please use a toothpick or even a piece of cardboard shaped into an acute triangle to apply the glue. a few drops of glue on a piece of laminated cardboard paper from a newspaper cover and then you can apply the glue evenly with a toothpick and not too much so that it doesn't flow out after fitting the parts.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will keep this in mind if i ever do another starter kit challenge

[@tobyboi2701]

Hah. I also have made this kit😅 And great vid as always😊 Edit- I don’t really think using super glue would have been cheating. Most homes might already have just a teeny tiny bit

[@dreamzzscalemodelling]

Thank you very much. I think so too. Some things that are widely available are probably alright

[@michaelpotter4425]

As the instructions said use super glue then thats not cheating great vid as normal thank you

[@dreamzzscalemodelling]

Thanks. I agree. Maybe I add super glue to the allowed additions if i ever make another starter kit

[@user-zw7gp8xb8f]

👍

[@Aradebil]

Nice video. But i think you could easly include tools that every household has: CA superglue, cotton swabs, cocktail sticks :)

[@dreamzzscalemodelling]

Thanks! Thats a great idea, like how someone could build a model kit if they just started and dont have any special tools.

I'm working on my first scale model. Didn't invest money to buy an air brush jet, so I ended up with standard brush. Could you explain why you've added some water to the paint? I suspect that's the way how to minimalize brush texture on a surface? Btw. Great video as a amateur get a lot of useful things out of it. Keep doing well.

[@dreamzzscalemodelling]

Thank you. Yes I added water to minimize brush texture. This makes it easier for the surface to level itself out because the paint is thinner. Just like how a water pool has a flat surface because water levels itself out. I hope you could understand what I mean

[@michamicha2723]

@@dreamzzscalemodelling Yes, I get it. I need to give it a try then. Thanks for response :)

Hi. I think that you need to take a closer look at the wheels. The spokes on the wheels should face outwards. The kit is not a bad model but you need to look at the instructions more closely.

[@dreamzzscalemodelling]

Yep they are in the wrong way. I am not used to tanks in that scale so i did not notice at the time. But thanks for pointing it out.
