Rye Field Model Tiger I Middle Production  

Thank you 😁

Thank you very much. I am glad I inspired you to start yours. It takes huge amount of time but it is very rewarding. Good luck with your build.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful.

Glad it was helpful! Cheers!

I did not knew as well. They might be new kits. What is the brand? Also are they in 1:35 scale?

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks man. You should definitely need to build one of these. The amount of detail is phenomenal and the final result very rewarding. At the same time everything fit together the way they suppose. However equip yourself with patience. I am building mine from November and still have like a month to finish it. I will check your channel.

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you like it

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you for your kind words but I think you overexaggerate. I feel like just ok modeller especially compared to other RU-vid modellers (like Nightshift or Plasmo). All it takes is time and energy, valuable things that money cannot buy unfortunately. I struggle to find both the last months but hopefully will get better :)

Enjoy 😊... there is no turning back now 🤣.

Thanks. My Tiger is safe from ammo hit :)

Thanks 👍

It has other problems too, such as internal fittings that don't belong on a later "Mid Tiger".

@@daveybyrden3936 Hello Davey, yes you're correct. Found this out later after my original post.

That is very interesting and I was not aware of that. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much really appreciated. The colour I used for the floor is Vallejo 71.050 Light grey.

Yes, there's a big difference between a modeller and a kit-sticker.

Very very hard! Sorry it was impossible to film this part and I do not 100% remember the process. Just take your time and apply very sparse super glue. Also to be honest at the end, all the PE at the bottom of the hull were barelly visible.

Thanks. Those will be the tank book and the haynes manual Tiger I. Great books and quite inexpensive.

Yes I see what you mean. I had to open my reference book. Thanks for the highlight.

Thanks. You will enjoy this kit I believe. For reference I mainly used the Haynes manual Tiger tank (quite popular series here in UK) and "The Tank book" that I got from Bovington museum.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners I’m in New York but I always watch tank chats and the RU-vid videos they have. I’m gonna see if they’ll ship it for me. Thanks pal

I hope you got it before Christmas :)

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Me too buddy… I was gonna order it from the tank museum to help support them but the book is 50 dollars without shipping. Amazon has it and can overnight it for $20. I’ve donated to them because I love the history but that’s a bit much… lol

@@tjm7275 the donation is a very kind gesture and they deserve every penny. They doing amazing job preserving historical tanks.

I mixed 71.108 Vallejo Model Air - Azure Blue with some grey (70-30% ratio). I do not remember the type of grey.

From Google translat "Honestly its looks like a Tiger 1 inside". Response: yeap that was the plan 😁

Sorry about that. When I started filming I completely mixed up the parts and I needed to start over. Then I was too frustrated to film it.

I got mine through e-bay (second hand). But I am sure you can find it to all model shops.

Totally agree with you. The main issue is, as you highlighted, the armour thickness. A King tiger for example would be quite easy to replicate the armour thickness while a Panzer 1 almost impossible as the thickness of the required plastic cannot hold the model. I saw some accurate 1:35 kits in terms of armour thickness but again not for every area (turret roof for example).

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners A Panzer would probably be possible in styrene if built from sheet stock in 1/35th*. Using .010", and .015". Possibly even .005". Certainly with metal shim stock. Not easy I imagine. Beyond me I know that. In terms of what is possible in paper models take a look at the prototypes on the Halinski web site. Theres a Sherman Firefly and a JU 88. The JU 88 has folding landing gear. Then theres the one guy who has spent years build a 777 out of Manila folders. Working flaps. The engine reverses move. And then theres the 1/96th Scale Crawler from the Apollo Program from MicroArtWork.com. If the builder goes whole hog the parts count is somewhere North of 14,000. He has a free download on the website for the swing arm that mated up with the Command Module. The instructions for the kit are in Adobe where you can rotate the assembly in 3 dimensions and zoom in. Something every high quality kit maker could learn from. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.halinski.com.pl/indexgb.php&ved=2ahUKEwjc7cmVkYDzAhVcAp0JHdmxAPwQFnoECAsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1q9J2XTGBlMCl-UY706-lJ www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.lucaiaconistewart.com/model-777&ved=2ahUKEwi28r_OkYDzAhVGBs0KHagiAuAQFnoECAYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1e4Ra1dWg6SRP2itUAkClW www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.microartwork.com/Products/prodindex.htm&ved=2ahUKEwiN8rHhkoDzAhWLXc0KHV4cAUIQFnoECAgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1RI1nyenklvsuclR6gUb1N.

Just amazing work they did. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Indeed. This is why I turned to scratch building everything in 1/20th scale. I don't ever buy kits.

The kit costed me £40 but I got it second hand (like new). The tools I recommend are just the standard ones that you need to assemble any plastic model kit: liquid cement, a hobby knife, sanding stick, a tweezer, some clamps and a masking tape. I hope I did not forgot anything important.

Thanks man have a good day

Good question. I was quite worried that the movable parts might fall apart along the build. The glued sections are quite deep into the hall and if something snapped, it will be a nightmare to fix it. Saying that, I really enjoyed the RFM Sherman with both workable tracks and suspensions. However in the case of Sherman, the assembled movable parts are far more robust than the Tiger.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners am going to build this with the visible top part, paint it for half of it and the cupola I will make one side transparent ans maybe the top, not sure yet. Will have the movable tacks and suspension though. Will get the rfm Panther G late too later.

Sounds like a solid plan. Good luck with both your projects :)

Actually it is painted grey but watching the video again, it looks like unpainted on screen.

Sorry what do you mean?

who author first track with guitar?

@@alekseipak it is Kevin MacLeod

This is the Haynes manual Tiger I. Very nice and inexpensive book (at least here in UK).

It is certainly is :)

Where to buy such a model, and what kind of company it is

The company is call Rye Field Model and you can buy from pretty much all the modelling sites, amazon or ebay. Worth to check scalemates as well: www.scalemates.com/kits/rye-field-model-rm-5010-tiger-i-middle-production--1016365

Google translation "It seems to be difficult to paint the shells separately". Answer: Yes it was. To be honest I did not liked the way RFM moulded the shells with the brackets.

Bias?

Good

Sorry to hear that but I personally like it.

I am not expert on Tiger tanks therefore I could not tell the mistakes. From the few pictures I compared with the real thing it looks quite accurate (taking into account the scale).
