Howdy Maniacs, hope you are all continuing to do well despite the circumstances we are still facing. This video is going to be Part one of a two video series where I build a Tamiya M1A2 SEP TUSK II model tank kit in 1/35th scale. I built enough 1/72 scale kits in my past videos so I felt as though its high time that I put a big kit together for you all to enjoy. The one issue with 1/35th scale kits, is that they are pretty difficult to video in one go because of the size and often complexity involved. So I am going to take a different approach from now on. Big kits, more videos, which means shorter length. The Tamiya M1A2 SEP TUSK II will be the first armor kit I do this way, and all future builds will follow this format. Let me know what you think in the comments below. I figure more regular content is better than bi, or tri-weekly releases.
I really love the Abrams tank, one of my favorites in the Main Battle Tank category but not because I am an American. I truly believe it is the BEST MBT currently in use by any country. Future improvements will continue to keep this vehicle on the field well in the years to come. The SEP TUSK II was one variant which helped to protect tank crews from urban warfare seen in middle east combat.

Glad I found this channel. You deserve more views
Hello mr. J!i hope Your carpetmonster does not feast on you and dies of starvation.there is everything fine with your video.i can not complain. With sticky greetings. Your fellow modellmate.christian
Hey man, your preaching to the choir! Yes, filming and modelling is definitely harder than it looks and super time-consuming. I really wish everyone could step inside our world and see how challenging it really is. I do enjoy the whole process despite this. Yes, it's the tiniest violin playing the world's saddest song... right.? LOL!
Yep, agreed!
You need way more subscribers! At least 100,000. Amazing videos!
Top quality content right here. That tow bar? LMMFAO. You mean you don't enjoying feeling like you too are a 1/35 scale Abrams tanker?? Next they will give you track pins and broken links you have to repair with in-scale cable and chain for the install. RIP glue bottle. #respect
@@JBookieScaleModels Step 6: Substep 4e: Load one round into the provided 1/35 scale AK-47 to test the effectiveness of the ballistic glass you just cut and installed into the viewport. 🍻
Nice 👍
Nice man. Looks pretty straightforward. Looking forward to the painting.
Looks great bro, thanks for the video. I'll assembly the same model this weekend
Great video my friend looks really well detailed 👍👍
Nice one dude must give it a try Glen 🏴
3:59 Its hard to figure Tamiya's logic here. They give you nice pre cut glass for the turret but force you to cut out the hull glass with a micro template. They don't even include the std anti skid on the kit. As a Tamiya fan I think they fell short here. Nice results though on the kit!
I really want to get this kit but that part is a super turn off for me. Bless there's someone out there who sells the separately moulded to shape/size
Hope u get to 1k subs😎
LOL... you're the Barry White of model building! What year did this kit come out, is it a new mould?
What year is stamped on the spruce trees?
I love the Abrams and have the same kit in my stash, but because it's Tamyia that's the only reason I'm not building it and away to order RFMs or mengs and the Breach assault defense system version that's just cool as heck!
Yeah RFM is miles ahead of tamyas Leopard 2a6 and M1 Abrams
LOL....I like it
I have suffered the bustle rack mesh cut when I build this , please make a tutorial how to cut a perfect mesh to a tank bustle rack , Thanks !
I just get this model, I'm so freaking new into to this world so..I truly liked your video, it is dinamic, didactic and easy to follow (remember, I'm a newbie). So, do you have any other video with your assembling thechniques? Like polish, glueing or even cutting? Thank you so much in advance!
@@JBookieScaleModels Thank you chief!!
@3:59, can you just cut a large rectangle piece that fits across the whole part instead of cutting individual pieces out?
Unfortunately no, inner portion of drivers viewports is shaped oddly and there's no way to bend the glass the right way.
7:06 XD
Is it possible for the Abrams to have the CSAMM and CROWS at the same time? I can't find a single pic with that combination :/
No clue, but the kit called for it that way so that's how it was put together.
I have not spilled the glue out like that but I dread the time when it comes ... :(
@@JBookieScaleModels I think that most issues can be resolved... its more a matter of how time consuming it is.
I built a strv 122 (Swedish modified Leopard 2) and I had to cut out the glass for the periscopes in a similar matter. But they where at least pre-marked on the plastic. Still manage to get a scratch on one of them. Quite annoying....
@@JBookieScaleModels I both one Hobby Boss kit of the strv 122. I'm going to by a couple more. But they are not that expensive around 20 $ So the quality is not the same as for example Tamiya. I would not mind if MENG/Tamiya/RFM came out with one. I would by it. But I think there are conversation kits from regular German Leopard 2 that you could use as well. So I guess you can't complain to much for the price but its still a bit annoying. Both the hull and the turret are license built in Sweden. But there are some cool concept tanks that where never build. Maybe if the cold war would have continued in the nineties perhaps we would engineered and built more of our own tanks in Sweden as for instants the strv 103 aka S-vagnen. Strv 141 mammoth is a cool concept that never was.
@@JBookieScaleModels Yeah I don't think that Russia is a great threat for the rest of Europe. And that is not even taking the USA to account in NATO. But thinks have changed a bit since Russia's intervention in Syria and annexation of Crimea/Krim and intervention in Eastern Ukraine. But Russia is in no way a new USSR with large standing armies ready to cross the border in to west Germany... buy any way enough geopolitics for now... I purchase several T-14 Armata kits from Revell. The first was quite expensive around 60 $/€ but they had a Huge discount on the kit on modellbau-koenig.de so I purchased four more kits... ;) I also have a T-15 TBMP from Panda Hobby and a Kurganets-25 and Bumerang IFV, both also from Panda Hobby. I'm also thinking of buying some of the newer kits from Zvezda. I have seen that Zvezda kits are really good and for the price there is nothing like it out there. You have to put out 15-20 $ more for the same quality form other brands. I think that Cold war Sovjet/Russian armor as well as modern are really my thing.
@@JBookieScaleModels ... maybe if you are buying Zvezda model kits you are secretly helping the Russians to by more T-14 tanks? =) (I guess there are some once of truth of it as Zvezda is a Russian company and they have to pay tax in Russia) Its 1/35 of T-14 Armata has 410 parts... quite a lot. But the tracks are not that painful as they are in sections and not one part for each track part. I think that European armor as well as North American are also good. But I guess that Russians are a bit more cool as its the "enemies" armor ... and you can not have that as easy. But then again I would not be surprised if sometime in the future the T-14 Armata will get exported. But not with the same equipment as for the Russian domestic variant. Like the M1s that Iraq are using is without the depleted uranium armor if I remember correctly. The French Leclerc is a bit unique as it has a automatic loading system. I know no other tank from that period in the west that has an automatic loading system for a 120 mm gun. Russians as being using it sins the 60ties starting with there T-64 IIRC. Most of west are still not there with automatic loading yet...
Doesn't get much thiccer than that Tusk II 😮
I looked for this version of the tamiya M1A2 tank model for long , I just can't find a website that sales it , please give me the link of the website where you bought this or give me the location of where you bought it , thank you.
Oh, you are so lucky! Thanks for giving me the websites, I will look for it later
like the commentary but not too keen on the music
The music keeps me from subbing but good visuals nonetheless.
Sorry, old videos. I started using much lighter music in the background.
