How has KZbin not recommended me your content till now??? It's absolutely amazing.

[@smc-2]

Thank you for watching my video. And it seems that you enjoyed it, it is above all. Thanks for your comment.😄

[@voodooo69]

Great build, I love modifying and improving kits. Part of the enjoyment is researching photos online and really getting a insight into the vehicle in use. its quite surprising how many mistakes are made with kits.

[@smc-2]

A scale model that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. I would appreciate it if you could enjoy my videos as well. Thank you for your comment.🍔🍔🍔

[@salameragazzo]

Love the simple and practical use of thin plastic card and liquid cement for adding the seam weld details. Definitely going to try this approach on my next dated kit that needs some enhancement!

[@smc-2]

I'm glad that my video was helpful to you. And your channel's detailed tank videos are great. It's a very good resource for me who don't have the opportunity to see old tanks directly. I immediately subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your continued support.😄

This is great, I haven't seen such a simple way to simulate welds yet!

[@lucasvidal3516]

Hi, one thing you should change on your model (not to detract from the amazing detailing work) is the tracks (if you look closely the side pins do not interconnect the tracks). The tracks on this kit were intended for a motorized kit. Congratulations on a superb assembly.

[@smc-2]

It can't be helped because it's an old kit. For me personally, it's enough if I enjoy assembling, painting, and weathering work to some extent. It's a scale model that I enjoy as a hobby, so I can't spend a lot of money and buy a lot of external parts to create a perfect kit like professional modelers do. Could you please understand? Thank you very much for watching the video and for your comments.😆

[@christopherk7920]

Always happy to see your video again ! M5A1 was the very first tank model i bought back in 1986

Very good with plenty of detail, I watch another channel called The Nightshift, he makes his welding beads with rolled putty but your way is also good. I look forward to your painting .

[@smc-2]

I posted the painting and weathering video for Part 2 a long time ago. Please take a look. Thanks for your comment.🍔🍔🍔🍺

[@1c3maan]

Martin's process is way more accurate, I get the idea, but like this is sticking too much out from the surface, would've been perfect if he made a root for it like real welds, bot nonetheless, it's just my opinion, otherwise I love to watch these vids.

Wow! I’ve seen a lot of high quality models lately… seems to be a lot of people doing these techniques (welds, steel texture, epoxy stowage, etc) but I haven’t seen a Stuart, and I haven’t seen many of this quality! Well done

Nice build! I’m currently working on the same kit and I’d recommend replacing the .30 cals that came with the kit.. it being an older kit the ones that come in the box are pretty nasty with the raised cooling jacket detail.

[@smc-2]

I see, that may be true. Thank you for your comment.✋

The tracks in this kit I'd replace, tamiya messed them up, the track connectors are in the wrong place, they must be opposite of the track guide horns. Great work though

Excellent build. Are you partial to using a particular expoxy brand? I had been using GreenStuff but grew weary of using it for bags, duffels, tarps, et cetera. I find GreenStuff is not as malleable as other expoxy brands.

[@smc-2]

I use Tamiya's quick type epoxy putty because it's easy to get. The quick type is just right for me who is impatient. Thank you for your comment.✋

Canteens don't magically stick to tank turrets or hulls, you need to attach them logically. The M1936 musette bag has grommets on the main flap for the wire staple on the canteen.

[@smc-2]

I think it's a detailed point that only an experienced person would have. Thank you for your valuable comment.

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

missing LynxDo you know if Tamiya ever corrected the rear of the M5A1?I enjoyed putting Tamiya kits in the very late 70's-early 80s and then put the hoby away until the internet and Missing Lynx came along and I became interested in accuracy in the way kits were made. The first major inaccuracy I learned about what the rear of the M5A1, and learned that the AFV Club kits provided the modeler with an accurate representation of their versions of the Stuart family. Since then I know Tamiya has vastly improved kits since the early 90s like the Panther, Tigers and Shermans, as well as retooling and making some kits that are old more accurate. What was and is a real joy is the way even the poorer representation kits fit together.

[@smc-2]

It was an interesting comment. Thank you.🍎

[@genghiskhan7041]

Are Tamiya tank models all the same scale?

[@smc-2]

Tamiya has tank models in scales such as 1/16, 1/35, and 1/48.🍦🍦🍦
