Good video!!! Built this kit numerous times in the 1990s when was getting back into modeling while battling alcoholism. There is a hobby shop in Indianapolis, IN, that specializes in these ancient Tamiya (and other brands) kits, but they do ask a pretty penny or two for them. I always try to visit that shop whenever am in the area and sometimes will talk myself into buying a kit or two, not that I really need them added to the stash.

Nice build. I always liked that kit. Wish it was repopped.

I built one or two of these when I was in Grade School and Junior High (that last one came in the square box with a vacuform diorama base.) I always liked the 'futuristic' look of this tank. As a matter of curiosity, what is the condition of the vinyl tracks? Sadly, I heard that Atlantis does not have the tooling for this one. Thanks for sharing! 5th Like.

I WANT THIS KIT !!!!! I liked building AURORA TANKS…. I have a few in the stash, and a few repops from other kit manufacturers I’ll watch this again You have my like ( always )…. VINTAGE MODEL ON……… CHRIS 🇺🇸

I used the 1966 Panther to make a Bergpather as it was rear drive leaving the front drivers area open for a driver’s compartment using a Tiger 1 for the control and radio area. And scratch built the winch box and rear spade and ran the control wires through the rear toolbox to a plug that could be attached for operation and unplugged for display. I won a Silver medal in my State contest.

I've been modelling since 1966-67, built this a number of times, F-4D version is the only survivor at present as I have a 'few' of my fave F-4 kit in the stash including an Airfix Craftmaster version. I know it's shortcomings and I'll do a couple "fully corrected" and some OOB. The model in this vid would be in my "to be repaired" box, easy fix or total rebuild, serious fun!!! Cool vid too!!

Very nice 😎welljell😭😭.

These are all beautiful kits that in many ways are ahead of their time. Your father (and you, yourself) have great taste in classic plastic. Thanks for sharing this with us! 14th Like.

It’s always FUN to look at kits Sometimes when I’m not really up to building ( Mojo isn’t there ) I just open up a storage container with some of my stash in it…. And I REDISCOVER WHAT I HAVE !!!!!!! Sometimes I forget what I have Get really SURPRISED at what I Find 😃 IT IS FUN !!!!!!!!!!! VINTAGE MODELS ON ….. CHRIS 🇺🇸

Awesome. Yes, Tamiya did make it confusing with their numbering system, and some even re-numbered. Add to it as you stated remote control. motorized. static. Nice to see those kits again. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Have seen these on sale at a local hobby shop in the KCMO area ad in the Indianapolis area. Crazy amount of money wanted for these kits. Nice to actually see one opened up!!

Gotta love the TAMIYA BOX ART I never built any 1/25 Remote Control Kits… They were out of my price range as a little kid…. BUT, I always looked at them when I went to the HOBBY STORE, and Department Stores ( K-Mart ) I bet they were fun to build and move around the ground… The big 1/16th kits are popular now THANKS VINTAGE MODELS ON……. CHRIS 🇺🇸

I have one but its missing parts, do you know where i could find any?

To build or not to build ..

This is the first 1/25 series model Tank I bought since 1969.

This is another kit I didn’t build… When I started building models 1970, I had to earn the money to purchase model kits This one was out of my price range… But, when I looked through the J.C. PENNIES CHRISTMAS CATALOG…. These kits were in there…. They were on my CHRISTMAS LIST…. BUT Santa Claus didn’t deliver 🤣😂😅…… TAMIYA makes some great kits I still build the old stuff…….. You have my like 👍 VINTAGE MODELS ON…. CHRIS 🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing a look at another Tamiya classic. Tamiya sure did have a strange number system for their armour kits. Tamiya art work back then was great. They new that box art sells kits.

Thank you for another review of a classic, Armor kit! These 1/25th scale Tamiya kits are well-detailed, feature individual track links, but suffer from a lack of accessories (though I did notice that in-scale Jerry Cans were provided) needed to build a diorama display. Thanks for sharing this with us! 9th Like.

I don't interesting to my country's saddest day(martrys day) but i interesting to this model kits

I like this model kits

My brother got me that kit in 1970 when he attended the BSA World Jamboree in Japan. Great memories.

I served on the Forrestal in 1967 westpac see this bird in my sleep!!

Don’t care if it’s BROKE , or missing pieces !!!!!!! I’m imagining what it looked like when your DAD finished it… BET IT LOOKED GREAT !!!!! VINTAGE MODEL ON ……. CHRIS 🇺🇸

Plastic card replacements for the elevators?

Always love the planes This one was very nice

I had the 1971 issue of this kit. It was better than the Revell offering, but not as good as the Hasegawa F-4E, which held the Top Dog position until the next generation of Phantom kits came along. Interestingly, when you said, ". . . this one has problems," I thought you were referring to profile or detail issues, (such as the missing side windows between the canopies.) Considering this build is over half a century old, it's not in too bad shape! 7th Like.

I remember building this kit from the MPC Profile Series using the “Sundowner” decals.

Also for those times it was very primitive, then they tried to sell it with new decals and versions. But it was only thanks to Fujimi 's Phantom family that we could have good models of this great fighter, also Monogram did a C/D and J version, under the label "Tour of Duty" in the late '80s, good kits, also if sometimes there were some mold errors.

So a little wear and tear. Almost 60 years old and still mostly intact. It is the memories it brings back that count. Probably 99% of the built models in this condition were assigned to the scrap bin. I wish I had kept some of my early models.

Hey how’s it going I don’t mean to post this for advertisement but I stumbled across your channel I’m a full-time painter and I was just given over 25 military model boxes as well as military aircraft model planes. If you were interested, please let me know all in great condition all from the 1970s to 1980s keep up the good work on your channel bro.

Nice comparison of the two kits. That Revell is a nice little kit and perfect for someone starting out building models. And it can be made into a excellent display model, as your father did with the kit.

Your dad is an excellent model builder, and both of these tanks were made into very fine, stand-alone display pieces. If I had the opportunity to build either vintage kit myself; I think I would choose the Revell 1/40th scale kit, since it has the extra (in scale) figures, and build it as a traditional 1970's Diorama in the "School of (Shep) Paine" on a plywood base with Celluclay groundwork and scratch built accessories. Unfortunately, the tracks would likely need to be replaced since it looks like they're literally falling apart from rot. Thanks for sharing this with us. 3rd Like.

This was cool 😎…. Look at the size difference SCALE…… Both look pretty good !!!!!!!!! Both would be just fine in a street fighting DIORAMA Vintage Models On ….. CHRIS 🇺🇸

Nice job !

Damm CHRIS 🇺🇸…. You stole my like 👍 MODEL ON……… CHRIS 🇺🇸

WHAT ????? I already seen this !!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU STILL HAVE MY LIKE 👍

Pity that in the 'nam it showed how flawed were either the main weapon and its armour, too vulnerable to mines, plus had a LOT of mechanical problems.The tank had a beautiful futuristic aspect, it's well detailed for such an old kit.

These two were the last versions build of this tank, the one with the short 7,5 cm. howitzer (the same on early PzIVs) was sold in some numbers also to Italy, to replace our losses in N: Africa, but seems that weren't operative 'till the armistice. Beautiful model, for its age was very detailed, and was anticipating the high quality of the future Tamiya's kits.

It was re-issued in late '70s without the engine , I build it in early '80s, with some Italeri's crewmen. Nevetherless its age, it was a good kit, useful for start a collection.

The US light tank wasn't never produced, sadly, 'cause someone in the congress wanted that the army should've build its anphibious tank, or so I read, ironically the PT76 wasn't able to resist to bullets heavier than .30. I didn't knew that these models existed, they seems interesting, pity that they were done in not standard scale, but could be useful for scratchbuild some sci-fi tank, as for WH40k.

Strange scale, perhaps it was more easy to place the engine and the RC unit.

The turret seems a bit narrow, more similar to that of later T34/76 models, Once, there were a lot of strange scales, also in the same brand, expecially for US' producers, such as Revell and Monogram .

Your father did an excellent build on this kit; especially the rust patina weathering. I also heard that same story about Soviet T-34's going straight from the factory to the front lines without the usual overall 4B0 green paint. Your dad really made the point with this build! Speaking of weathering; are you sure the "decal wear" actually IS 'wear,' or is it part of your dad's excellent weathering job on this masterpiece? Also, is it possible that the lack of spare track (and pioneering tools like shovel, hatchet, saw, etc.,) is part of the idea your dad wanted to get across for this project? This really does look like a tank that was driven straight from the factory to the front with the idea in mind that its 'career' on the battlefield would most likely be a short one . . . . Thanks for sharing! 7th Like.

Another excellent build. The rust colour actually looks a lot better than the Russian green. The model really stands out.

From 1/40 to 1/25 T-34 / 85 Another well made TAMIYA MODEL…… I think your father would really get into the 1/16 kits they’re making now …. Anyways, YOU HAVE MY LIKE 👍 VINTAGE MODELS ON CHRIS 🇺🇸
