1/35 Scale Airfix M3 Stuart "Honey" Build | Part #2 - Exterior
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2023
- Almost 3 years ago I started my first 1/35 tank model kit - the Airfix M3 Stuart "Honey". Due to various reasons, it would sadly get boxed for quite considerable time . . until recently where I would finally be able to finish it!
Join me in this video as I complete my build and review of the A1358 M3 Stuart "Honey" tank scale plastic model kit in 1/35 from Airfix.

This was the happiest I’ve been to see you upload for quite a while
Awesome! Perhaps I will do more 1/35 scale armour next year
That's part of the reason they're called Jerry Cans. They were superior to allied fuel cans and less likely to leak.
good point!
Well I'll happily admit I was wrong. About a year ago I said my "Honey" would be finished before you finished this. It's been waiting paint for about 9 months. Well done Matt, it was worth the wait to see this finished.
Thanks! Perhaps you will get yours finished soon :)
I'm very cynical... but this was your best build yet. Loved the end result Matt.
Thanks very much! I might do more 1/35 scale armour in the future
@@ModelMinutes would be great to see a 1/35 tank model.
Those squares on the front corner panels are gun plugs, the U.S M3 Stuart's had two browning 30 cals in those corner panels, so we took them out and plugged the holes.
thanks for the info!
Finally 1/35 scale, my scale. Excellent. And a nice result, Matt :)
Thanks!
That scheme looks different and really stands out. Despite the age it looks a reasonable kit. Well done.
Thanks! I really like the look of this one now that it is finished
The tank is really a nice build. There are times I think people over weather a vehicle, but I think you got it. " Just right." I hope you get some time off for the holidays. Merry Christmas.
Thanks 👍Hope you have a good holiday season too!
Oh /that's/ where the camel and figure was from Matt. I remember that from a year or so ago.. the figures and camel were superb :)
Yes it was! I'd like to use the other figures in a diorama with this tank
YES, FINALLY
Lol its only been a few years
Damn Man,only 2 and a half years later 😂🤣😅
In all seriousness, i am Happy you are coming back to some old kits in the stash,and i love that you are doing more and more afvs!
Thanks! Yes, it has taken me a while to get this one completed
very nice build mate well done !
Thanks!
I've got the Academy stored away - hope to build it someday! Thanks for this.
Have fun!
Yeahhhh!!!!! Great to see this finally finished after 3 'very hardworking' years on this kit. Good job Model Minutes. I really like how they painted that coat of paint on the top surfaces of the tank. Very cool. You did a very good job on the painting! I wish I had the tools you have to paint my kits! That would be awesome. Also, I think about kits, and especially armor kits with internal detail. In my mind, if I had a kit like this, I would cut out a section of the side of the tank so that you could make a 3D inside diorama that you can see in! That would be cool, but if I knew anything, I would probably finish the kit as fast as you did! 😆😆😆
Thanks! I’ve not glued the top of the tank on so I can do more stuff inside if I feel like it
@@ModelMinutes That's a good idea!
MOAR TANKS PLZ !
I should probably do that CSM lanchester you gave me :P
@@ModelMinutes 👉👈
@@lpjmodels 😂
Hi Matt, that was a excellent build, the colours were perfect, I think you could have sprayed tge blue on, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia
Thanks 👍 I think that had i sprayed the blue on I would have needed to do a lot of complicated masking, particularly with all the parts that had been glued on by past me. Hand painting was the quickest way to overcome that
Turned out really good . The diorama is a must . Wouldn't be looking forward to painting the figures. I can't paint figures ha 👍.
Thanks 👍 I do find figures to be quite tricky too!
Amazing results
Thank you!
Recently finished the Academy boxing of this. Not a bad kit, but some nasty ejector pin marks were annoying. Instructions were a little bit vague too.
yes, i think the airfix rebox might be a little better with the instructions
DAMM, I’m not a MEMBER !!!!
I Subscribed !!!!!!!!!
You do such a variety of models…
The last one I watched was the AIRFIX Armored ANTI TANK CAR, you made a little diorama with it
Nice Little Vignette…
I JUST BOUGHT ONE OFF
€Bay…
Got a great deal, trust me!!!!!
I enjoy your channel
I’ll keep WATCHING 👀
Happy Holidays…
Have fun and be SAFE….
CHRIS 🇺🇸
Awesome! Thanks Chris!
An armor kit with an interior and single link tracks for a reasonable price? Sold!
yeah, its got quite a lot going for it
Lovely little tank! Always liked this tank, being one of my favorites in the smal armour range. Nice build 💥👍💥
thanks very much!
You should do a tiger tank next.
It’s only 3yrs late…
But at least it’s finished.
better late than never :)
Nice looking result there Matt. I did not realise that this kit has a pretty decent bit of interior detail. Although, I think I would have painted a lot of it separately. But for your first 1/35 build, I think you did a good job. Even though it took you 3 years lol. I will be sure to catch up on your next 1/35 scale build, sometime in 2026 eh?
Lol maybe 😂
Wasn't the first film of this build in black and white? ;-)
lol and 320p
@@ModelMinutes no I think it was actually called Victory in the Desert and featured a B.L.Montgomery.... or did I dream that?
Q for anyone: are the AIRFIX 1/35 vehicles new molds or reboxes from Tamiya or somewhere, and when did AIRFIX start 1/35?
I haven't built models in a long time but I still like them and when I was building, AIRFIX made vehicles in the annoying 1/32 scale.
Airfix have some academy reboxes in 1/35, but their more recent 1/35 kits are their own tools. They have been doing 1/35 for about the last 5 years or so
@@ModelMinutes Good for them! Long may they wave!
Hi, I’m new to modelling what do you mean by dry brushing?
dry brushing is a process where you put paint on your brush, then wipe it all off again (on a paper towel or something) until the brush feels dry. Then you use the residue on the brush to highlight the raised details on the model. I've been meaning to make a quick tutorial on this technique because I get asked about it quite a lot, so stay tuned for that
👍🏼🤟🏼
:)
What reference did you use for the paint scheme/, thanks
Just the painting instructions that came in the kit
@@ModelMinutes Thanks very much, looks great.
So small note, apparently the Brits never actually called the Stuart "Honey", that's likely some postwar story that got told and people just went with it as if it were fact.
How interesting
What do your think of this as a 'beginner' kit??
I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner due to the high part count and the various elements that need to be painted at different stages in the assembly. I'd suggest something smaller or simpler
Did I miss part 1?
If you’ve not seen part1 it’s linked in the description
@@ModelMinutes thanks! Love your channel.
