, fair play to you, great video mate, it a really big help to all the not so good modellers like myself. Thanks again.

[@robbyhood2467]

I'll make sure I have a bottle of aspirin next to me when I build This kit. Great job Andy.

[@stevejones9044]

Agreed. Looks like a lot of poorly designed part fit.

[@tome1476]

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL ITS THE MOST RELAXING THING I HAVE EVER WATCHED. PERIOD.

[@Duececoupe]

Oh bollocks....113 and 213, that means that I've got to get one! Beautiful build so far Andy and great with all the heads ups as well! Looking forward to see the rest come together! 👍👌👏

[@reconranger1370]

WOW Andy, that box is BIG enough to fit a full scale of the tank. Thanks for sharing, you did a great job. Joe

[@inthelionsden6335]

It's all about the interior so I think using all clear parts is the right choice. So cool to see through the turret and see the details inside. Really going to look great when displayed.

[@andy26111]

just ordered the kit,your videos encouraged me to embark on this journey.thanks,and keep up the good work!

[@Jhahevieo]

holy hell, This is going to be so much fun to build

[@gordon7005]

Superb build superbly presented. Looking forward to part 2

[@Spitsz01]

Wow, awesome model! Great job Andy.

[@johntomlinson307]

Thanks for that Andy a great kit and a fantastic walkthrough and introduction to it. Panthers, Panthers everywhere. Think I might have to change my favourite from the Tiger I. Thanks again..

[@TheSaturnV]

Genius idea to paint the band on the lower portion of the turret, worked perfectly.

[@tonysurridge8608]

Excellent job!,look forward to more episodes of the build'

[@mattbaker5498]

Can't wait for the next episode👌 very very cool build.thx so much Andy✌

[@grandpaweber2097]

Hello Andy, As much of a bear this kit looks to build it is just too cool not to have. I WILL be getting it. Great video as always, keep 'em coming.

[@bic100]

Brilliant work, Andy. 30 minutes of the video goes like one, thank you for sharing. Can't wait for next parts :) Regards from Russia.

[@luigiwilwayco8733]

I'm really enjoying your full interior build videos. Looking forward to the rest!

[@larryscarafile7309]

Fantastic kit. Nice build Thanks for a great vidieo

[@WilliamBurnett17]

That like to dislike ratio is incredible! Great video as always

[@neilfairless4589]

I like the idea of half and half paint job, one way it's painted, turn it around and you can see into it. Either way it will be stunning.

[@ArmyDr]

Andy, you taught me how to model. And I'm very thankful for this. I have this idea - It will be super cool if you made this model half of it clear and half of it like a normal tank. You will have to cut the parts, but it will be so amazing!

[@hopslam05]

So many videos back - 2 - back! Keep up the great content Andy! This channel inspired me to take up scale modeling last year. I've definitely purchased many of the models you have built and used your videos as a guide. Thanks again!

[@davecornfield]

Forgot to say, love the videos, please keep them coming.

[@orbitalair2103]

Testers sell glue for clear polystyrene parts that dries clear and wont fog. It takes longer to set up and is more flexible, but is sold for use with like model car windshields. I found it works pretty good.

[@mikecooper8462]

Tamiya is being edged out by some of these new manufacturers. The detail with the mold processes is super impressive.

[@michaelslack5269]

As someone who started off building cars...an old car makers trick for 'clear' or 'glass' parts is to use a (small in your case) drop of clear gloss paint. Can't even tell it's there. This has never failed me...just let it dry thoroughly and yer golden! Hope this helps.

[@640806177RWG]

This is a great bild with so much fun,greetings from the Netherlands

[@MrDredd1966]

Stunning kit!!😱😍

[@BrianPivik]

Awesome build, Andy!

[@akaus1000]

Great video. Very detailed. Looking forward to the next one!

[@NateBliss]

wow! that is such a cool kit! You're doing a fantastic job! looking forward to the next video!

[@jessycamerier697]

Great job Andy! I'm building the Tiger I with full interior from Ryefield Model, and i think its a great kit! No fit problems and fun to build! :-)

[@MK-wl6zz]

Nice work Andy👍👍👍

[@kenrickfearn1448]

I too had an issue with one piece of etch being a tiny bit too long ...but the torsion rods fitted pretty well ...I think it’s a question of just not pushing the tub edges too close at their base into to their respective fitting points ...annoying that one piece of etch was clearly too long ...

[@thevitaminp]

Sweet! As soon as I get my house back together (thanks Harvey) I'm going to start on my Takom Tiger II.

[@spaceosis8977]

wow!!!!!!! That's a scary good work! Seems to be so much fun!

[@patrikpillar64]

beautiful model and beautiful work on it :)

[@symmbias3752]

Great job andy

[@FreddyHoffmann]

As always, it is great fun to watch Andy's build. Here is a tip for making paint adhere to brass photoetch; use AK Interactive's Photoetch burnishing fluid.

[@milky55way2012]

nah, just sand the PE, then paint.

[@antondeheer417]

It's realy amazing!!! I'm looking forward to part 2 (and 3, 4...;) ).

[@keithcourter5148]

Hi Andy i just got that kit a couple days ago

[@Gustavflyer]

Hey Andy, love your videos! With these extra parts maybe you will have enough left over to build a pantherturm. Would be a great addition to the Panther collection

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Superb job Andy good choice on the clear parts about the painting. About the p.e. try to sand them a little bit before painting it will help the paint to stick on it better my opinion with a 1000 grit sandpaper. Keep up the good work, thanks for all the great vids.

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Sgt Cortez not Vin Diesel Dont mention it always happy to help.

[@sherri1142]

Great work as always! Thank you for sharing.

[@Misitheus]

I just got done with the turret....I am going to have a nervous break down from this clear stuff and all these small parts...I am 55 and a long time builder....but I think I met my match....

[@craigmurrayauthor]

I think what would be cool would be to partially paint the hull. Keep most of it clear so you can see inside where you want to, then paint the other parts for the full effect

[@dzafer0045]

nice model i cant wait when you build it

[@DJ118USMC]

Been watching your videos for about a year. Just realized you are based in Arizona. I will have to stop by. :)

[@thorkane]

liked this video so much that I just bought the kit from you :-)

[@loboarmor8442]

I wish i could build That!! Thankyou for sharing Andy! Hello from.mexico!!

[@davidbutterfield2949]

Wow, incredible amount of detail in this kit. Turret looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the rest of it. 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@MrRon6977]

I like the exploded view you did on the other tank, but i like this clear plastic better. You get to see more detail i think. But i really suck with the clear plastic, I cant help but to get spider veins when i go to cut and sand the parts. I've tried all different ways but still the same outcome.

[@kevinm3751]

Really love your weathering results, it would be awesome if you would show us how you achieve the results you are showing us. You mentioned finding a video you found where they was redoing a Panther gun and it would be sweet if you would share that link. All in all great videos but sure wish you would provide more detail on the process and links to resources you have found useful. You say you dont want to bore us with the details and I say please bore us and those that find it boring can learn how to use a mouse to move past those areas that bore them...;)

[@sophievansnick8207]

Hey Andy , very nice kit indeed , but a little remark de sidesponsons are upside down, all the fittings for the ammoracks are just above your wheels You need to put them the other way around with the racks on the upper part of the sponsons. Keep up the good work , Sophie

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Amazing kit! Looking good Andy, great build/video. All these Panthers, just months apart, lot of happy modellers out there. Now, when will Takom release that Bergepanther......................?!?!?!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I heard march

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I can hardly wait...................hands trembling!!! We have waited so long for a decent kit of this tank!!!

[@homerh1376]

Cool video just finished making a tank

[@SeanODea25]

Homer Simpson Lol me too I just finished a tiny little 1/72 JS-2

[@thorstone3515]

Im still waiting on my next tank to build :( ....(its my most favorite tank in the world) ......Revell Kanonenjagdpanzer (KaJaPa) 1/35,should arive next week :)

[@johnnyvoodoo666]

I was thinking a similar idea for the clear bits, mask off areas to be viewable so you can still do a paint job. Be nice to wire in a little light

[@MrKiaserS]

Andy, i am not sure if you are aware yet but i noticed as you put on the sides you have the two long upper sponsons reversed. I am building the kit and made the same mistake and had to carefully remove them to put them on the correct side.

[@donfrandsen7778]

Andy your a model building machine!!! Awesome vid!!!! Dont know if i would use the clear parts , i think i would have all hatches open, engine hatch as well. Clear plastic ....nope Paint em But still amazing video Andy!! Cheers!!

[@markIburgess]

Very nice Andy. Shame they don't include standard parts as well as the clear body parts but of course that would add to the kits cost.

[@ottos_jagd842]

It will be awesome for it to build it

[@shaunbond330]

Only just found this video, after subscribing to the channel last week. Happy for someone to correct me, but the blue-gray colour that German tanks used wasn't as dark as you showed on the turret basket

[@gamedude412]

Are you the hull Pannier plate are correct Seem like all the ammo rack and firewall locator are flip to the outside of the hull ?

[@nizalmuhammad9689]

I love full interior kit

[@cipus2009]

ohhhh yessss.... got to have this one

[@Jakubescu]

Great work again Andy:-) But how about building some new tanks? We are literally flooded with Panters and Tigers. I think a lot of us would like to see some modern tanks for example T-90 and T-72 which are used in current conflicts, for example in Syria. Pity nobody builds these tanks in 1.48 scale. Cheers from Slovakia:-)

[@bryanevans350]

Brilliant video thanks. Can I ask what you used to glue to the vlear parts I made the rfm tiger and the clear parts have blurred if you know what I mean

[@merrick3627]

I know I'm late to the party here, but are these kits still available? You mentioned the 'first run' including a transparent hull

[@ryburnsjr]

I just received this model .wow

[@135studioartwork3]

Very nice

[@kenrickfearn1448]

The edging on the turret was a genius idea ...going to do the same with mine ...looking at your build of the gun mantle did you use the photo etch parts - I couldn’t see them ... Ric

[@troruaz]

Cool kit Andy! would love to know the specifics on how you glue the painted subassemblies to other things? Do you just scrape away paint so the glue sticks?

[@mikaelfrigeniua208]

I beleive the "loose "suspension arms help if you want an uneven diorama

[@pacbman1]

In the instructions for the 44 version, it shows cutting multiple items off the turret!? Is there a safe way to remove those items without ruining the clear turret?

[@Z3kyTw0]

This is awesome Thanks Andy!!!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thanks for watching

[@simonward4072]

Gotta get myself one of these, love a challenge.

[@sylvainflandre2906]

Bonjour de la France. .continue comme ça 👍👍👍

[@alj644]

ben ca fait 2 ;p

[@allanmartinez1190]

Hello Sir, I really enjoyed your video on the Ryefield Model Panther G. Being a beginner in the world of plastic modelling and I have no experience none what so ever. Would you please show us beginners how to use the nippers carefully to do a detailed step-by-step building of the real fine parts from cutting the parts from the trees and glueing the parts on the model? Thank You for taking the time to read my questions and comments. Sincerely Allan

[@ltf.7921]

What a cool video! Andy I have a question. Around 15:16, would the teeth on part A93 and B93 mesh into each other, and lock the gun at a fixed elevation? Would the gun freely elevate up and down when you are done assembling the turret? Though the gun assembly rides on a pair of poly caps, the presence of A93 & B93 makes me wonder if they are in the way. In the Takom Panther, the center gear in B93 is molded separately and can be rotated along freely when you elevate the gun.

[@bloodyapril6392]

Any decals for Panzer Grenadier Grossdeutchland? Crew and Choices for Panzer divisions are most important. Well, everybody has different wants and tastes.

[@kdhughes4407]

what type of glue did u use to attach the regular plastic to the clear plastic?

[@modeltankguy]

so far so good to bad a new kit with all these lil problems not good RF oh well I like it keep them coming

[@stuarttaylor3567]

Have you heard of "glue n glaze" by Deluxe Materials? It's great for gluing clear parts and making small windows 😁

[@owenauer3406]

When willyou be getting the Rye Storm Tiger with interior. Mine came but it's daunting to start.

[@ethantrinkley3292]

Good luck sir

[@BananaSquare]

Can I ask what glue did u use to glue the clear pieces to the normal plastic? PVA?

[@c3rber3s00]

Hi Andy, I just bought this kit and am looking forward to putting it together. Can you please let me know what type of glue do you use to glue the plastic parts to the clear parts? Just the regular thin plastic cement? Also would it be possible to list all the colors you used?

[@chelseachelseaboy]

During the early part of the turret build you mentioned being careful with the glue for parts attached to the clear parts Andy, which glue did you eventually use ?........I was thinking about using the glue used for sticking aircraft cockpit canopies.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I used Tamiya extra thin but let it dry a bit before putting the piece on

[@chelseachelseaboy]

Thanks Andy, It's looking superb so far.

[@tomsbasement4884]

Andy do use a paint booth or respirator when you airbrush? I am about to start airbrushing and wondering if I will need these things. Thanks and really enjoy your videos.

[@samreacts9973]

Hi Andy did you airbrush the off white in the interior?

[@darronhedges5873]

be carefull with torsion bars,put cocktail sticks through holes from outside so afgter shortening bars.the holes are clear and true.PE for 1 turret option too big,hull frame spars in PE too wide.Thick PE so either cut off tabs and glue against pins tab was meant to seat in.Or try and bend,but its by bend line and hard without breaking..im halfway done,anything confusing ask.i mightave solved it already.

[@hinge777]

whohoo, totally buying
