My friend owns the model shop round from my house he got a load of these old tamiya kits in from some private auction all still sealed from an attic the previous Modeller had passed away so there on on sale for £15 each as long as they get built! I think that's very fair and a great way to carry on the modeller's memory I picked up the panzer 4 Ausf D that was £10 but will definitely build it!
This is amazing. I'm gonna use this technique for my king tiger. It's annoying seeing tutorials on RUclips where they use like 8 different washes and pigments
Great result. This is a quick easy build kit and a cheap buy. The hooks on the turret top edge - I’ve been searching Pinterest for a real example with these hooks and can’t find one. I’m building this kit now and will need to decide whether to remove the hooks and putty the holes. I like your paint job. Sometimes the krauts simply painted over the hull equipment and spare tracks when they painted the hull camo - I’ll probably copy your example and have the equipment painted without camo.
Your video is by far the best video for this kit on RUclips and your model is also the best on Tamiya´s Panther Ausf. A I`ve seen. Realy cool. Keep it up!!
By the way, for the newbies out there. The Bovington museum tank is a Panther G (late version). The Tamiya model that scalemodelling76 is building is a Panther A (mid version). This is the first tank I ever built (not as cool as yours though)
+Trai Khg The Bovington tank is a bit of a 'maverick'. It was built just after the war by the factory workers, but under British army supervision. The British were interested in how the Panther was produced, so they had about five built.The chassis was to Panther G standard but the turret was a type A one that must have just been lying around in the factory. The odd camouflage scheme applied is said to be because not much Dark yellow paint was available, so they applied what they had in stripes.. over the red primer.
Beautiful Panzer V... :) :) I hope to get one built in 1/72 later this year, but at the moment I'm busy building Fw 190's and other Luftwaffe aircraft, and will do so for another couple of months I think,.. :)
I know his is an older video, but I wanted to comment on your use of a mix of rubber and metal wheels, cool idea and it looks great. I think I will have to do the same on one of my upcoming AFVs. ; ]
3:00 YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, Seriously you used a song from the EPIC game Sudden Strike (The original first game from the 90's) Fuck yes dude, i love that song so much time playing that game when i was young, commanding armies of all sides to fight in awesome battles. Dude really nice that you put that song in there mate blew my mind !! awesome video man ;D
***** History on that specific Panther tank: It was incomplete at the factory at the end of the war, so when the Allies captured the factory, they ordered the workers to complete it using anything lying around, thats why it has the chassis of a late Panther, but the turret of an early model. Apparently, that camo is the basic base dark red colour from the factory, with a hastily added camo pattern from left over paints I heard this from a guy that went to the Tank Museum and got the premium tour, so he was given talks by the museum owners about this, so I presume he knows what he's on about Hope this didn't sound condescending, just me sharing some info! :) So no, it isn't a standard paint job
Not at all professor it is good to have additional info on the subject although sometimes museum guides tend to improvise on their stories to make them more attractive to attendands, who knows that's history, cheers!
Thank you, as for the wash I'm not sure how you could make it because I bought it from a local model shop. Sorry I couldn't help but I use oil washes now which aren't to expensive and give you the same results you could do some research on them ! Thanks again !
Thanks for this video, building this as my first AFV Scale Model. Enjoyed building and painting it so far apart from the tracks ! How did you join and attach yours ?
+Stephen Sanders no problem, glad you like my video. As for the tracks I think I heated up a flat head screwdriver and melted the pins down like the instructions suggest and then I just put a bit of superglue over the pins. Hope that helps !
I also had that kind of tamiya-kit. But I was disappointed because of the missing hull-part overneath of the tracks and under the aslant side-fronts. There is simply a big opening remaining after having fully acomplished the tank.
Well the rear idler wheel is off the tank, I assume because he couldn't get it on after gluing the rubber band track. No reason to be rude. Where's your work? Let's go critique.
Hi there great vid,do you have a gap between the top half and lower half of the chassis ? Sort of just above the top of the tracks.when I mate my top and bottom half the chassis together there is a gap in between,it won’t be seen but I was wondering if this was normal
+Topi Salminen hello, no it's plastic cement it's glue for plastic model kits it welds the plastic together for a really strong fit . The exact glue is 'Tamiya extra thin cement' but you can get it from other model companies too ! Hope this helped !
It is a great looking model. Your right about the divisional markings. The yellow one on the drivers side is the 3rd panzer division 1943 and the skull head on the radio operators side is 3 ss panzer divison.
Paweł Chrześcijański thank you ! As for the wash on this particular model i used Flory models clay based wash which is pre mixed in the bottle which personally i don't like , right now however i use Migs abteilung oil paint diluted with odorless thinner from Ak interactive this is much better because you can make a wash as thin or as thick as you want you could use artist oil paint and just any odorless thinner . Hope this helps !
OberonsonPB thanks. To be honest I must of re-painted it three times in the bovington scheme but it just didn't look right I also questioned the existence of the camo scheme I couldn't find any research material so I just played it safe and went for the box camo.
Dominick Guerra right now i'm using a Veda series 180 with a 0.3mm nozzle and for paint i use Tamiya acrylics or Revell aqua colours for both of them i don't really have a ratio i just put a few drops of paint into the colour cup and thin with X-20 thinner for the Tamiya colours and water for the Revell aqua colours until i get the consistency i want . I used to apply the paint quite thick but now i try to keep the paint very thin so i can control the shades of colour ! Hope this helps you !!
Definitely. There's not that many parts and it practically falls together. The only difficult assembly for me was the barrel transport mount lock that has two very tiny pieces.
I agree with Richard. This is a great kit for beginners. Tamiya sell three panther kits. This is the cheapest at £14, there’s one at about £22 and another at £30 or thereabouts.
Hi. I'm new to modelling. I just want to ask what did you use for the wash? How to do it (even with other brands)? I'm just going to build my first model and would appreciate if you could give advice about washing. Thanks.
+Paul Dacpano hello sorry for the late reply ! For this model I used a sludge wash from flory models which is a sort of local model shop here in the UK but currently I'm using Mig oil washes in the black tubes and I thin that with AK interactive odourless thinner which I find fantastic, well worth the buy . If you need any more please feel free to ask !
scalemodelling76 Thank you! Is it necessary to use oil based washes only or are there alternatives? Scale modelling is not popular in my country (Philippines). Very few model shops here. And I have not seen any Mig products here yet, only Tamiya and Mr. Hobby. I just want to know how you made that tank's paint job look "real" or "smoggy" (the armor part). Sorry if I ask many questions as this is the first time I'm going to be doing these.
+Paul Dacpano you don't have to use oils I like them because they dry slow so you can work with them for a long time but I don't know what other products you could use in your location . The smoggy look on this model I think came from the sludge wash I used but like I said I got that wash from a local hobby shop. Ask as many questions as you like I'm doing the same to other modellers !
Thank you. As my first figure is an Allied tank, I don't have to worry that much about it yet because of Allies' one-color scheme. That's what I like about German tanks: they bring out the creativity in you.
Paul Dacpano oh yeah that should be straight forward . I used to avoid German tanks because of the tri-colour camouflage it can be quite hard at first !
i'm building this same exact kit and a stumbled upon this vid looking for camouflages. i don't have an air compressor for my airbrush, do you know a good air compressor i could get thats no more than $ 200? also this vid helped me alot and gave me some new techniques to try out. :)
+snakeboy hello, i bought my air compressor years ago on eBay from new and it was like £80 i don't know what the equivalent is in dollars. Sorry i couldn't be much help !
ethan mouse thank you the rust paint is from mig productions it's a oil based wash which i find if you brush a rough streak on where you want rust streaks and gently brush down with a moist brush you get nice rusting effects!
scalemodelling76 Excellent video and presentation. I myself use AK enamel track wash for weathering the tank as a whole and Humberol rust weathering powder for the actual exhaust and spare track. I find it gives great results. It turns out that a complete Panther Ausf A has just been recovered last week by German authorities near Kiel...was hidden by a 78 year old German individuals in his cellar... along with a Flak 88mm gun. (I'm not joking). Makes you wonder how many others are out their... hidden away.
cool! and for the discovery of that panther WOW and i agree i always wonder how many wrecks of aircraft are under the oceans around the world and tanks hidden in lakes boggy swamps and stuff thanks for sharing that ill search that up !
scalemodelling76 Actually, recovering tanks from Russian and Polish swamps is very much in vogue at the moment. The reason being... money..!!... a nice Stug III would be worth maybe hundreds of thousands of Euros. If you look on You tube... all sorts of T34's KV1's and Stug iii's have been pulled out of rivers and swamps..(Thirty years ago.. people knew about them being there, but they would have been too much trouble to recover, as not worth much).
the panther started with ausfhürung D (confusing) and suffered from frequent fires due to unburnt fuel collecting it the exhaust manifolds. panther A- fire problems solved by the addition of cooling exhausts (the 2 little exhausts on each side of one of the main ones. Panther G- some more general improvements plus the armour was made slightly thicker. new gun mantlet added to fix the original 's shot trap. panther F- new 'schmalturm' turret. general improvements to ausf G hull. 1 turret built. panther 2- 'schmalturm' turret fitted with PaK 43 (same gun as tiger 2) completely different hull. new engine, transmission, but with a similar shape. one hull completed. hope this isn't too late a reply...
Tommy Lakasi oh well I built it when I was still new to 1:35 tanks and I found it ok. There are a few little gaps that need filling but nothing major .
Almost all these model builders but videos, especially the Meng and Takom videos by Spanish speakers, are great painters, but lousy at building the models.
8:27 and 8:39 what the fuck is wrong with you people?!? Do you never do any research on your models? Apart from the fact that the walls of the exhaust are not - as your pictures make believe - armoured, they are also black on the inside, because exhaust gases tend to turn the insides of exhaust pipes black. If you do not believe me, weak out the door, to a random parked car, stick your finger into the exhaust pipe, wipe around the inside, pull the finger out and check its color.... What is so hard about first of all boring the hole so the exhaust does not look totally ridiculous, and then paint the inside black? This is like a nice model with such a huge mistake, it just kills the whole fucking thing. Built for nothing.
Calm down. You live on a tiny speck in the cosmos. The exhaust pipes are not the end of all existence. Let people enjoy what they have accomplished. Well done Panther A. Just ordered one on eBay. It will be my first armor kit build since the early 1980's. Before any berating by 'Collateral..' of my lack of appreciating the gravity of the pipes, yesterday I was part of the team on a liver transplant, real blood, real life, real death, perspective please.
My friend owns the model shop round from my house he got a load of these old tamiya kits in from some private auction all still sealed from an attic the previous Modeller had passed away so there on on sale for £15 each as long as they get built! I think that's very fair and a great way to carry on the modeller's memory I picked up the panzer 4 Ausf D that was £10 but will definitely build it!
I've got the same kit I received for my birthday back in November - thanks for sharing! :)
First seconds I was like
"Ooh, Tamiya 1:1 scale Panther with rubber tracks" lol
That would take a long time to build alone lol.
This is amazing. I'm gonna use this technique for my king tiger. It's annoying seeing tutorials on RUclips where they use like 8 different washes and pigments
Beautiful. Outstanding job! You got talent here. Love your work, I'm inspired to get into modelling again. Welldone!
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Great result. This is a quick easy build kit and a cheap buy. The hooks on the turret top edge - I’ve been searching Pinterest for a real example with these hooks and can’t find one. I’m building this kit now and will need to decide whether to remove the hooks and putty the holes. I like your paint job. Sometimes the krauts simply painted over the hull equipment and spare tracks when they painted the hull camo - I’ll probably copy your example and have the equipment painted without camo.
It's a great view of this model kit. Congratulations!
+Jose Daniel Masster_Ozymandias thank you !
Great build video. I just started my 1:35 Tamiya Panther Ausf A which is my very first armor build, ever. Very nice weathering techniques and paint.
Looks really good for such an old kit
Very nice Panther. I am starting a panther and I will be happy if it comes out half as good as yours. Very nice job!
Your video is by far the best video for this kit on RUclips and your model is also the best on Tamiya´s Panther Ausf. A I`ve seen. Realy cool. Keep it up!!
Thank you very much for the kind comment !
Tanks for showing this!
By the way, for the newbies out there.
The Bovington museum tank is a Panther G (late version).
The Tamiya model that scalemodelling76 is building is a Panther A (mid version).
This is the first tank I ever built (not as cool as yours though)

Found one on eBay tonight and ordered it. Looking forward to the build.
2:15 why is he so sad :(
Abradolf Lincler i dont know!!😢
Cuz no tanky tank 2 kill :(
This tank belongs to the 3rd SS Panzer division "Totenkopf"
It also has the insignia of the 3rd panzer division 1943. The Yii minus the dots on the left hull above the light is 3rd panzer division.
i just ordered this model tank, cant wait to build it. :)
GuyConfident did you build it?
Me too, I can't wait
nice choice on video format! Amazing build at the end!:)
Thank you very much !
This kit is ancient (released in 1974 if i am not wrong). There are better Tamiya kits in same price range.
John Wiseman just because this kit is 40 years old doesn't mean it's bad. :)
+Willabe I have this kit. Detailing and correcting this kit is tough.
@@willabe566 🏍️ It has the ugliest tracks in model tank history.
Great video, very helpful for beginner. Would like to see in the description the material used, paints, and such would be great. thanks.
Looking good, although this must be the first time I've heard anyone call this kit "detailed" :D
Great build! Btw this was my first model kit
Thank You !
Building this kit right now...nice job!
Beautiful Panzer V... :) :) I hope to get one built in 1/72 later this year, but at the moment I'm busy building Fw 190's and other Luftwaffe aircraft, and will do so for another couple of months I think,.. :)
Thank you ! Ah that's cool I need to build more aircraft I'm building to many tanks .
Great weathering on the tracks!
I know his is an older video, but I wanted to comment on your use of a mix of rubber and metal wheels, cool idea and it looks great. I think I will have to do the same on one of my upcoming AFVs. ; ]
🏍️ All the wheels are the same. Don't know what video you're watching.
...Awesome Job on that Panther Ausf.A.!...I got that Same Very kit a home Just Waiting to be built.!
Thank you very much ! And excellent hope it goes well for you !
...Your Most Welcome.!...I'll do my best...So many Kits to finish...
3:00 YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, Seriously you used a song from the EPIC game Sudden Strike (The original first game from the 90's) Fuck yes dude, i love that song so much time playing that game when i was young, commanding armies of all sides to fight in awesome battles. Dude really nice that you put that song in there mate blew my mind !! awesome video man ;D
Nice work👍
This is Panther ausf. G 0:39,and modelis perfekt painting and briliant work with patine
Great Job!
Great video! How exactly did you make your sludge wash? Love the consistency and impact it has on the final look.
Thanks for posting this. It gave me a great help with building my panther.
+Remco Dijkstra that's nice to know someone's using my video for help ! Thanks for checking out my channel !
Im doing this kit now. But also using a metal barrel , Eduard zimmerit and Eduard PE kit
🏍️ Expensive lipstick to put on a pig of a tank model.
I wanted to see how you managed to get the interlocking road wheels on after gluing them together first.
Absolutely fantastic looks great.
+The Dammed thank you !
Nice. I see u cheated on the escape hatch and skipped the hinges. Lol 👍🏻
Very nice..!!
I'm pretty sure that German AFV's had a reddish primer ?
The bovington camo is false it was just a rendition from the museum but it did not existed on any tank during WW2
***** ah right that explains why I couldn't find anything on that camo !
Yes, but that camo that you choose finally looks real good! Cheers!
thank you!
***** History on that specific Panther tank: It was incomplete at the factory at the end of the war, so when the Allies captured the factory, they ordered the workers to complete it using anything lying around, thats why it has the chassis of a late Panther, but the turret of an early model.

Not at all professor it is good to have additional info on the subject although sometimes museum guides tend to improvise on their stories to make them more attractive to attendands, who knows that's history, cheers!
Looks great dude
great stuff great music but what is it?? sorry if already asked but wow fitted the model perfect
Looks amazing, can you please tell me how exactly to go about making that wash? what does one do? Cheers
Thank you, as for the wash I'm not sure how you could make it because I bought it from a local model shop. Sorry I couldn't help but I use oil washes now which aren't to expensive and give you the same results you could do some research on them ! Thanks again !
2 nd track is from suddnen strike
Thanks for this video, building this as my first AFV Scale Model. Enjoyed building and painting it so far apart from the tracks ! How did you join and attach yours ?
+Stephen Sanders no problem, glad you like my video. As for the tracks I think I heated up a flat head screwdriver and melted the pins down like the instructions suggest and then I just put a bit of superglue over the pins. Hope that helps !
Just watched your video for your Panther Ausf A , lovely job! Did you use the kit vinyl tracks ? They look excellent 👍
Steve T yeah I used the tracks from the kit , long time ago I built this ! Haha
What is the last piece of music called? By the way, it looks wonderful!
+Ethan Ton Erika
Erika
He’s at war
Why not end an video about making a german ww2 medium (mabye heavy) tank model from tamiya with an "Ericka"
Very nice job, I'm currently waiting for a pe set for this kit.did you fill the underside of the sponsons?
Thank you ! I only filled the front part of the hull where it joins!
Superb my friend.
the panther is a early, mid o late?
looks good.
Did you use putty in this model?
I also had that kind of tamiya-kit. But I was disappointed because of the missing hull-part overneath of the tracks and under the aslant side-fronts. There is simply a big opening remaining after having fully acomplished the tank.
That looks amazing...
You need glue to make this model? :(
What you use ing for dirty wash just black paint?
I'm assuming you super glued your tracks to get the sag. Turned out great.
Bullshit. Look at 8:12, it looks ridiculous. The tracks are just flopping around. Crap job.
Well the rear idler wheel is off the tank, I assume because he couldn't get it on after gluing the rubber band track. No reason to be rude. Where's your work? Let's go critique.
Hi there great vid,do you have a gap between the top half and lower half of the chassis ? Sort of just above the top of the tracks.when I mate my top and bottom half the chassis together there is a gap in between,it won’t be seen but I was wondering if this was normal
michael whitham yeah I had a gap too when I built this, at the time I didn’t bother filling it but I would fill it in if I was to build it again now .
Scale Modelling 76 ah thank you pal thought I’d gone wrong some where 😂 great channel now subbed 👍
8:46 the cap of the tank commander’s hatch is not glued...quickie)))
I'm building a hachette panther. It's good.
Sudden strike soundtrack????
YES YES YES :D
I have a question. What is that glue you're using? I have this kit and that glue looks very handy.
Emu Clan Hello i use 'Tamiya extra thin' it's a cement that welds the plastic together but it's not as viscous as other types of cements.
Is it hard?
I found a kit on a carbooth sale. only have one problem, there is no instructions manual. Do you have any idea where I could get one?
kleinsmetjen Ah right that is a problem I could of sent you mine but I bin all of my boxes and instructions I don't no where you could find a copy!
Hello, what is that liquid what you use to put the parts together? normal "super glue"?
+Topi Salminen hello, no it's plastic cement it's glue for plastic model kits it welds the plastic together for a really strong fit . The exact glue is 'Tamiya extra thin cement' but you can get it from other model companies too ! Hope this helped !
6:56 why do you have a early war emblem on the right side of the panther?
thes is a realy cool paint work you have gotten on the tank!
It is a great looking model. Your right about the divisional markings. The yellow one on the drivers side is the 3rd panzer division 1943 and the skull head on the radio operators side is 3 ss panzer divison.
very nice!

Hello, great job panther looks great. What oils You use to make a sludge wash?
Paweł Chrześcijański thank you ! As for the wash on this particular model i used Flory models clay based wash which is pre mixed in the bottle which personally i don't like , right now however i use Migs abteilung oil paint diluted with odorless thinner from Ak interactive this is much better because you can make a wash as thin or as thick as you want you could use artist oil paint and just any odorless thinner .

How did you make the sludge wash?
Great build! What made you change your mind on the Bovington desert camo scheme?
OberonsonPB thanks. To be honest I must of re-painted it three times in the bovington scheme but it just didn't look right I also questioned the existence of the camo scheme I couldn't find any research material so I just played it safe and went for the box camo.
What airbrush are you using? What is your paint/thinner mix ratio?
Dominick Guerra right now i'm using a Veda series 180 with a 0.3mm nozzle and for paint i use Tamiya acrylics or Revell aqua colours for both of them i don't really have a ratio i just put a few drops of paint into the colour cup and thin with X-20 thinner for the Tamiya colours and water for the Revell aqua colours until i get the consistency i want .
I used to apply the paint quite thick but now i try to keep the paint very thin so i can control the shades of colour !
Hope this helps you !!

+Modellbau Rudi thank you ! :)
wht difference btw ausf A to F ?
the panther started with ausfhürung D (confusing) and suffered from frequent fires due to unburnt fuel collecting it the exhaust manifolds.
panther A- fire problems solved by the addition of cooling exhausts (the 2 little exhausts on each side of one of the main ones.
Panther G- some more general improvements plus the armour was made slightly thicker. new gun mantlet added to fix the original 's shot trap.
panther F- new 'schmalturm' turret. general improvements to ausf G hull. 1 turret built.
panther 2- 'schmalturm' turret fitted with PaK 43 (same gun as tiger 2) completely different hull. new engine, transmission, but with a similar shape. one hull completed.
hope this isn't too late a reply...

Apart from the fact that the walls of the exhaust are not - as your pictures make believe - armoured, they are also black on the inside, because exhaust gases tend to turn the insides of exhaust pipes black. If you do not believe me, weak out the door, to a random parked car, stick your finger into the exhaust pipe, wipe around the inside, pull the finger out and check its color.... What is so hard about first of all boring the hole so the exhaust does not look totally ridiculous, and then paint the inside black? This is like a nice model with such a huge mistake, it just kills the whole fucking thing. Built for nothing.
Advice taken ! Cheers
Calm down. You live on a tiny speck in the cosmos. The exhaust pipes are not the end of all existence. Let people enjoy what they have accomplished.
Well done Panther A. Just ordered one on eBay. It will be my first armor kit build since the early 1980's.
Before any berating by 'Collateral..' of my lack of appreciating the gravity of the pipes, yesterday I was part of the team on a liver transplant, real blood, real life, real death, perspective please.
