Takom KV-5 Super Heavy Tank [

[@Mr_Bunk]

Glad to see you're still on the right track. And the left one, too.

[@josephstewart105]

Lol

Mistakes = good strong Soviet construction

[@williamkoppos7039]

Indy track links are a lot of work (would be better if there were less attachment points to clean up) but c,mon, man, they look great.

[@jordyncollier919]

By the Beard of Rasputin that is one amazing soviet tank! Well done, Herbert

Jordyn Collier lol now it makes sense

I can't hear this music without thinking "Herbert!"

[@sparetime2475]

I remember when you started this months ago Also something about this video brought out the joy I had with your older videos when I just found your channel Thank you. Edit: I came here a year later (again supporting my point in the original comment) and spotted a typo lol.

Nice vid . Glad to hear a good assessment of this kit for a change . Mine went together easily enough , including the tracks - experience taught me to check the fit of the sprockets first . I took extra care to align all of the wheels, idlers and return rollers then assembled the botton run . When it was dry i tried the drive sprocket for fit by rolling it along the flat track ; i always do this with individual link tracks . I used a scalpel to shave a little from the sprocket teeth and bingo . One thing that puzzles me is how some modelers completely build tanks before painting them ; i can't figure that out atr all

[@jimmytgoose476]

Excuse the typos- i thought shitty youtube had an edit button ... Anyway , i added clear vision ports for the driver (and did wonder why such an expensive kit didn't have any clear parts for the periscopes etc.) and scratchbuilt a KV2-style door for the turret rear , my reasoning being to improve crew access and replenishing those huge ammo rounds .

[@lMrJackl]

I did enjoy the video almost as much as I enjoy my KV-5 in WoT. Fun tank, and beautifully boxy. Did you paint it yet?

[@stonksrgud7645]

where did you get the metal barrel?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It came with the kit

[@markfergerson2145]

I've watched your build and am now going to watch Andy's Hobby Headquarters build. He paints his and everything so it will be longer, but not by much. He tends to compress his videos leaving out much of the individual parts you fiddle with. I like that you show the fiddly parts because we all run into those and it's nice to have warning.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It would make editing the videos way quicker and easier to leave out the fiddly bits. But it's what I would want to see if I were stuck on a model, or even just considering buying it. I'm glad people find that helpful too. Though I do enjoy Andy's videos too. it's good to have variety and viewing options.

[@Htatoohlaing]

oh man I was going to buy this model, but a Tiger 1 model got the better of me.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

They do that some times.

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

This is wheely on track to a big tank.

[@boerharms2209]

Dont get your radio man killed!

[@HerbertErpaderp]

Is fine. He can be fixed.

[@jantimmer5558]

Is this more derp than kv2?

[@josephstewart105]

Yes more derp

[@fnglert]

@@josephstewart105 Not derp. Derpy maybe in design, but the gun is a high velocity AP gun, not a derp.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I would say less derp gun-wise... More derp ramming-wise

[@jimmytgoose476]

Wtf is a derp ?!!

[@WulfCorbett]

Do you have the Takom Ratte kit? With the two teeny weeny Maus...

[@ClonesDream]

Why stop at 1/100 Ratte? Why not 1/72 Ratte? :DDDD

[@WulfCorbett]

@@ClonesDream The Takom kit is 1:144, however, I do have a 3d printable version which can be split to print piece by piece...

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I have seen it, but so far I haven't bought it.

[@WulfCorbett]

@@HerbertErpaderp It's a very simple kit - I bought it when Hobby Link Japan had a real brain fart & sold it at a ludicrously low price - for about an hour or two! They honoured the sales made at that price though. I really wanted the two 1/144 scale Mauses... Mice... Meeces...

[@gundog39]

The hull machine gun turret, also known as the R2D2 turret by long time WOT players :)

[@redgreen09]

yes harby me looks kind of 4ok ish got lok fore this kit or one just like it and in 148th scaile i see more when you post more

[@loulakion]

you won't paint it ?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

Not until I feel like it.

[@loulakion]

@@HerbertErpaderp you are truly patient one xD

[@domibik]

The sexiest Soviet tank.

[@The_last_prime]

Nice man

[@torbjornlindberg]

soldier with a flamethrower ?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

Gotta throw something. It does seem to be a flame thrower. I guess I didn't pay that much attention, I just assumed it was an SMG or something. But the box does suggest flame thrower.

[@rockstrongo8543]

wtf y isnt it painted. u could of at least tryed

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I'm not sure I could explain in such a way that you would be capable of understanding.

[@mildly_miffed_man1414]

Herbert has so much shit to do, well be lucky if he even paints it.
