- Here is my in-box review for Armorama.com of the Academy 35(t) Befehlswagen. It is basically just Academy's very good 35(t0 with an added antenna sprue.
I recommend this as the cost to value ratio is in this kits favor. I will be posting a full build write up over on Armorama as soon as it's built.
That antenna is pretty cool. Looks like a good build. Thanks for the video and review
+dalton vickers Sure thing Dalton.
not everyone's taste but I have a soft spot for academy. they offer a kit for their price point. good review
+Armour Empire Some of their kits are great, others not so much. But this one I like.
Perfect! I had been looking at this kit yesterday based on the price alone, and you review it! Thanks! Now I can make an educated decision about buying it, which I think I will having seen your review. Looks like a perfect little weekend model, nothing too complex yet still well detailed. Thanks again for the fine review!
+Sgt Bones that's exactly how I feel about it. Great little kit to relax building. Hamilkar did a great dio with the other version of this you can see on his channel.
+Adam Mann I will definitely check it out.
looks so much like the CMK LT 35 Skoda = 35(t) I built last year.. thanks for the review.
Regarding the string tow rope, a little trick we used to use in ship modelling, (to make gun carriage rope coils) pull the string through wood glue, set into shape and let dry, job done. I still use this way on any string/cord tow ropes.
+Old Timer Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.
+Adam Mann ....Put a blob of wood glue on a flat surface, take string between thumb and fore digit, place string into glue, with a digit from other hand place on top of string end in the glue with enough pressure to keep in on the ground, now pull string through bottom of digit, this is so that you don't get too much glue on string, and get it all over the place...lol let it soak into string for a couple of mins, then shape and dry.
String cables you just use white glue and work with wet finger tips in water and you can work the glue in then lay it however you want and when dry holds it's shape and takes paint very well.
nice and quick unboxing there well done adam :) the command vehicle is interesting, i do not make these very often. in early war period these were very common along with panzer III befehlspanzer. i will keep it in mind when i go shopping.
+Hamilkar Barkas It was an easy review for sure. I haven't actually done a proper befehls yet.
Thanks for showing this
+Errowl31 You're most welcome.
Thanks for sharing!
cool review Adam, I have the Dragon one, it has the full interior, i just need to have some inspiration, funny figures, one of the commanders heads looks constipated, hahaha again cool review.
+Clayton McClain Thanks Clayton.
oh and I managed to build the boggies and pop out the wheels to paint seperatly. Then click them back in for finally assembly.
+Harry Houdini So you painted the wheels and bogies and still managed to get the wheels on without damaging the paint job?
I tested if they could be popped in and out before painting.. it was fiddly but could be done... after painting they did click back in, but there were a few minor scratches, mostly becuase I used Lifecolour and had not sealed with varnish.. but all could be easily touched up afterwards.. and it meant I was able to stencil all the wheels and airbrush them outisde the boggies.
Nice review, Adam. Will you be building the kit soon?
+Russell Gosselin Am currently actually.
Which Dragon kit would you recommend for modeling Tiger from Schweres Panzer regiment Bäke?
Dragon 6700 as those were mids.
good review, not too hot on the machine always looked little derpy haha
show the 35(t) some love man :)
+Hamilkar Barkas throw it down a well at birth lol haha
hehe thats what i do with sherman babies >:)
Hamilkar Barkas wow wow pop the breaks we all know the Sherman was superior in every way :P
If I wanna build a good tiger I kit should I go Rye Field or Dragon ?
+Acrylic Maple I would say Dragon. Rye Field has some stuff yet to learn.
Any kits you prefer in dragon ?
Acrylic Maple
6730 and 6820 are beautiful early kits and 6383 is my favorite late. All I would replace is the tracks.
+Adam Mann thanks I Will into those
