1/6 scale Armortek Hetzer Jagdpanzer 38 (Vid 26) The final episode of this incredible build 

Thanks Chris, that means a lot...Land rover starts tonight...hope you enjoy this build as it is completely different to a tank.

Thanks Bill. My Series 1 build starts next week. Hope you continue to watch. Still deliberating over next tank project, but will definitely line one up for when the Series 1 is complete. Thanks for your continued support.

Hi Daniel, you did mention this battery before but it is very expensive... so I opted to what AT recommended....I am sure there is a way of installing both speakers using the conventional batteries, but I am happy with the sound and layout which I ended up with. I would have loved to attend AT today, but my family has other plans. Please pass my best on to Kian and the team and hope you have an amazing day.

Thank you...great to hear from you.

Hi Ray and thank you. I have learned so much since I started on my journey with the Tiger and continue to learn on each one of these amazing kits which I am fortunate to build. Series 1 project starts next week and hope you continue to watch and support. Best regards....Tony

Wow...what an amazing comment Russ and very much appreciated. What you see is the real thing...I just love building these kits and blubbering on 😀..It genuinely feels like I am building these kits along with a bunch a friends in the room. Thank you for your incredible support from the start and hope you enjoy the Series 1 build which starts next week with the unboxing....Armortek have nailed it again...the parts are brilliantly engineered and if feels like a true miniature of the real thing.Have a great rest of the weekend.

Thanks Gary..Have a great day...I wanted to go, but we have a family thing today. Give my best to the AT team. Landie starts next week.

Thanks Adrian, much appreciated.

I have learned a great deal during this build and I continue to learn as I find my way through this amazing hobby. The support of subscribers like you, continue to inspire me to learn and share the knowledge which I gain through my own development. Thank you also for your kind words about my son Ben and my incredible Wife, it is all very much appreciated. Hope you continue to watch and follow my new build starting next week. Warm regards...Tony

Thanks Warren...Really appreciate your support mate. Tell your wife he hasn't collected it yet...so there is still a chance😂

Thanks Mike and very much appreciated. Series 1 build starts next week. Hope you continue to watch and follow. Have a great weekend.

Thanks Jason, much appreciated. Good luck against Wolves today.

Cheers mate we need the luck 😂

@@jasonsmithgooner both my sons are gooners… they are equally nervous 😬

Thanks Steve...I have become very attached to this Hetzer and enjoyed every moment of the build...even the frustrating ones😀. Not sure why this was not that popular with the Armortek builders, perhaps when comparing the size they prefer the heavy armour tanks, but I love this kit...I love the shape and pluckiness of it. Thank you again for such amazing support throughout and hope you continue to follow. My Series 1 build starts next week.

Thanks Peter, that is very kind of you to say. I agree, that would be amazing...I am testing some other smoke oils...There is one called 'Living Steam' which is a darker version and has an odour...mainly used on model trains, but I am going to see how this works on the current AT smoker unit. Thank you so much for your amazing support, it is very much appreciated.

Thank you. Armortek have just upgraded with a twin smoke unit to allow for this, but not sure whether it was available on the Hetzer. Their new generation kits will all have the option for this...so next time...hopefully😀🤞

Thanks Daniel, for such a lovely comment. I really do appreciate all the support I get from everyone watching my videos. I am just a guy chatting away in my workshop trying to show that with a little amount of skill, you can build and get so much satisfaction from these amazing kits from Armortek. Hope you continue to support. Best regards...Tony

Hi Martin, no need to get your coat mate...😀 all comments are welcomed and I agree...it is the only thing that I am unhappy about....lessons leaned and all part of the learning curve of this amazing hobby. Thank you for your continued support and hope you enjoy the Series 1 build as much.

Hi Thomas and thank you. This is my favourite part of building these kits. Armortek allow the builder the freedom to make the kit your own by adding details, paint etc. I absolutely loved building this kit and really pleased I chose to go with it. It has turned out better than I imagined. Alas..no option for delay in smoke on start up, but this new smoke unit is definitely better than the 1st generation one. I do understand that space restraints have an impact and I am very fortunate to have a large garage which I have turned into my workshop, but there are many builders who build these in their sheds, conservatories and I have even seen one built in a kitchen. The Hetzer in my opinion is a good choice if space is a concern as it does not require as much space as the larger of the tanks or even the Series 1 which starts next week. Thank you for your continued support and hope you continue to watch and follow my builds. Best regards...Tony

Thank you. Hope you continue to watch and follow my builds.

Hi David, Driving now on single stick. Yes Adrian has become a good friend and he has taught me a lot. I am very grateful to have formed such a good friendship.

Hi Jeff and thank you. I am really pleased how this has turned out. Yes, up against the M26 it looks so small...The Hetzer had a crew of three...can't imagine what it would have been like trying to work inside it. Aussie Armour have one of these and there is a great video of the inside and workings of the Hetzer...worth a look. Funny you should say that, I am actually working up plans to create a scale battle environment for these tanks. I will cover this on my channel, but later this year.

Hi Michael, and thank you. The Tiger will be leaving soon, but it is going to a good home. The Landrover is here and the build sequence starts next week. Hope you continue to watch and follow my channel. Have a great weekend.

Thank you Chris. That means a lot. I use Heng Long Smoke Oil....seems to get the best effect.

Thank you. I am so pleased on the way this has turned out...I was nervous about tackling the paint job, but it worked a treat. The radio gear and receiver is purchased separately from hobby shops, as Armortek leave this up to the individual to choose. No adjustments on the Audio unit to alter bass, but with two speakers you can swap the bass and treble around to alter. I did this on the M26 and it sounds meaty. Series 1 build starts next week and hope you continue to watch and follow. Have a great weekend.

No probs Andy...looking forward to seeing you on collection day.

Thanks Gordon. The MG34 was remotely operated from inside the Hetzer as this was designed as an ambush light armour tank and the gunner would have been very vulnerable sitting on the outside. Space was a premium inside as there would have been three crew members...Aussie Armour have a great video on the inside and workings of the Hetzer...worth a watch if you have 10 mins.

Hi John and welcome back. Wow you have been away for some time…Hope you enjoy catching up and now that you have found my channel again, hope you continue to watch and follow my builds. Great to have you back. Best regards…Tony

😀 Thanks Mark

@@tonys_workshop put it up against the shrub in the background and look and see

I am planning a driving video with the Tiger before it is re-homed, so I will do that.

Thank you and yes, I completely agree. Hope you continue to follow my builds.

Thank you Lars, much appreciated. Not sure why builders do that, but we each have our own ways of interpreting what we feel reflects the look of these kits...I for one, would not want to take a valuable model and start distressing with a hammer...I am moving towards just weathering to show field age rather than battle damage. Really glad to hear that you enjoy my builds and hope you tune into my Series 1 project starting next week.

thank you

Let's hope you are going to be a 'Beta tester' for the new Leopard 2a4 from armortek ;-)

Hi Leon, yes Tiger is going to a new home very soon.

That would be the dream😀

Hi Mike, thank you for watching and commenting. Yes you are right, this particular hobby is very much for the 'big kids' but there are so many options for the younger generation...my 4 year old grandson is fascinated with my hobby and from time to time wants to help. He loves building lego and we have also built an Airfix model from their kids range 'airfix quickbuild' Getting hold of parts and materials for scratch building has also got easier with the internet. Hope you continue to watch my builds.

@@tonys_workshop I cut my teeth on Airfix obviously …..and I then recall the sheer sophistication that was Tamiya; a revelation in quality. These models today and the fabulous neo realism of the paint jobs though are amazing.

Yes...the options available for the modern model builder are vast. Have a great weekend.
