SUPER EASY Painting and Weathering Procedures for Modern US Armor Tamiya M1A2 Abrams Tusk II

[@SunDevil31]

Great build and paint. I just saw a vid a dude did a Humvee and sand blasted and weathered it. Unbelievably good tan weathering.

[@adamjohnson6642]

Great work JB, I really enjoyed the video build and paint information. Will certainly look out for further videos. Thank you so much and best wishes, Adam - United Kingdom. 🇬🇧 😊

[@JBookieScaleModels]

Thank you, Adam. I hope to one day return to video creation but my current life situation is way way too busy. I miss making content though, so we will see.

I don’t have an airbrush is that ok?

[@leratnoirbazan9313]

Great video. Very interesting and clear. I appreciate all the little tips. I'm planning to paint my Abrams from Tamiya very soon and this video is very helpful. Best regards from France. François 😊

You have a very very steady hand dude painting the road wheel rims. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great Video,thanks. What low luster varnish did you use?

[@tatankaiyotanka1]

Nice build and really helpful hints, this is my next build

[@hugornne3556]

Awsome.. Well done mate. I`m midways into the same build at the moment,so i`ll try some of your tecniique’s myself when i get there. Thanks a lot.

[@JBookieScaleModels]

Great kit, lot of pieces though haha

[@WCStudiosGaming]

great work mate. you earned my sub.

[@JBookieScaleModels]

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks!

[@haroldmalaguti9073]

Have you tried a black Sharpie

[@Emtbtoday]

Should try chrome silver behind the vision blocks for the reflective pannal simulation instead of the kit plastic you can see! I made that mistake before

[@devgilmore6776]

This dude gets it! Great vid!

[@JBookieScaleModels]

Thanks boss, wish I could get the time and energy to make more vids lol

Your edits are getting better and the sub button will really help bring on new subs. 👌

[@glensmith3379]

Just stumbled over your channel and liked a lot what I've seen so far. Like your building methods, your tips and that slightly wacky sense of humour . Q. How long would you suggest leaving a pin was before thiner cleanup, Look forward to more of your great videos. Glen, Aberdeenshire Scotland.

Thanks for the great advice...Sounds like we are on the same page as child modellers returning to a great hobby....love your work, can't wait for the next instalment...Be safe and keep your family safe man....@@JBookieScaleModels

[@globaldefencepride6626]

This damn BG music is excruciating.... everything else is exceptional. Your model making is definitely fun and worthy of praise but this......music

[@coletoliver3977]

What is a varnish you should use for modern German armor, building a leopard 2A7

[@JBookieScaleModels]

Depend on the look you are going for….realistic, probably flatter like a matte. I tend to like the semi glosses myself m, best of both worlds. Try some Vallejo varnishes, im a big fan.

[@ap7655]

I'm new to model building. Did you have any trouble gluing parts together after you painted them? Or did you remove paint where the joined together?

[@JBookieScaleModels]

Welcome to the most frustrating / expensive hobby in the world. I don’t have issues gluing painted parts, just use a tiny bit of super glue and ensure the pieces bond properly.

[@glensmith3379]

May I make a suggestion for a future build Hobby Boss AAVP7A1 troop landing craft. A great value kit (under £30 English) has an interior and looks pretty awesome. Have it in my stash but not brave enough to try it but think you would make a great job on this. Downside there are 98 parts that make up the tracks!!! Glen Aberdeenshire Scotland.

[@glensmith3379]

Hi Jason, Tamiya does a version, the US AAVP7A1 WUGWS. Its a good model but with no interior. Glen@@JBookieScaleModels

[@melvinjohnson7033]

Very nice video as always! Had you considered using time saving paint masks for the wheels such as from Pmask #Pw35029? They are specific to the Tamiya kit you built and available on ebay.

[@jamalshepherd243]

I realize I am pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?

[@brycedash2177]

@Jamal Shepherd I use Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@samuelriley5942]

How good are the original colors of the kit? Obviously i will be painting the MGs and tires and such, but overall the main color for large surfaces is my concern, as I do not have an airbrush.

[@samuelriley5942]

@@JBookieScaleModels I have already ordered a couple bottles of Tamiya's Light Sand color, is that good for a base coat?

[@samuelriley5942]

@@JBookieScaleModels Sweet. Just tryin to make sure, as I am colorblind and the difference would be much more stark to others than it would be to me lol
