*Hey Andy you should do more Knocked out vehicles! You did a really good job with the M4 Sherman!*
I really want to see Andy do a really battle scared tank.
i would use an older kit to do that since newer kits are more detailed and the details are lost through the battle damage process
Some new M3/M16s would indeed be pretty cool. With new tool figures and just tons of details. OOh please Tamiya
Alfadas fire n
Hi Andy, GREAT Build. I also hope Tamiya re-tools there US Halftracks. This Scout car is now at the top of my list. Thanks again for the video.
Another excellent video and model built by you! Thanks again for posting your video(s)!
Nice build up!
Liked the video, but it's a pitty you didn't do one of the russian versions and include the figures. The figures are a quite important pus to this kit in my opinion, and they aren't showed well here. Just my two cents...
Yeah I was excited to see the Russian version. :(
Andy and others: Trumpeter announced their full interior 1/35 Maus!!! We talking bout 1500 parts!!!!
( No release date yet)
Thank u i just saw this model in the video of the Japanese model show. Do you have any info on the new tooled spitefire mk 1 tamiya is bringing out
hello how much this beautifoul thing cost? great from france
Hello Andy,
I like what you did with the M3A1 Scout Car. What l don't understand is how can you call this segment a step-by-step build and you do a lot of skipping over because your followers have built a great number of Tamiya Kits you didn't want to bother with the details.
For your information I haven't built a Tamiya Kit ever because I was told that they are for the advance modeller only. I have no experience none what so ever so when I watch a video I always hope there's a lot of information for me to understand.
So please keep the skipping to a tiny bit and more detail talk on how the parts came together. Where I come from the plastic model kit hobby shops are replaced by the radio control market and arts and crafts Stores.
I don't know what to do because where I live there is no I P M S clubs and no plastic model kits shows. Can you please help me.
Thank you for your time
Sincerely
Allan
first: Tamiya is NOT exclusively for the advanced modeller.
Their models (old ; before 1990 and new) are decent and easy to fit and not too many small items.
second: The new tamiya models (after 2000) are sooooo much better in moulding and sharpness that they have become (also) quite expensive.
In price and quality it came to compete (often) with the better end of the market Trumpeter (some) and AFV club, etc.
Yet, those are even MORE expensive per kit.
third:
Most practical; where to buy get 1/35 scale models in your situation: order via internet , order via second hand on ebay, check where there are kit modelling hobby groups /gatherings near your town and visit those venues (for info AND cheap second hand models), and last and best:
Buy a cheap off vacation season plane ticket to HONG KONG and get NEW kits for at least 30% cheaper prices than in the USA or Europe..
Hong Kong : Kwong Wa street and within radius of 3 kms.
Google "model kit shops in hong kong" and find them all.
Cheap hotels in Mong Kok area.
I am more excited about the mongolian figures...awesome.
If you are not going to use these mongolian figures; PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME !
(give me a headsup..in my youtube inbox ..).
Can't watch this anymore. Please stop telling me how wonderful Tamiya are.
I think the Soviet version with those figures, some of whom appear to have Asiatic faces, is really awesome and the one I would personally go for.
Always amuses me they have a camouflaged truck but then have a huge white star on the side. Like a big target.
how else you would identify your army vehicles ???
@@jimmyharris1481 But it has'nt to be so big mate
That's correct ! This one is really too big !
But they made them smaller in later years during the war...
@@jimmyharris1481 I know
The crews tended to smear them over with mud to tone them down. The Army said they had to be there, not that they couldn't be muddy!
ANDY…..Do you ship model kits???
Off Topic but I really want to build the 1/350 Trumpeter USS Constellation CV-64. I spent 4 years on her in San Diego )1985-89)
as an AB (green Shirt). The problem is this kit is like $240.00 and there are no reviews or photos of the kit. Does anyone know anything about this kit? I did read it had 1,300 parts. Is it worth the cost?
I happen to own a real 1942 M3A1 Scout Car I'm restoring. It belonged to the 91st Rec. (attached to the 1st Armored) HQ vehicle #7. If you have questions regarding the 1:1 version let me know. It's a really fun vehicle. Armor, but wheels instead of tracks.
Cool looking kit and hope as well that they re-do the M16 half-track! Great looking build as usual mate.
Andy..
Great to see back on the Bench!!!
I will be getting this one for sure!
Also I want to say as well. I Thank you for all you have done me and us modelers thur the years!!
Your Fan!!
Bill
I'm building the zveda scout car bit I tell you for a 2007 kit it's the worst out iv done in years! the detail is very good don't get me wrong there it will come out a nice model after tonnes of cleaning up! Every part has flash and injection pin holes in places that are on show pure eye sore! And heavy seem lines! Iv got everything filled and sanded and now looks presentable and a very nice model! I done it for my jagdpanther 2 mythical TD from amusing hobbies its really nice! And can just think out the box on that one! But just a big jagdtiger with a rear mounted gun! Stunning bit of kit! But its deffo a first and last time for me with a zveda kit!! They should just stop now there that bad! Iv seen some lovely looking Russian trucks I'd like to do but there from this zveda so that's just one company I'll know to avoid in future!!
With regards to the star on the front louvre, you did a video not too long ago using a stencil to replicate wood grain, Alliance Model Works also does a stencil for American star markings, LW35018, have you perhaps thought of doing the star using an airbrush?
Even though the car has been finished and weathered, it would probably make an interesting short video showing putting the star on with the stencil perhaps?
Andy, no comment on the Scout Car's "Buster Crabbe" nickname? You're excused. You are FAR too young to know who Buster Crabbe was along with his 1950s CLASSIC TV adventure show watched faithfully each week by us old guys! Keep up the good work. GREAT build as always.
Cool build! Quick question regarding the decals and mark fit strong. I've seen in numerous videos that after applying the mark fit strong, you shouldn't touch the decal when it all wrinkled up, and that it would then flatten out. But looking at the video, you were pressing it down between applications of mark fit strong. Did you wait for the mark fit strong to dry up before pressing down with the cotton swab?
Russia and Canada used many more of these in combat than the US did, so I understand the Soviet versions being marketed. If they included US figures, they would probably be prewar era.
Arthur Murray yup I've seen pictures of the red army with the M-3 half-track as well
I think it's great you admitted to screwing up a decal. I've done it a few times as well, as I'm sure all modelers have. This is typical Tamiya and goes well with their other WW2 US vehicles.
Andy (or any modelers out there)... why do you use NATO black paint instead of black surface PRIMER?
Hey Andy.... if you can't be arsed answering questions in some of your old videos then perhaps disable the comments as there is nothing more off putting than ignorance!
I think Dragon's .50 MG is starting to look pretty dated - they need to start molding it the way that Tamiya and other companies now do it (barrel separate from receiver and cooling jacket).
Glad this kit has great detail injection molded tires. Those rubber tires on the latest kits do not impress me but that is just my opinion.
What brand of weathering powder do you use? Looks easy to use and the finish is fantastic.
that is a k[t by Tamiya I've been waiting for over 30 yrs
Me too. I don't really do 1/35th scale kits as I am primarily a wargamer, but this is one I will do for sure. One of my favorite WWII vehicles.
Good looking kit and great paint job!😀👍
Absolutly perfect as usual my friend Andy!! Best regards from Provins, France.
Mission Models faded olive drab? how does it spray vs. tamiya?
Can u pls make a polish model like a tank, submarine, plane? 🇵🇱
I wanna see Andy do some figures 😎😎
I wish the ads on your channel were related to the hobby, remember when Tamiya had ads for R/C cars on tv especially around Christmas time. I am buying this kit as soon as it comes out!!!! My will be filled with Germans
I'll look out for that!
I Really like This 1 Too !! Thanks Andy for Another Awesome Tutorial Build, God Bless All
You should do the takom 1/35 object 279
It’s a shame with a new tool kit they don’t have weight wheels
This only came into the UK on the 11th of December
Tamiya have done a great job with this one and you have done a great job with the build Steve 🇬🇧
Great job, as always. I can't help but wonder why manufacturers don't mold realistic tire bulges and flat spots where the tire contacts the ground. It would go a long way to making the vehicle look more realistic.
Well done , George . You're one of the few people that I hear "Vallejo" pronounced correctly . People get the jo like an h but miss the y sound of the double L . That bug is coming along nicely .
Andy...love the video👍! If you'd like, send me the figures and I'll put them together and paint them up to place in the vehicle😀! Opps, sorry...didn't realize that it was going to be a US Army vehicle😀
Can you please add the item # for this kit?
You never fail to amaze me.
Good job, Andy.
I learn a little something every time I watch your videos. Thank you!
Great review, thanks. Looks right up my street!
I prefer Dragon and Trumpeter kits since they are a bit more complex to build and have more parts however, Tamiya remains the number one kit builder where the parts just fall into place.
Very interesting review and build. But why, oh why, have Tamiya put Russian figures in? Why not 2 sets - one of US and one of Russian to give the builder choice?
I am new to this game but have been following your posts with interest. I have some major problems however - after getting a great camo finish on my models - generally using Vallejo air paints (acrylic) when I seal the paint in with Tamiya dull coat (ts80) the paint finish bubbles and crazes. What’s going wrong?
can you do a kv2 pls
Does anyone know why no kit manufacturer has ever done an AMX-50 (-120 more specifically)? Seems like an pretty interesting tank that was just forgotten.
Nice job! Andy, what clear finish (rattle can) do I spray over an enamel finish paint coat so I can use Tamiya panel liners without messing up the paint. Maybe a silly question but I’m just getting back into the hobby after being away for 40 years. Thanks. Love your channel.
Hey andy you should try out the Heller 1:72 M4a2 "Division Leclerc" might be smaller than your normal builds but the QUALITY!!!! best 72nd sherman on the market :)
I like watching your videos. You should get a shirt clip on microphone. It would be easier to hear what your saying. There is a lot of back ground noise when your talking. It would make your videos much better. Love your videos.
Nice review and build. Something to acquire in the future. Happy modelling :)
I'm still waiting on this American one coming into my model shop decals look nice with just the star on the lovers without the odd circle iv never seen that on the scout car but it's different just remember to keep the glass out if using the armored plate windscreen cause they had to unbolt the windows first it wasn't an on the fly job as they would say! Iv ordered the one with the winch looking forward to building it
Nice work, as usual! What type of airbrush are you using? Looking to switch from syphon-fed to gravity fed and open to suggestions. TIA!
A Russian Model Manufacturer has done a model of the M3 Scout Car, The do both Russian and American Versions and one with a tarp, Can't remember the name though.
Andy, have you tried to mottle on the white over your NATO black base rather than a solid coat? it something alot of aircraft guys to to create added texture, I figure it would work here too
Need 1/48 Scout car and Half Track! The old Bandai kits are long in the tooth but still bring huge money.
Beautiful model kit (but I’m was already stop bought model kit because too much collections) 😅
Very nice Andy, well done. Just in case you didn't notice the decal number on the back was coming off.
Looking forward to your next project oh and where is the part 2 of the R2D2?
Thank you very much for sharing this build.
A little bit disapointed you chose the US version. The russian one with figures should have been more rare and interesting in my opinion.
Hey Andy Will you please build the old Itaiilari or Testers M3 scout car and compare it against the Newer Tamiya one?
The wheels rolling is really helpful when your making the base and want tire Mark's and then you can glue it down after your done making marks
Hi Andy how do you get from the desert sand paint, back to the olive green as you jump from that to the lovely green finish
Hi could you please build the tamiya 1/48 m4a1 sherman cast hull
You should cut the decals on the door seams. That way the doors would look like they were actually able to be opened! Great modeling as always!
Great video,cheers has Tamiya ever done a American halftrack like the one in Kelly's hero's?
Cracking little model. Recently made the M8 Greyhound by Tamiya, great model as well. Thinking of using it in a winter scene.
Any thoughts on doing a Winter diorama, maybe with a frozen river or something?
You should make a T34 straight out of the factory without paint like the way they were used at Stalingrad
"Die Valkyrie" for a Russian Vehicle?
I'd like to see one with some heavy wear and tear such as bent fenders, broken parts and heavy scarring...
Really happy you did a video on this one. Already got a scene planned out for it. I love Tamiya's diorama ready kits. Surprised you can't adjust the steering though.
Nice video lick the look of this one cude do it in indo China as a french one well don lick to see you finish of the panther from takom
please do more building on camera. I feel like seeing things come together is much more satisfying and enjoyable
Andy, any idea when is the 1/48 Spitfire shown in the same show gonna be available?
Andy, any word on the new tooled Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire MK I?
Hi Andy, excellent job as always. Yours is my favourite modelling channel, and I've learnt more about how to paint and weather my models from you than anyone else. I've even upgraded my airbrush to exact same one you use. I have a fledgling channel of my own if you would like to take a look? Thank you, and keep up the great work!
Thank you.
Good job
Hey Andy, what color did you use for the machine gun and the box?
tamiya is coming out With a New spitfire mk-1 any release date on this kit yet
Now I would love to see a retooled American halftrack.
The exhaust on this zveda kit has it coming straight out the back! Not like these m3s 90 to the side!
Cool👍👍👍, but why you not build the figures?
I wish there were more 1/24 & 1/25 scale military vehicles.
A Halftrack version with wheels. Lol!
Be handy having the figures for T34s or diaramas
Not assembling these figures is a wasted opportunity.
Build a Scharnhorst next that would be a nice challenge.
choose the right song on the right vehicle nation for more quality videos
What happened with the front wheels, they are sitting too wide on the finished model
lo I am still using the same bottle of Solvaset I've had for 35 years lol
Great job Andy. Love your work and all your tips and advice has really helped me elevate my skill set.
No spare tire, I'm surprised. Thoughts?
I was thinking the same thing
Looks great Andy 👍 Always nice to have something a 'little' different for the Allied forces and some cool marking options, for sure!
Excellent job as usual!!
