Building the Academy 1/35 German T34 -76 including painting and weathering. 

Once again Andy shows that it is possible to build a great model without spending 27 hours making minute modifications to the kit for the sake of 'accuracy'. Good job sir.

This kit is one of my most favorite kits I think. Its cheap, its got great detail and its easy to build. What else would someone want! :D

When you started chipping with the dark yellow, I thought "I'm not sure if I like the look of that", but then when you added the dark brown, I was blown away. That effect looks fantastic

Another great build and so much more to this model than just a German respray of a captured tank.

hats off to academy once again. great value for money

Thanks Andy. Maybe the best yet. Just ordered the kit.(checked your shop first. )You deserve a commission!

Hey and what's nice is the added bonus of left over (intentionally) parts. Looking forward to doing a total scratch build.

I'm gearing up to build a 1/16 scale version of the box art on this kit and I've discovered the Academy model has some serious accuracy issues when compared to actual photographs of the tank. I am far from a rivet counter, but there is a widespread problem with kit manufacturers using poor museum restorations or outright fantasy as a basis for an "accurate" model. The same goes for all of those lovely color profiles you see in books and online. Anyway, your videos inspired me to get back into this hobby after nearly 15 years and I'll have to bring my finished model by the shop when she's done.

Hey Andy, just wanna say I've learned soooooo much from your videos. Thank you so much for your tutorials.......

A note about the scratches... Because this was a captured vehicle, you need to have some Russian green in there! I think it would be most appropriate to do a three-stage chip with the green in between the yellow and the brown.

Happy andy's building video.

That was absolutely fantastic Andy, superb skills on display and so useful for me as a beginner to follow your build, painting and weathering. Many many thanks for sharing this great build, Joe

You never fail to amaze me, Andy. Sweet job.

Hi Andy, Another great build, I do look forward to all your videos, many thanks for the inspiration. Les

Outstanding video and presentation.

Get build and a great kit well done academy, well done Andy

damn it andy with you classical music relaxing and putting me to sleep

Probably my next build, finished up my Stug III. Overall I'm satisfied with the build. Camo paint even painted the figures, my first time painting them. You have been a great help for me getting back into the hobby. Thanks!@

Andy great paint & chippy job on the Academy captured T34/76.

Another brilliant build Andy. The chipping method is very effective. I'll be using that in the future for sure so thanks for the tip. Chris

I saw this video when it first came out. It came back again in on one of the You Tubes suggestions. It took me back to last year when I was trying to find an American 1/35 scale M3 half track. I looked at just about every hobby store within 60 miles of me. I also looked on line. They were all way over priced for me and some were being sold half built. (Some of the ones I found on line.) I thought about it for a while and decided to capture a German Half Track and made it American. I have seen many pictures of captured German equipment used by the Allies. One picture I found in my World War 2 Encyclopedia collection. I had some fun with it and put a lot of American equipment on it. Including a .30 and .50 caliber machine gun added to it. I painted on some over sized stars and there it is. A half track I can call my own. The Tamyia kit I found was on sale for just under 20 bucks.

ICMs new T34 range has all the wheels etc too! It's a lovely build once change out the barrel for a metal one

Looks like another great kit from Academy.

It looks like Academy has really been stepping up their game lately.

Excellent work on that kit. Seems like it went together with no fit problems. Very impressive results. Really like the simple camo pattern they used this captured tank.

same as below Andy, great stuff as always, thax for all the great vids and love the classical type music, fantastic!!

Very happy to see you do a Pz.747(r) but was kinda disappointed the kit didnt have the Schurzen. Nice that it had the turret box. Also If I recall Correctly the captured vehicles used a very large oversized balkenkruez, the cross on vehicle looks normal sized.

Best brand of kit for a first timer? You’ve really made me want to spend my money on these!!

Another awesome build from Andy! 👍

Great job Andy, model looks very nice. Thank you for tutorial of weathering.

Looks great again Andy, very nice kit.

Great build and presentation.

Another really informative video showcasing what looks to be a great kit. I've made several purchases now based solely on viewing these videos. Keep them coming. Cheers! :)

Another great video and build Andy! 👍👌👏

Damn Andy's got skills... great job!

Hi Andy, very nice model and thanks for the video.

Good job Andy! You did a good job on the camo scheme and the weathering. Keep up the great work!

Great job Andy. Will have to get this one. Keep up the great videos.

Very nice job Andy I think I will have to pick this one up

Looks like fun

Great build and vid, Andy. Thanks for sharing :)

Nice video and build Andy !!! looks like a nice kit.. so nice That I just ordered one seconds after watching the Video !

Thanks for making the t-34

That's an interesting looking model I've never seen a T-34 with German markings

Super inspirativni a skvele video.Dekuji za nej.Take mne tento model od Academy ceka,takze se moho inspirovat.Jen tak dal,a tesim se na dalsi tvoje videa Andy.

Great Job Andy!

I like that the front and rear fenders are separate.

I like the way you do your models ,I don't have the money for all paint you use

Great bild Andy!!thanks for posting!!!!greetings from out Belgium!

Another great video Andy keep them coming buddy love the paint job

awesome channel/great store/Show Low AZ

Nice build

Very nice!

Nice Job! I've really got to adapt your chipping technique. Looks great!

beautiful model!

Very cool!

Great stuff Andy! Keep the content coming mate!

Impresionante el trabajo Andy

Thanks for video, nice kit, nice build, nice paint)

Just to let you know, the drums weren't for fuel, it was a weapon, unfortunately I didn't hear all about it though. Love all your videos

Great in depth video. Love it

Awesome build Andy! I hope you do a Takom King Tiger w/zimmerit and interior when you get one!

Great vid and nice kit from Academy

nice video and a great bult maybe next the german kv-1 and 2 ?

Beautifull!!!!!!!

Love these tutorials!

nice build and the paint looks good too. i have to spend many time more of training to get this high build quality.

Hey Andy any chance your next build could be the Meng A7V Sturmpanzerwagen? I'm considering buying one and think I'll need some pointers. Plus it would go well with the whippet that you built. Keep up the great work!

Good job!

Good job! I like your videos!!!

very cool video again Andy mate

The Cupola on that model rightly is the German one put in there to help the German commanders. Look closely it is the same as Pz III!

Have you checked out the takom king tiger? It's got a complete interior in three versions with to-scale armour thickness. So sweet!

Nicely done, I was having some doubts as you progressed, but as usual the end result is excellent. By the way i also enjoyed The music ( Nutcracker?)

i hope this kit will enter my country soon

Awesome work! :)

looks like a winter camo with the black and white

good looking finished model! i build the T34/85 berlin kit from academy and it builds up very similar. i see you made the same mistake i have made, the hull MG port is to deep inside. i did this as well and it took me quite some time to fix it. keep making these great videos mate! they are very educational!

this is a good video!

5:30 Holy Cats Andy. Is that the biggest file you could find??? I have a belt sander I can lend you if that didn't do the job...Just kidding. Amazing job as always. Look forward to each and every production you make.

Good Job Andy. Those tracks didn't look great though. Camo looks fantastic

Great kit and build Andy, i did the dragon T34-76 and it was the worse kit iv ever put together, fit was terrible and i couldnt even get the turret basket close to fitting.

hi guy,s when are you going to finish the train diorama looking forward to seeing it

Another great job Andy! Looks like a great kit. Like that fact they enable you to build so many different variants. Thank you again. BTW what type of air brush do you use and do you sell them.

Hi Andi! Awesome job both in building and in painting! Could you build, if it's possible, the Moblepanzer IV Flakpanzer by Tamiya? Thank You!

Everything looks better in German three tone camo. Even a T34.

when are you completing the train diorama? can't wait to see it

NIce

Please build a IS-2 tank sometime soon

What pressure do you have your airbrush at? mine always seems to bombard it with paint, and I probably have the touch of a baby elephant

I think the Germans used a lot of the captured T34 in Italy. I think the third SS division was the only SS armoured division to use captured T34's.

That Tamiya super thin solvent makes me sick in about 10 minutes. Andy any suggestions?

HI Tony, Im a bit late to commenting, but I am interested in this kit as a beginner to keep in a stash before I get my skill level up to Level 4. I have to ask why you're not using a paint booth? Is it necessary or not for certain spray painting jobs?

Will build you a French tank model ? (french fan, sorry for my english ^^) Nice build ! Thank you :) !

im just back to making models again after a long lay off so i fancy starting back with this one .Fantastic vid as normal just one question what colours did you use for the camo.

Very nice video and will you do some british or russian armor(with russian markings) i really love british and russian tanks like t-34 or cromwell churchill things like that, my first 1:35 scale model was a churchill mk.VII from tamiya and it was great and easy to build and i would love seeing you build it

do you gloss coat then decal with set and sol then dull coat? btw the guys at my local hobby shop said not to spray tamiya flat over the decal?

Is that little box on the back of the turret a turret basket? I thought a turret basket was a special piece of floor attached to the turret so that the floor spins with turret rotation (so your legs dont get mangled by machinery spinning around when you arent ready for it) and that t-34s didnt have one? You see boxes like that tagged on the back of tanks by the british for putting radios in.
