Tamiya Panzer 1 Ausf B new plastic model kit

[@rszanger]

Tamiya's new release is always so exciting. And can't go wrong with Tamiya kits.

[@corrioliseffect]

Just purchased this kit at my local hobby shop yesterday! 😎

[@RTbuilding]

These make for great weekend builds. Btw, I love it when you do videos like this....sorely missed.🎉🎉🎉🎉 Just like getting a B12 shot, Andy.

[@donfrandsen7778]

Keep those 1/35th scale videos coming

[@RTbuilding]

This is like getting a dose of vintage AHHQ. 😊

[@ImaginaShip]

I can’t wait to buy this and display it in my stash next to my unbuilt 38(t) and Pz2!

[@tonyromano6220]

😂😂😂😂 2/3ds built shelfers.

[@tonyromano6220]

I love the newer Tamiya kits! Everything is top quality, keyed, very well designed.

[@lenny24445]

Thanks for the great video Andy!!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Looks like a nice kit, definitely will be getting one.

[@powersmodelgarage]

I don’t know much about tanks but I really do enjoy building Tamiya tank kits. Looking forward to this one.

[@od1452]

Nice kit. Like to see Tamiya do the Grosstraktor and STZ T 34.

[@hellsfirefreedomtube6984]

3:12 This is awesome with the tracks. I’m working on a 1/35 scale Panzer 2 and I’m having to glue one by one individual track pieces together to make the whole track. Bit of a tedious process to do

[@TheSeanBampton]

I'm heading to Japan in Feb, so hoping to pick up one of these at the shop. Looks like a fun weekender.

[@Rpantherluzero]

Looks beautiful, Andy

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Many thanks!

[@briansmith8079]

Over 20 years. Wow!

[@ChieftainFan]

Looking good, interesting beginning

[@amartinjoe]

that is beautiful. thanks for posting!

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Andy, this looks to beca really great little kit, would li,e to see it parked next to either a Panther or Tiger, looking forward to your build video, best regards from Australia, Les

[@arandomfawn5289]

Finally TAMIYA remembered that panzer I exists

[@anaetachandler8699]

This is a retooling. Which is very awesome, detailing is awesome and if it goes together like it's predecessor. And the extras are awesome.... I built it's predecessor in the early 80s

[@arandomfawn5289]

@ really? Which retooling? Like from what company?

[@ambravirlebreton]

Nice little kit

[@MayhemGames]

Jeez Andy, I just pre-ordered the Panther!

[@PomyPie]

Tankettes naver get enough love from our community

[@brandonrush3269]

I've been wanting to do a Pz I...I'd love to see it compared to the Takom before I pull the trigger on one!

[@andreasbeyer9826]

Hi Andy, got one on my desk and look forward to do a comparison between all the new once - Academy - Tamiya - Takom - Dragon... Anyway it's important not to fall into the narrative of the training tank story. Jentz has written a lot about this. And its a common mistake as during the planning the first series (A Type) was build without the turret and therefore upper armour to be used as driving school chassis. To remark Germany was not allowed to have tanks after WW I and all what was done had to be top secret. Looking at tanks of the same time you have the AMR-33, the Lloyd Light Tanks, the CV-33 and so on. Nothing like the B1 already developed in mass production. Looking at the numbers produced of the A and B version it was a massive production for a country that only started to build tanks. For the German Army it was the decision to build fast a tank force and not to wait for funds in a not certain future. Panzer I was regarded totally as a capable battle tank, when it was developed. Cheers from Germany

[@donfrandsen7778]

Go Andy go!!! Build Andy !!

[@joeshmoe9978]

Looks good 🏅

[@hansdijkstra5814]

you got 1:15 min of black in the beginning

it's NATO black :p

Makes me truly realise how long 1:15 feels

Why did they change from rubber flexible tracks to stationary plastic tracks?

[@briansmith8079]

Do you build and stock 1/72 armor? I've become a big fan of late.

[@strontiumstargazer5096]

I read that at the end of the war that Germany changed the white pained cross to a red paint cross realising the white cross made a super target point for the allies. Further info welcome.

[@DASCDUDE]

Nice subject

[@cocobill2222]

Tks Andy,l hope tamiya do F 18 in 1/48 scale

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

I am curious Andy how does this new tooled release stack up with the Takom two in one box of the Panzer I?

[@mrains100]

My Tamiya Panzer 1 is in the mail.

[@kevinr.landmesser2082]

So when was the 2 color (gray & brown) paint scheme used? Academy is showing 4th Panzer using it; Tamiya 4th Panzer isn’t-just all gray.

[@jamesbednar8625]

Depending on sources, the brown camo was used on most Panzer 1Bs during the Polish campaign, though have photos of some in all gray - depends on unit. Also, have photos of green/brown camo applied to the gray as well.

[@huwtindall7096]

I believe right up until the end of France campaign the grey brown scheme was in place

[@THX11458]

Hopefully they'll come out with a Panzerjager-I B sometime in the near future.

[@MikeFrady]

Any news about the 113???

[@Hori_Ado]

Please, do the both Takom and Tamiya kits so we can compare them together. I'm going to buy Pz I but can't decide yet which brand to choose. I guess there is more modellers with the same dilemma.

[@flitsertheo]

Add the Italeri kit too because I don't see much of an improvement with this Tamiya kit.

[@toboldlygosmodelworks1973]

Spoilers ,it does build up nicely as I got it a few weeks ago across the pond.

[@mirrorblue100]

Nice as this kit - the Academy Panzer I is nicer and comes with a motorcycle. Academy's new tool Panzer III and Panzer II are tight and impressive.

[@letoubib21]

_The Panzer I B was used at least till the end of 1941_ *. . .*

[@tonyromano6220]

Longer if one counts rebuild chassis as TDs and such.

[@ytwos1]

It’s not simplified at all. It contains all the detail the 16th scale Takom offering does. Just wow. Everything to scale, extremely buildable the way they engineered it. Typical exquisite Tamiya.

[@guidor.4161]

Wonder why they come out with one after Takom did recently?

[@letoubib21]

_Academy has a new Panzer I B, too_ *. . .*

[@joeshmoe9978]

Because Tamiya is not making money on Takom's version 💰

[@flitsertheo]

For a model company a model doesn't exist until they make it themselves. That is the philosophy causing the many doubles and triples on the market.

[@letoubib21]

@@flitsertheo _Well, a little choice doesn't hurt, does it?_

[@flitsertheo]

@@letoubib21 Problem is that effort could be spent on developing a model that no company has ever made before.

[@terryvallis1436]

Andy, does anyone do a 1/16 scale Panzer I A?

[@arandomfawn5289]

I believe takom does both panzer I A and B, I see them floating on eBay on occasion

[@Based_Lord_Humongous]

Oh thank God it's not another Tiger I

Wow already sold out WHY???

Great price, probably.

[@Boyer316]

Why does the tank commander look so huge?

[@huwtindall7096]

because the tank is actually very small!

[@orpazohayon3615]

It’s looking very small for 1/35 scale

[@randomnickify]

Its a small tank, more like tankette.

[@donfrandsen7778]

Cool video Andy Thank you, keep em coming . For over a minute at the begining you have a blank video all black FYI

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thanks I will check it out.

[@jeffreyhansen2806]

Stretched because they put a bigger engine in it.

[@scottiehinkson6196]

Doesn't make any sense to REP a kit and not have any in stock....

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

They sold out but more will be back in stock in a few days.
