I've been looking forward to this kit! Can't wait to get my hands on it. The add-ons are awesome between Jason figures and the resin accessories we can really bring this model to life! Can't wait to see them be available. Expect a call Andy!
Hi Andy, I have the kit on order from MBK and when Jason’s figures and stowage becomes available will buy those too. The kit is very good and the extra’s by Jason are exceptional. Can you maybe show us a step by step of the clearcoating and sanding and mattcoating as it does really help to get the decals to look much less like decals.
One suggestion I would give you if you wanted to make this kit next level is to include a set of stencils that could be used to paint on the markings. The markings are quite simple and it would dramatically improve the look of the model for the markings to be painted. I know that we could make our own, but if they were included, that would be awesome. Maybe on future Andy kits?????
Had to stop doing 1/35 Military modelling in early 2000 due to Presbyopia & shaking hands. This scale must be a Godsend to anyone suffering with this 'Modeller's Curse' in '24 Andy!...
Nice kit, received mine a few days ago and its an awesome kit 😊 Is there any chance that you could sell a separate accessory set with helmets, water bottles (canteen), flashlights, binoculars and case etc just to complete the internal stowage of both the main compartment and turret? Many thanks Jock.
Great looking model once built Andy. Very much looking forward to the model being available in England. Will you be doing extra crew members in plastic for this vehicle and the previous M10 & Achilles tank destroyers?
It's a beauty Andy! The Jason figures are great poses as well. My only question, wouldn't it be easier to pre- paint the top of the suspension sub assembly before gluing? Seems hard to get into all the nooks and crannies
@yay795 np ,if your going get a compressor ,I'd get 1 with a little tank,like 1 or 2 liters and a small water trap I,I have 1 at compressor around 15 bucks and 1 came in an iwata airbrush I bought,it at the airbrush, makes it easy for my sausage fingers ,hand to hold lol
Andy, I see on your AFV webpage way down the bottom there are kits marked as sold out. Will your Andy's kits ever be sold out, and no longer available??? Usually after many years kits become unavailable for one reason or another. Myself, and other's may not have the funds to buy every 1/16th kit we want in a short span of time.
All kits are produced in one or few waves, once all waves are sold out its over, kit is gone. Fortunately for you creating injection moulds is expensive so factories want to milk them as much as possible. Eventually they will re-relese the kit, release different version of it, or sell the moulds to other company that will re-relase the kit under different logo.
SICK??? For heavens sake use the word correctly and stop this ridicules trend of corrupting the english language by trying to look clever and with it!!!

@@Arnhem1944 I suspect that you are just another 'Russian bot' attempting to spread intolerance & anger in other nations. However, if you are not a 'Russian bot', then please read the following: FYI, "Slang" has been part of every language since the dawn of humanity.

For example, a lot of phrases from Shakespeare's plays have become common & accepted parts of the English language, such as "in one fell swoop" from "MacBeth".
I think that the 'toy' appearance is due to (a) the design of the vehicle, and (b) the perfect painting lines, and (c) the lack of battle damage & weathering.🤔Once the battle damage, weathering, figures & diorama base have been completed, it will no longer look like a toy.🙂
I wonder how many of your subscribers See one of your videos; and hit the like button before they see the video, One vote fr me
I am glad that you returned to building model kits.
… you are doing the BEST kits in 1/16…!!! 👍😃👋
The m8 greyhound arrived, super impressed with it. Going to see about scratch building the missing engine compartment.
Awesome Andy! ... Injected styrene wheels & tires look amazing ... no vinyl so I'm in
Hi Andy
Beautiful kit!
Nice looking work mate, certainly a far cry from Tamiya’s 1/35 model.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊
Especially when one has the original motorised 1960s version with rubber band drive!
Great job Andy
Great job Andy, Love your build videos and the great kits you release.
Awesome job my friend keep up the good work 👍👍
This is looking very awesome and the add ons will definitely make it One Beautiful Model
Yes it will, Thanks for watching.
Again nice and well made video. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
15:16, Nicely detailed drivetrain & suspension and it fits together quite well in the order you've shown us.

Bought this kit yesterday.Going together very well.
Nice work Andy!👍👍👍👍

Great kit and great achievement for you, would love to see someone like Night Shift or Plasmo or similar make one of these.
If I had the room and the budget I would build every one of the 1/16 armor kits. They look awesome!
I loved your Korean War Sherman kit so I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these
Had to stop doing 1/35 Military modelling in early 2000 due to Presbyopia & shaking hands.

I'm very excited to get this kit

I just received notice of my M8 shipping out!
Really cool model.
cool. thanks for posting
What glue works best with painted parts? I had no luck with CA adhesive.
love it cant wait to get mine
Also how about a short video with Jason showing off his artwork? Nice stuff!
Waiting for someone to do an R/C conversion of this kit. 😊
How do you cement the pre-painted parts? From my experience gluing to paint never ends well.
Sure would like to see you do a car build video
Looks like a awesome kit not a big fan of the grayhound but still I think I'm going to get one
Man that's great!
How about winter chains for the tires

Omg. Gotta pre order this

OMG... I love the music as you assemble. Andy what airbrush are you using and or can you recommend a good air b rush?Thank so much! Frank
I use the Iwata HPCS an excellent airbrush.
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Thank you so much! 🙂
Got same airbrush as Andy its fantastic, you cant go wrong with iwata@yay795
@@-donkey_696_ I appreciate your input and help. I am retiring to the hobby after many years so I am new to the airbrush and its use. Thank you again.

What would be cool is a decal set for the M8 that knocked out a king tiger that would be very cool sorry it was a tiger 1 not king tiger
what kind of material did you use for the wiring?
What are you using to glue painted parts together?
In terms of weathering. Shouldn't you weather the interior before the hull is attached?
How did the battery last. D8d 8t do it's job?
Great stuff!!!!
So it can rolls freely move the steering
It would have been nice to have an engine to build up for that model but it is nice still.
日本からです。
私もアンディさんのお店に行ってみたいです。
Please make a 1/16 scale panther or tiger 2 👍
Did you us CA glue on the painted parts?
I REALLY REALLY MISS YOUR BUILD VIDEO'S. YOU USED TO DO AT LEAST ONE A WEEK .
I don’t see the kit on website.
Where is the link to pre order
I wonder if this kit could be converted to RC???
Looks nice. thx for sharing
could this be made RC ? using say WPL driveshafts
What size wire was used ?

Yes the containers have arrived in Long Beach and will be to us in just a few days.

The instructions need revising. The dampers are handed, but this is not shown on the instructions.
Sadly this kit doesn't do it for me . Looks like a toy for some reason. Liked the other 1,16 scale kits tho.
I think that the 'toy' appearance is due to (a) the design of the vehicle, and (b) the perfect painting lines, and (c) the lack of battle damage & weathering.🤔Once the battle damage, weathering, figures & diorama base have been completed, it will no longer look like a toy.🙂
