The Next New Release from Andy's Hobby Headquarters

[@blainefrenette3520]

Andy what a great way to honour your grandfather. 👍👍

[@jimcavalier7092]

Holding out for the Andys HHQ 1/16 King Tiger with Zimmeritt.🤔🤞🤞🤞

[@sonicimperium]

There's a build of the first Sherman release in the newest issue of Tamiya Modelling Magazine. Painting and weathering is coming in the next issue.

[@Boehm92]

Since we’ve gotten all this WW2 armor in 1/16, we need some love with modern armor! A Leopard 2A6 would be so cool.

[@Vmssupplies]

Love me a nice Sherman, but in 1/16 it's double the fun! Amazing stuff, you made your grandpa proud no doubt!

[@josephbicknell6522]

Thank you for adding a figure! More please! How about tank riders as a kit?

[@raymond7880]

"Keep on runnin..." is what come to mind..😊

[@chugg535]

Thanks Andy ...another great kit, and video. Thank you. I really like the workable tracks, and the figure of your Grandfather. Also congratulations on having a build article of your first Sherman in the latest Tamiya Model Magazine!

[@shawnwilliams2338]

I am a long time 35th armor builder, been thinking about trying 1/16th...been looking at your original Sherman decided i was going to order it this weekend, well watched this video last night. So I got off work this morning got on line and bought the new Sherman and additional commander figure from the first kit and it was shipped 5 hrs later...That is why i buy so much of my kits and upgrades from Andy....Great work brother...really want to get the Das Werks Stug III when it comes back in stock..

[@ronaldwatson7360]

Lovely kit and to have your very brave grandad modelled into the kit is amazing ❤

[@haroldquill8761]

Whow, amazing, and your grandpa included. What an honour, looking forward to those next too releases, hope thay are Grants and Lee tanks.

[@bigdaddyhobbies]

Was hoping for something completely different and new. However I totally understand getting the maximum usage from the existing molds. I will support Andy and his venture. Love the new figure too. Ordered

[@Warshipmodelsunderway]

I love the fact that you are honoring your grandpa that way. It may be wishful thinking, but it would be logical for those next two kits to be a Lee and a Grant. One US, one UK, and not Shermans. Of course they could be a Pershing and a Matilda for all I know (and the Matilda would be crazy and great), but I feel pretty good about the guess. I'm looking forward to finding out!

[@michaelgallasch6472]

Matilda would be great! It's british and somehow the "mother of tiger 1" Churchill is too large

[@BoxxArt]

Please please not a pershing.

[@michaelgallasch6472]

@@BoxxArt and please no lee/grant.

[@garyparker2969]

A SCREAMING MIMI Would Be SPECTACULAR 🎯💯%

[@janmajer865]

Would love a full interior kit of this tank in 1/16 scale

[@KarlRhodesUK]

This!

[@steve1315]

Very nice Andy😎😎👍👍nice tribute to your grandfather thankyou for your service we need more people like him.

[@nigelcommon1144]

A really great kit, Just built and painted mine. Only one slight gripe the decals are a bit fragile so be gentle with them if you are tackling this one.

[@delcatto60]

Wonderful kit and a lovely way to honour your grandfather.

[@scale_model_apprentice]

Andy, all this is great. I'm gonna start saving some money so I can buy all of your 1/16 kits.

[@paoloviti6156]

I find it great that you were honouring your grand father together with with such a lovely "easy eight"! Looking forward for your new models 👍👍

[@TheFlatlander440]

Just placed my order for this Sherman M4A3E8. Looking forward to receiving it soon. Cheers!

[@leedobson]

With a beret added you could also use the figure for a Korean war British Royal Marine, they used full US uniform, kit and weapons

[@toboldlygosmodelworks1973]

what an amazing way to honour your grandfather - superb👍👍👍👍

[@ceithearnc4215]

Looks amazing Andy, another great kit and video, thank you. Plan is to swing through Phoenix area mid June, very excited about visiting your shop and stimulating the economy!

[@Smiff1066]

Great kit would like to see an Elfant in 1/16th or a Jagdpanther.

[@thehobbyshop5306]

Well crud, I would have waited for this one to have these added options......

[@trappenweisseguy27]

Fine job building the kit with excellent paint and weathering.

[@nathaniel2748]

Figure story is a nice touch. We'll done

[@seanconservativeburke]

Please do a 1/16 2 and half track with the four 50 cals . Thanks Andy .

[@garyparker2969]

THAT Would Be Nice 👍👍

[@donavanjenkins8873]

I wish there were 1/16 scale infantry kits for making dioramas with kits like this and the tiger

[@qcarr]

What a beautiful kit! Wow!!

[@stephenharrington528]

Andy great looking kit fantastic Steve

[@ChoppersModelworks]

One almost wonders if there is a market for a plastic turntable to display these larger kits. Thinking of the 1/16 armor and also the 1/32 aircraft like the many Wingnut Wings kits being built.

[@keithTCU]

Because of you, Andy, I’m getting back in the model building. I’m 64 years old. The last time I built a model Richard Nixon was president. I’ve ordered an airbrush compressor air brush that paints the whole 9 yards.

[@dgarvin53]

I was on the fence about ordering this kit, after seeing this video i'm putting in my order. Keep up the awesome reviews

[@tedr.]

How cool of a kit and a "Grand" figure as well!!!

[@rickgregory9616]

I'd liked to have seen how you painted and weather that! It's awesome!

[@adamhandy81]

Just watched the video and ordered that awesome tank! Thanks Andy!

[@raymondrosario9893]

Very impressive. I definitely am going to get the figure...not sure about the tank, but l won't say "no." Definitely interested in what is coming for the summer. Thanks again Andy

[@kennethglasco3861]

Can we get a 1/35 kit next year?

[@christosswc]

Happy for you man and love your enthusiasm!

[@lawtongore7053]

Any chance there's going to be a release of a M113??? That would certainly cover the Vietnam era Infantry vehicle's as well as the Cold award era...

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

That would be AWESOME with an interior.... The Command Version perhaps. Maybe a 1/16th Bradley with interior. 1/16 Hummer...😊

[@nielssrensen7268]

Hoping for a Matilda tank.. Or Crusader.. 😊

[@derekbaker3279]

A Matilda or Churchill would rock!

[@jasonhopelight6049]

I am from Taiwan. I envy all the hobby friends here in the States.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow, looks like a nice kit!!! 👍👍

[@htc4898]

Thank you !

[@PitstainHobbies]

Awesome way to restock and give some much requested options at the same time!

[@jamescharlton924]

Very nice indeed - I am going to pass on this one nice as having another shermie will be I have the original. Looking forward to the two new kits which are not Sherman’s. Tiger 1 is going well love the build I’m not a tiger 1 nut but it is a great kit and I’m really enjoying. I would love to see a King Tiger please. Cudos to Jason as well for the work he’s undertaken on this work

[@drhank2020]

i agree! how about a soft skin vehicle half track or truck?

[@jamescharlton924]

@@drhank2020 totally agree a nice Duce and a half from the red ball express

[@KHKH-os6kt]

It looks amazing, I will have to save up to get one.

[@eoyguy]

My wishful thinking is a Cromwell tank for a Brit subject.

[@bobbymccourt6794]

What a great tribute. What a killer option for Sherman lovers. I can’t tell you how much I love the 1/16th scale kits, especially mat 56 years old lol. Congrats on the new kit! Hopefully there’s a certain German kit coming in the future with a Jagd in its name 😉. Keep ‘em coming! BTW, my wife said stop! I don’t need anymore kits lol!

[@garfieldsmith332]

That is a common comment made by wives.

[@garylawless3608]

My wife looks at my kit collection and just shakes her head. It is now getting harder and harder to sneak new kits through the door. Never mind, my daughter gave me a badge that reads ‘I am the boss around here’ for my birthday, and I guess I’ll have to start wearing it just to take my wife’s attention away from my hobby. It may or may not be worth it - time will tell.

[@garfieldsmith332]

@@garylawless3608 I am lucky that I do not have to sneak kits in. My wife has built a couple and has a small stash of her own. She has her other hobbies so it works out between us. However she still say 'you do not need another model kit' from time to time.😊😊

[@the_lost_navigator]

You've got your Grandfather's nose... Respect

[@rustykilt]

Cannot understand why TAMIYA discontinued the ABRAMS 1/16 Full option RC Kit. This machine is so much in the headlines and a favourite of many armour fans.

[@BiohazardDingleberry]

I sure hope the next vehicles are lee and grant tanks!! Would make sense being a US and British afv.

[@allanenders5525]

Hey Andy, it would be Great if the new tracks were available to purchase, stand alone, as well as the figure! Thanks for the interesting kits!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

figure is available stand alone now

[@arnelflandez3260]

Gosh darnit! Now I have to purchase this kit as well! ❤

[@xjr13john]

Here we go again!!

[@davidpartlow6188]

Another Andy's awesomeness!

[@randomnickify]

Damn, that devil's face looks epic. I'm not a fan of shermans, but this one looks really nice. Also Andy, you should start doing the entire "banana for scale" thing. The moment you touched the model with your palm, I realized how big this thing is :D

[@djmelia9719]

Thanks Andy- I really wanted a Korean War version- Perfect

[@apostolosroulias8]

Still watching the vid, but wanted to comment on the track construction :) I recently designed the t80 and t84 tracks for a friend that was building your kit. It took me a couple of weeks and multiple prints to figure out how they connect and fit to your kit, I'm glad to see that my design is so similar to yours :) Even when we finally put them on the kit, I kept wondering if there was a better way. (edited to add the t84 type)

[@wernzjrkurt41]

Yes I would get those tracks, the tracks for the first one were a bear to put together and if you look at them wrong mine pop apart no matter what I do to them

[@actualpatrickfarrell]

Good Stuff as always Andy!

[@-donkey_696_]

Your the man Andy going to order this and the tiger in 1/16 ,you should get the order soon ,later today ,thanks Andy ,hope for more 1/16 kits

[@uranusimploding9830]

Thank you Andy ! .....just went on your site and ordered MINE 🤣 ...... I've gotten back into 1/18 scale in the last few months ( Armor, figures, trucks ) and this Easy Eight is a welcome addition to the collection ...... big 👍up ! 😁👍❤🇺🇸

[@randytaylor1258]

Outstanding!!!

[@SchmidtJim]

That’s is a fabulous pose for the figure!

[@ytwos1]

We need a GMC and Dodge Truck next!

[@mikeforney354]

I think 1/16th is so much better than 1/35th, et al. Just the heft, the detail, everything about that size kit is so much more appealing.

[@davidcole333]

It would be great if the aftermarket companies would come up with some metal track upgrades for your kits. I just finished building the first Sherman and it is going through paint right now. I went with the "OH NUTS" version with the mantlet in place. The kit built up so well, I had a great time working on it. The tracks on that kit were 462 pieces and if this new kit is more, that's a big undertaking. But it's the nature of the beast. Looking forward to getting the new kit.

[@waltkozlowski4169]

The next 2, maybe (Being from Takom) Lee and Grant but I like to see M24 Chaffee and A34 Comet!

[@robertlewis4978]

Hi Andy. this new kit is very cool! I hope the next kit will be A S.P.G.! we can not forget about Arty! just saying. So nice job keep making very cool models!

[@derekbaker3279]

I agree. Open top AFVs would be a ton of fun. e.g. for German armour, the Nashorn, Hummel, Wespe, Marder, etc. Also, a 2-in-1 kit that allows one to choose between the Priest & the Sexton would be amazing!

[@mattjohnson7369]

Nice! Already have the original release and I am not a Sherman super-fan (although those paint schemes from Korea are very tempting!). I am guessing a T-34, and another German tank as they are good money makers and in demand, but could be wrong :).

[@EPICSportsMoments4u]

Wait a second, you build these kits yourself???? Man I just found you, and I'm loving this

[@davidstone-haigh4880]

Amazing Andy!

[@richardbaxter2057]

I have to say, Andy that this looks epic! 👍🏻👍🏻 As we’re not going to get a British Sherman in the summer, I’m now kinda hoping that you’ll give us a high quality, M3 Stuart / Honey? 😜 The Honey was a well loved tank because it was reliable in operation and had a cool interior environment...apparently the radial engine drew air through the tank, which made it a comfortable, desert battle wagon...it’ll look absolutely ace in the “Caunter” camo lay out.....as will a Matilda of course.....😎🤪😂😂😂 Thanks, you’re setting the standard, Andy......👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@derekbaker3279]

A Matilda II or Churchill would rock!

[@Subzero2151]

Just wondering if the 1/16 Tiger can be bought ? i dont see it available no more on the EU website

[@bricatmaximus7789]

cool, now it’s time for a 1/16 Sturmtiger

[@fjdexx]

Looks very nice.

[@peterszar]

Looks like this baby can be motorized. I bought a Tamiya King Tiger probably in the late 90's, anyway it had a single motor and a crappy clutch system. Needless to say I bought a matching motor, and 2 Tamiya planetary gear kits for of course the drives, a Tamiya EMD unit and something else. Well it was fun re-engineering the model, problem was the 26 mile round trip to my favorite Hobby Shop, "Fields Hobby Center" Union Rd. Cheektowaga, NY.

[@blister762]

I'd like to see a M4A1(76)W. I'd like to do a In The Mood for Lafayette Poole.

[@scorpirus]

I wonder if that front paint scheme would be more durable if it were painted on with stencil

[@jjones552]

Not Sherman, maybe M 10 for commonality of drivetrain parts

[@mariuszo9425]

Thanks for this video. I start this model yesterday. I have question. Can we put white star decals on Winter wersion?? I plan bulid in half white paint missing.

[@PhotoFlight]

Andy, great looking kit. Was looking at the build up photos and noticed that the carrier film on the markings was basically non existent. Are these the type of decals that allow you to remove the carrier film once the decal is in place? BTW, beautiful tribute to your grandfather. Maybe, someday, 3D printing technology will be able to scan a photo and print out a figure of your choice.

[@tacfoley4443]

A 1/16th scale Centurion would be great to compete with the ultra-pricey Tamiya model.

[@treyzmodels422]

Great tribute Andy!

[@cesarortega802]

Great kit Andy. Are you going to sell the T80 as an optional accessory?

[@jefflee6711]

I would love an M60-A1 USMC tank with reactive armor and a mineplow in 1/16th scale so I could build my tank from Desert Storm.

[@legionwearemany9391]

Perhaps a 1/16 m26? Coming? Or a firefly?

[@stevengriffin7873]

Nice,but if the original sprues are still in there why not leave the tank commander figure sprue in too,

[@MikeyRumi180]

is the red face a decal?

[@DASCDUDE]

Love the kit!

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Andy, that is another excellent kit from your company, and I can see you going from strength to strength, how about a Isreali Super Sherman? Best regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@OverTorque_Racing]

Is there any way to upgrade the original Sherman kit with the addition parts / stickers that come with this kit? I purchased the original one just this week not knowing this was available.

[@stevesinclair4159]

Best Job I Ever Had

[@joemiserendino3161]

Great looking kit. May pass as I have the first Sherman and I'm simply running out of room. Looking forward to the next 2 though, hoping for a Lee and Grant for those. Wish list for future 1/16th - Panzer IV, Stuart, and something from WWI, maybe an A7V. Or a 1/16th scale armored car like the Lanchester or Rolls Royce.

[@derekbaker3279]

Yes, I would LOVE a 2-in-1 kit that allows one to build the Grant or Lee! 👍👍

[@JoseMartinez-ry1ro]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MGB-learning]

Great video!

[@tamedragon66]

When will you release something in 1/35 scale?

[@randomnickify]

You can buy virtually everything in 1/35 already, 1/16 scale is much less crowded, so it's easier to release product that actually will sell.

[@tamedragon66]

@@randomnickify I get that. My question is based on 2 points. First, I simply don't have room for anything that large. Second, as an extension of my 1st point, I would jump at any 1/35 scale AFV offered under Andy's brand.
