The Box Opening • My Next Tank Build - M...
I already have a few things I need to correct between now and the next episode. I'll point those out at the beginning of the next one. Thanks to ‪@JETScaleModels‬ for his expertise in helping to identify some. And to ‪@RimsModels‬ for help. I have gone (for the most part) by the instructions with color callout.

Hi John, lovely video buddy. Chipping is really good. Can you tell me, what is VMS universal carrier?
