Kit Review: Tamiya 35177 Sturmtiger in 1/35

[@daltonvickers7977]

Nice kit. Can't wait for the build. Thanks

[@AdamMann3D]

+dalton vickers Thanks Dalton.

[@Tiger1AuasfE]

Thanx for the review, i want to build this one.

[@jeremygilly7964]

Have a question, flor this variant of "tigen 1" would using buff as a substitute for the dark yellow be more appropriate for when they were used during the later stage of the war. If not xf60 will be what I'll uses. Would like your thoughts. Thanks.

[@AdamMann3D]

I actually prefer buff with a warm filter afterwards. Check out my Panther painting video. I used buff as 7028

[@darronhedges5873]

is it takom or rfm bringing a sturm tiger out soon.I saw a picture somewhere?looked good in its grey styrene.Dragon had any problems with turning one out.Cash grab opportunity.

Considering the price, not bad....but I know I won't be buying it. I have been thinking about a Brummbär though, to go with my 4502 V that I got recently (review on my channel) and now I need to look through your channel to see if you ever made one of those! ;)

AFV club is def much better. I built it in 1:48 and it was just as good. Concidering the price you got it for thats the most I wuld Pay for the Tamiya offering. I wuld even get Italieri or Zvezda before Tamiya. Sprue brothers are asking $45 for the Tamiya kit as of today With missing detail and semi interrior, the AFV club wins in both price around($25-30)and detail of the kit.

[@AdamMann3D]

+WarWarNeverChanges I agree, I think the only reason I picked this up was because it was so cheap and right in front of me. Now the fact that I've dropped a ton of money on aftermarket for the build is another topic all together. Having built this when I got in to building also had a lot to do with wanting to do the kit justice as well. Do you have any thoughts on the AFV Club interior upgrade set?

[@warwarneverchanges4937]

I think it might be worth it, and open it up, quite a good subject to start with I think as far as cut aways goes, sence it has no turret. I wuld go all out or nothing to be honest when it comes to interriors.

hi adam, can i ask, is there a website that you use for your research as i find your knowledge of kits and the vehicles incerdible. you say in some of your videos sometimes that you will research certain things and like i said in your tiger video your videos and knowledge is fantastic and with me taking our hobby alot more serious i would love to have a website i can turn to for info.... thanks and adam really your videos and model builds are brilliant, please dont ever stop making them . regards, steve

[@AdamMann3D]

+Steve Mottram absolutely, scalemates.com, I cannot over state how important it is.

[@michaelchang969]

Nicely done once again :) Tamiya just doesn't always have the quality, and quantity, of dragon sometimes does it?

[@engared]

+Michael Chang Tamiya is always easy and fun to build. Well change always to most of the time.

[@1-35SCALE]

[@AdamMann3D]

[@samcrane5273]

try the italeri one its sorta middle ground between this and the afv club one

[@claytonmcclain182]

cool review.

[@AdamMann3D]

+Clayton McClain Thank you.

[@gaustadtpanzer3606]

No rubber tracks? Also did the Sturmtiger use Tiger 1 tracks?

[@AdamMann3D]

The Sturmtiger used Tiger I tracks yes.

[@gaustadtpanzer3606]

Thanks!

[@comeandsee2012]

How about a review on russian tanks like the T-62 A?

[@modellbaufreak307]

Very nice video :) it's a good kit :)

[@AdamMann3D]

+Modellbau Freak Thanks. It is, it's actually the first kit I'd ever built of a modern Tiger tooling after the 1975 Tamiya Tiger. I was able to build it pretty well then and now I'll be able to take that super detailing route.

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

a sturmtiger looks a bit like an american football player :)
