Hello Johnny. Great to see your outstanding and accurate work. Very nice model indeed. Thanks for your patience and passion. I love watching your videos. Have a good weekend and thanks for sharing. Cheers. François 🐕🦺🐾
Indeed this episode had a lot of parts placement, great job done on that modification as well Johnny. Never expected that the SAM-6 would be such an engaging build. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend!
I’ve got this kit in my stack,so this video is very interesting..I really like how things are explained in what to watch out for and highlights about the model..Thanks for a great upload and all the best from the U.K🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Hey Johnny! Your service in the Army was never more evident to me as in this video! I laughed so hard when I heard you giggle about "...filling cracks...". Man, from your onscreen appearance I always took you for a decent, sophisticated, slightly older than me, southern gentleman! But now I know deep down inside you're still wearing BDUs - and I love it!!! 😍💕💓
Hi Simon, speaking for myself, I refuse to let politics or ideology dictate what subjects to model. If it's a nice kit, it's a nice kit. I just enjoy modeling. So, it looks like only half as many people (or less) are watching this build compared to most of my other builds, I'm sure world events have a lot to do with it. Thanks so much for being one of the few that are watching this build, I really appreciate it. Take care and model on my friend. Johnny
Hi Johnny, that wzs a great update on your build, I could see by the end of the build it is going to be a monstet of a kit, congratulations on the great progress, what part of the US are you from? Best regards from Australia, Les
Hi Les, yes, it's going to be a large vehicle when done. As for where I'm at, well, it's a small town called Bluefield in southern West Virginia in the US. It's so funny, when I was in the army and I told people that I was from West Virginia, they would say "oh, I've been to Virginia before", not knowing that there is a difference between West Virginia and Virginia, LOL. It's almost like they had never heard of "West Virginia". But, I think next year I'll be moving to Georgia, that's the Georgia in the US and not in Europe, lol. Thanks so much for watching my friend, take care and model on!! Johnny
Many thanks Gerry! This kit is going together very well, I'm sure there will be something we will have to deal with, lol. Thanks so much for watching my friend, take care and model on! Johnny
Moving right along. I usually glue on the hatch and grab handles for the last of the building session. It gives the glue a chance to harden up really well. After you trim off the sprue gate from the handles, dab a little extra thin on them after clean up. It smoothes out any scratches left behind. 👍
Looking good, Johnny. One thing I do on the turret ring on both sides, is mask it off before priming and painting. Sometimes these things are made with aerospace tolerances 😆and when you put the turret / launcher on the hull and turn it I've had the turret "traumatically disassemble" itself! 🤪 Masking it helps reduce that friction. That's just me though.
Thanks so much, I too have had problems with turret fit most of the time. I fit them as well as I can then after painting, I have gotten into the habit of using isopropyl alcohol to clean the paint off of the contact areas. It works really well for me. Thanks for the tip, take care and model on! Johnny
@@hillbillymodeling Yup, cleaning with IPA takes a lot less effort than masking! Although weirdly, unmasking always makes me feel like a kid under the Christmas tree 🙂

Well, there you go, lol, you never really know what someone's thinking unless your mind works the same way! Now that's funny! 😂 Johnny
Great to see a Soviet/Russian vehicle being built in these troubled times!

This is turning into a very nice model, Johnny. I'm looking forward to the next edition.

Thanks Raymond, greatly appreciated my friend. It is coming along very well. Thanks so much for watching, take care and model on! Johnny

Great tip Jeffery! Extra thin is great stuff isn't, Have a great weekend. Johnny
@@hillbillymodeling As you do use A LOT of TET, I have to ask you if you know about the "trick" with Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner?
