Trumpeter has improved immensely in past few years, so Id say you are safe with any modern kit from trumpeter/hobbyboss except for few.

João Gabriel Have you checked out the Zvezda kits ? Cheap and some are snap kits (good for starter) Revell are medium to very hard Modelcollect are avg to incredibly hard ,depending on kit (outstanding PE parts) Zvezda : eh , somegreat plane kits ,T-90/BMPT are a must in 1:72/1:35 Italeri have amazing kits with glue/paints included and starter kits Dragon : Zvezda/Trumpeter hybrid Listed all manufacturers i know of,and 6 months of searches

I can confirm the track "excitement" with plastic glue. I found super glue worked really well however. Glue the tracks together, let them dry and carefully stretch it over the wheels. to easy. I really like the idea you had to stick them to the top of the road wheels and will try that next.

Great video Herbert, and a nice little model T34. I have built a few 1/72 scale tanks including the T34, but never a Trumpeter one and so was quite impressed with it. Many thanks for sharing your build, Joe

I have recently Bulit the Trumpeter 1/72 Jagdtiger and one tip for the rubber tracks is that I stapled the tracks and painting it with the same color as the tracks to cover it. ;)

Just a tip - I'm currently putting together a 1/35 Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf.D. The molds for it where made in the 70's.. So yeah - there have been some serious trials with fit and accuracy. The thing I was wanting to point out was the gap between lower and upper hulls, my tank had this. BAD. The best way I've found to deal with it is to use plasticard. Cut out an insert in some relatively thin plasticard - it has to be thick enough to stand up to sanding, but thin enough to not give you more fitting headaches, then fill and smooth with modelling putty - then the usual sanding until flush and smooth. Whilst it's not too big a deal on the model you've been working on, it's something to keep in mind for future ones maybe if it's going to be visible.
@HerbertErpaderp8 жыл бұрын
This is a pretty good tip. I probably would have just gone with putty, but I guess using plasticard might give it a bit more strength.

I just saw some Trumpeter models the other day for the first time. After seeing this vid, I'm definitely keeping them in mind.I recommend Tamiya's M2 Bradley. That is, if you like interior detail and modern stuff. It's pretty cool though.Awesome build btw! I love what you did with making the tracks actually look like gravity is affecting them. I'm with you, I don't like rubber tracks.
@HerbertErpaderp8 жыл бұрын
I don't generally enjoy the more modern stuff as much as world war 2 era, but a lot of it is still cool and it's good to work on just as something different. I will have to keep that kit in mind.

Trumpeters M1 Abrams in various versions are okay (but with rubbery tracks). They can be perfected with some photo etch or home built parts.

Herbert, I just checked the figures but I'm not a know-it-all. I also kinda suck at math but here goes. A quick Google search revealed that, according to the 'Tank Encyclopedia' the 1944 T-34/85 had the following dimensions: L(+gun)= 8.15m, L(chassis)=5.12m, W=3.0m, H=2.6m. Both kits seem to have been measuring by chassis+gun dimensions so I went with that alone and got this; 1/48th scale direct: L(+gun)= 169.79mm, L(-gun)= 106.66mm, W= 62.5mm, H= 54.1mm 1/72nd scale direct: L(+gun)= 113.19mm, L(-gun)= 71.11mm, W=41.66mm, H= 36.11mm If you allow for a little fudging for the rear fuel tanks or mastering (ie carving/creating) originals, that means BOTH kits are actually closest to 1/48th scale. Please, check yourself (any viewers too btw) and tell me if something is wrong with my conversions. One thing I'm pretty sure of is that the same model vehicle in 2 purportedly different scales cannot have the same dimensions. Love to hear back on what you find when you put them side by side, if you still can, or someone else who reads this and happens to have both kits. maybe you should give Trumpeter a call??

I built a 1/72 Jagdpanther by trumpeter once, i like it a lot! this T-34 looks good in my opinion. too bad about the handrails though.. Also, Will you do more 1/72 in the future.. if the anwser is yes, i suggest checking out Revell tanks.. most of the 1/72 ones (for example the Tiger) have plastic tracks which are tricky but look nice!
@HerbertErpaderp8 жыл бұрын
I won't be doing as much 1/72 as other stuff, but it seems a good size for random tanks. I will keep an eye out for some revell tanks. In the two local hobby shops I see tons of their plane kits, but almost no tanks, I'll have to keep an eye out or go online.

Having built the Dragon 1/72 StuG III Early Production, I have to say, it's far superiour to anything I've seen in that scale so far, any chance you might be looking to review/built a Dragon 1/72 scale model?
@HerbertErpaderp8 жыл бұрын
I won't rule it out, I'm not sure I've seen any dragon models in 1:72 scale at the hobby shop. Almost all my scale model kits are impulse purchases from the hobby shop, I will keep an eye out for them though. I do have a dragon 1:35 scale kit. It's a firefly of some variety, I'll eventually build that.

I was thinking about getting the Trumpeter Tiger I. I do quite like Trumpeter except sometimes the production quality of the parts can be a bit worrying. I got the 1/35 US Marines in Iraq 2003 by Trumpeter and the plastic was so hard that it snapped the blade on my Xacto knife.

That sounds like some amazingly hard plastic. It might even be harder than the plastic the very early plastic Battlefront tanks were made from. The StuGs and Shermans from one of their box sets were really hard plastic.

Thanks! I figured it would be nicer to have some colourful thumbs. Think I might do some kind of colour coding with them. That really sucks about the broken parts.
