Nice work John, I have this kit in my stash along with the Kettenkrad and the Zundapp with sidecar, thanks for sharing, I like to see other modellers builds and the finished product before I start mine, always so many good ideas.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you for watching and commenting, I’ve also got the kettenkrad and the zundapp that I need to build ASAP

[@johntreloar8203]

@@Johnbuildsiconic Nice, will there be build videos of both?

Thank you my friend

Brilliant video John and nice model like it 👍

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed

[@TonyB868]

Your work on patina and weathering was worth every moment spent on this superb model. As orhers have said, without prior knowledge it would easily pass as 1: 1 in the right environment. Great job John and hope you're happy to add to your fantastic collection 👍

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you tony for watching and commenting, yes the model is now in a custom display case in pride of place

[@steve1315]

Very very nice John.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Cheers Steve, it was released before in March, but back then KZbin wouldn’t recommend my videos, so I removed the video for a later date

[@JAFKARNAT]

Unusual model, superb workmanship, well done.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed today’s video

This is a great kit have in my stash ,this is a lovely build John you done this Italeri kit justice mate .

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you Charlie, i enjoyed this build, & I will be building more italeri kits in the future

[@rickgregory9616]

If I didn't know it was a plastic model, I would think it was the real thing! You did a fantastic job!

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you Rick, it’s really hard for me to spend my time building model like this, because you tube won’t recommend armour builds to subscribers, but I wanted to build this kit for me own personal collection

[@rickgregory9616]

@@JohnbuildsiconicThat's interesting because I do get this recommended topic in You Tube. I subscribe to a local hobby shop in Arizona who builds military equipment, and another channel does as well, and I get a list of other channels doing the same thing, which is how I found them. ummm?🤔

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

@rickgregory9616 you tube is very hard to understand, I’ve got almost 15,000 subscribers, and after 6 hours, so far KZbin have only spent 50 notifications to my subscribers that I’ve upload this video

[@rickgregory9616]

@@Johnbuildsiconic You Tube is run weird, no doubt. I had no idea you can monitor how many of your subscribers have been notified. I can see your point: if no one, or a majority do not get notifications, why spend the time doing the video? But the video is posted which means its accessible. And if subscribers are like me, I periodically go to channels I subscribe to for past videos or to watch one I've seen before, especially build or "how to" videos. I've visited your channel numerous time.

[@rickgregory9616]

@@Johnbuildsiconic p.s. You're not really wasting your time. Depending how you title and meta-tag your videos, can being in new viewers and potential subscribers. Recently I received a comment on one of my videos; "I just ran across your video . . . you just got a new scriber from. . . " - just a thought. 😀

[@johnnyhollis9977]

Hi John, hope all good with you. Great idea to do the weathering as you progressed the fiddly build. Very nicely done and not overcooked. Great work. Regards JH⚓

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

All good Johnny, thank you. I’ve just received my missing parts from the 1/72 caldercraft victory after waiting 10 weeks for them

[@johnnyhollis9977]

Excellent! 👍 @@Johnbuildsiconic

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi John, that was a absolutely outstanding build, of a very old kit, I remember build the same kit way back in the 1970's, I think the only thingbthat lets the kit down is scale thickness of the spokes, again congratulations on a build well done, best regards from Australia 👌👍👌👍👌👍

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you, I Would love to build this kit again and replace the spokes with some fine metal replacements

[@davidhaynes5163]

Hi John I have just finished this build but need a base was yours hand built or purchased , every build you do is superb craftsmanship , this is a pain of a build but builds up nice in the end 👍👍👍👍
