Flames of War Plastic Tank Destroyer Platoon [15mm]

A while ago Battlefront released these plastic M10/M36 tank destroyers for Flames of War, I just couldn’t resist. This is a very nice kit and I would definitely recommend it. Very easy to build and the result is quite pleasing. I compared this kit with the old metal and resin version and unsurprisingly I think the plastic model is much, much better. But you be the judge for yourself. Let me know what you think!
Soon I shall build the plastic Tigers battlefront also released around the same time, so stick around for that if you like big cats.

Heh, great magnet trick. Can't believe I never thought of that previously... would have saved one or two hassles in the past.

[@jawa011]

"Magnets are usually metal" - No shit :D

[@HeadHunterSix]

I'm so glad to find that. I got this model in the Fury box and it only has instructions for the M10, but not the M36 turret. I couldn't find any assembly instructions for that turret on the FoW site and, like you, I have my derp moments if I'm not following instructions (and sometimes the images aren't 100% clear given the angle).

[@PaintPlastic]

Oh hell yes. More tank kit vids.

[@ethan5354]

You're back?! KZbin had the audacity to hide your notifications from me! Well, the upside is that now I get to binge watch all the videos I missed!

[@HerbertErpaderp]

KZbin is so rude sometimes! How dare they! Also, yes, I'm back!

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

Great vid Herbert and I agree I prefer the plastic kit. A nice little build.

[@thelittlestmig3394]

Bridge at Remagen book has M36B1 available.

[@starscreamsdkfz475]

Thanks! thanks to all your tips I will build my own panzer IV platoon

[@potatwoinc5537]

ahhhhhhhhhhh, another great video... keep it up Herbert!

[@gamergee88]

I always enjoy your videos. Well done sir well done

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

It is a good kit of an interesting tank. I got one for my soviet force in TANKS. Although in this game it is a very weak vehicle. But it looks cool. And the kit - as you said - fits perfect and is a pleasure to build. Thumbs up for the model and your video.

[@shadowtiger6956]

details look nice for a 15mm,

[@Lo-tf6qt]

Ah yes , Flames of War is back

[@rod.h8064]

Battlefront have designed their plastic tanks to use a ~5mm by

[@HerbertErpaderp]

They don't even include the magnets anymore either. They used to. It's a bit annoying, but now you know the trick you can get around it in the future!

[@norm977]

Thank you -

[@zxcvbob]

I liked how you did the magnets. I'm wondering how it would work to use a magnet on the turret and a M2 flat washer on the base. (M2 washer ought to fit glued on from the top.) Or vice versa. I don't have magnets yet and want to assemble my models.

[@jaredlucev4481]

I got to be like #100, which means nothing, but I'll take it. Really enjoying your videos, the format is solid. Keep it up!

[@boerharms2209]

very nicely detailed!! as usual from Battlefront. I like them... esoecially the one-piece tracks, they're among the best one-piece tracks i've seen in this scale :) about the decals, when a set of decals for say, a British version is not available.. have you ever tried printing you own decals? I have, its a bit of a hassle, but its the cheapest way I can get accurate 'markings' on the tails of my luftwaffe aircraft..

[@erichearth5061]

You can order the metal stowage separately if you want.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I didn't know that, but it's a good thing. Still, it would be nice if it was something they included though.

[@Duncannuva]

I enjoyed the video and now will have to keep my eye open for this model. Also I hate how slow this tanks turret spins in world of tanks and war thunder

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I'd expect that's because it was a hand cranked turret. You're clearly not whipping your crew hard enough.

[@jjab99]

Great video and I love the different versions of this tank destroyer, wasn't the British version called the Achilles ???? Have a great week and I am already looking forward to your next video. Have fun, Joe

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It was indeed called Achilles.

[@jjab99]

Yea!! I got something right, fetch the fireworks and pop that bubbly!!

[@jeffdave8884]

Great informative vid. 17pdr variant was a good choice. Why don't you like painting crew? Your infantry are usually very good

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I'm not even sure. I just find it less enjoyable than painting a tank. I'm usually less satisfied with the results and I think tanks look better without people hanging out of them.

[@DatOneAsianKid]

Even tho i have these, this video makes me want to get more! But 1/75 is a better scale for me, in my opinion.

[@boerharms2209]

1/75?? never seen a model in that scale.. do you mean 1/72 or 1/76.. if not, could you tell me which manefacturer has these 1/75 models??

[@DatOneAsianKid]

Ah hell, my bad, meant to out 1/72 scale. It was already late at night and I wasn't really thinking right :P

[@boerharms2209]

no problem, thats cool, 1/72 is my favourite scale too :D

[@oajh2252]

Is derptopia coming back?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I'm in the middle of a rough edit of the next episode right now.

[@RoadWarrior_John]

Not a fan of the magnet test stick 5000, much prefer the 4000. Although I do hear that the 6000 comes with ergonomic grips.

[@warriormes6012]

I've heard leaks that the 7000 will come with a laser centerguide and WiFi... HYPE!

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It's pretty good after the latest software updates. they really improved the compatibility issues that plagued it on release. The 6000 is a bit fancy for me.

[@Mr_Bunk]

On a related note, check out this funny film on the M10; kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGi2fWuQi7Ssd9k It may be propaganda, but I find the idea of AFVs having marketing like this very much humorous! Imagine that kind of an advertisement for the Tiger 1...

[@michaelswift2471]

Is 15mm 1/72 scale?

[@jacqueline6475]

1/100 scale

[@harrydavies8340]

i need to get this kit it will be useful in version 4 mid war when the Americans come out.

[@beanlocater1308]

I want to get this tank in wot, sadly though, im worse at the game than shia laboufs reputation

[@HerbertErpaderp]

You can do it! Even I did it!

[@yeetosyeeterofyeet1825]

If you do then the tier 6 heavies like the Kuro Mori Mine can tear wolverines, and Jacksons pretty easily
