Dear sir: you have been my savior! I was about to throw everything out the window, until I saw your video. The suspension and springs were driving me crazy. Eternally grateful from Buenos Aires.
Hi, I want to start building a model, this one looks nice, I've never tried painting ships and I wanted some advice on painting especially the main structure
i got 2 zvezda kits a few years back. t34/76 and t34/85. lovely kits. plastic tracks too. i got both kits for less then $60 together. from where i am, you can only get ONE tamiya t34 at that price and that kit is probably 40 years old hahahaha.
Stunning looking Tiger John. I normally build 1/35 scale armor but saw this kit on sale dirt cheap yesterday so I snapped it up as soon as I saw it. I'll be chuffed it mine turns out half as good as yours. Greetings from NZ 👍
Nice job, looks good. Currently building one of my own and was enjoying it until I got to the suspension. Now I just want to burn the effing thing. Who came up with that shit. ha ha
Great looking kit this one. I think I will attempt it after my zvedzda Ural 4320 project. Thanks for the cab assembly tips! The 4320 will be my first ever go at one. It's the next thing to do... And thanks to you I now know to use my laziest glue!
This is a great build. Someone told me to stay away from all Italeri kits because they were all inaccurate and not worth the effort. This video shows what excellent results can be achieved with this kit. While I will not be able to match the quality of the result seen here, this video shows that the kit (at least for me) is a decent representation of the actual vehicle. Thank you very much for this very informative video!
Hi John. I noticed you applied the Surfacer to the front fenders but I dont think they were cast? The large cover on the engine deck immediately behind the turret is a casting also. Thank you for the video its been very helpful
Currently building that Nightmarish kit. Loose Fit, bad Fit, missing indikations where the Parts should go exactly, misleading or incomplete instructions. Very fiddly time to time. One can notice the age of the original Kit. My advice: read the Instruction in advance, dry fit before glueing, support drying parts with jigs (the soft plastic, once in contact with cement takes loads of time to dry). On the other Hand somewhat very nice details. Thanks for sharing that Video, it helps. By the way: the issue with the guns Sights isn't your fault. I will run into the same issue because the instruction tells to glue the Sights in Place before the Elevation of the Gun is chosen (and connected by rod between Sights & Gun).
I know this video is old but I just got into modeling and I don’t have a clue on how you got the poly caps to fit mine are too big. Did you have this problem or am I missing something?
I just spent two hours trying to install ONE pressure spring and mounting on the hull for the suspension to no avail. I see you had so success with the Instructions and made a workaround. I haven't had any luck with that method either. HELP!!
No problem at all with this approach to trying something different. To be frank, I am fed up with looking at slick and soulless models with no life to them.
