Luv what you have done with the interior John. Superb attention to detail my friend

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you so much Steve! Appreciate you watching buddy. Great kit.

Hi John Fantastic piece of work mate! It’s amazing how much detail that they put into these kits w/interiors. I’ve got a RFM and various Border model Pz.Kpw.IV & Stug III kits that I’ve got to start on one day and they do look a bit daunting 😂 Thanks so much again for sharing your great work videos and I’m really looking forward to watching your next stage ❤😊

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Excellent Michael thank you very much. I've not yet built anything from those two but will at some point. Thanks for watching, appreciated.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi John, the Panzer IV is looking fantastic, and yes I like the new rotating stand, I have the Miniart T-55 with full interior and I have to admit it scares the living daylights out of me, I received it as a raffle prize, so for the cost of $8.00aus in tickets it owes me nothing, looking forward to your next video, best regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Les! I think taking it slow has helped knowing it's no rush. Was shocked myself I ended up with just 10 minutes. Cheers

[@scalemodelsnail]

Nice build John! Great video. 🐌

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Jess!!

[@littlehistory2392]

Looking absolutely stunning!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Terry! Appreciate you watching. Cheers

[@DutchDaveModels]

The hull builds up great. Your methodical way of building really pays off. Are you closing the compartment later on or make it an exploded build with all segments stacked so you can see all interior detail? Great stuff ✨👍✨

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya Dave - thank you so much. I'll be leaving as much open as possible, including a crane to have the turret off. Cheers!

[@MannsModelMoments]

Great build John, demondtrating great patience together with fabtastic skills....I'm almost tempted to try a Miniart kit mysrlf!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks Alex! Worth a look I've become fond of them. Thanks for watching, take care

Looking good John...keep on trucking!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you James, appreciate you watching.

[@kenjohnston8173]

I tried miniart tracks, they su ked, have avoided miniart ever since, but that was a year ago, maybe time to try another

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hi Ken - these went together better than average. There's a little jig for the tracks and the pins come on the sprue with the same spacing. I understand where you're coming from - I really don't like putting Dragon's tracks together. Cheers

[@RimsModels]

Great video my friend you are doing a fantastic job of the panzer the interior is looking amazing really like the engine the weathering is beautifully done really is going to be a show stopper when finished really looking forward to seeing more and thanks so much for sharing 😊😊

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you very much Rob! I appreciate it and you watching the video. Slowly working on episode 3. Take care buddy!
