Great upload! Thoroughly enjoyed it, the tie lapse and the effort you put in to the kit, adding hop ups, paint work etc. was sensational!

Awesome mate, Great job. I bought a WW2 RTR Expert built in about October last year, it's still in the box ha ha. I might finally get it out tomorrow, I just love how it's brand new (0:

[@tgreenm]

Haha, you're right my friend, it so nice to see all clean on the shelve but also so fun to run it. Another friend said the pain of dirtying it will go away after a few crahes... Thanks for watching, waiting for your WW2 video. :-)

[@JaxTellerRC]

The Green Man Yeah ha ha, your friend is right!

[@Clickbaiters]

Bravo sir! Very well done!! It's awesome Tamiya still makes these kits. Love the paint work. Can I ask: I noticed you didn't let the upgrade shocks air out the bubbles, any reason why? Or maybe that was just the editing? Either way not a huge deal on a kit like this that will probably just be used indoors.

[@tgreenm]

Thanks thanks, I pumped a bit to release some air before capping it, but yeah not shown on the video, although I tot it won't really make a big diff. But compare to the original plastic dampers, it's far much better. I'll run it outdoor too, but most likely with loving care, haha. :-)

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi Green Man. Great job ! Can I ask what paint code you used for the main body. Tamiya have 3 (TS-5, TS-28, TS-70 and maybe more) different olive drab spray cans. Yours looks like a good colour but I can't see what code is on the tin. Many thanks :-)

[@tgreenm]

Thanks thanks, i used TS-43 racing green, but I can't find primer from local shop so decided to directly spray it without primer... :-D

[@PeteWylieRC]

The Green Man Ok thanks for the info. I haven't got any hobby shops nearby and it's difficult to see the colours properly when ordering on the Internet. I'll probably use the same one as you but I just can't quite decide.

[@Mad-RCandHOBBY]

pretty cool =)

[@tgreenm]

Thanks thanks. :-)

[@kazacorpora]

funny rc , i sub

[@tgreenm]

Thanks thanks, you have a great channel there. :-)

[@supertenchung2413]

no need airbrush for the paintwork??

[@tgreenm]

Thanks, I think will be easier with airbrush and nicer. :D

[@goldenmanuever1176]

ouch no primer???

[@tgreenm]

Hi, yes no primer, an attempt to save a can of spray, so far it's holding...

[@goldenmanuever1176]

with the hand brush painting, how many coats did you need to do? more than one??

[@tgreenm]

Hi thanks, I normally do at least 3 coats. :-D

[@goldenmanuever1176]

VERY nice. You have nice modeling skill! I always find the Tamiya acrylic to be too thick with out thinning at a ratio of 50% paint and 50% thinner (for brush work). Are you using straight out of the bottle?
