Tamiya Mtl.SPW Sd.kfz.251/1 Ausf.D 1/35 - Assembly | The Inner Nerd 

How do you get the colour

It is a good kit even though it is getting on a bit now. Sounds like you have a lot to get your teeth into there, best of luck and thanks for watching :)

Thank you! The painting part is coming soon and will include all the interior detailing

Just watched it. Excellent 'how to' on painting and weathering.... Great stuff!

That poor brush

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

Joe's Model Kits Thanks Joe! The painting part is already uploaded m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b4MUlNg0AV8.html go have a look :)

The Inner Nerd Many thanks for that, I have just clicked the link and now I shall go and watch it. I am sure that it will be great. Many thanks for the link, Joe

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

Thank you! There will be some shots of the completed model in the next video once painted ☺

The D version is hands and above the old version. The old one is from the late 60's, the D is from the early 2000's I think

montrevant - the A variant was produced by Tamiya in the early 1970s and it was a jewel, mostly because of the 5 realistic panzer grenadier figures that came with the kit; one of those was made to be firing the MG to the front, which was as cool as could be in those days. As far as accuracy in model halftracks go, these kinds of vehicles are an engineering nightmare to build(notice that no army uses them anymore) and to make a model kit of one that's sturdy enough to be handled, yet have adequate gluing spots and still have any details can be a kit - designer's nightmare. Most kits I have seen are a mostly unsatisfactory compromise. This one looks good, though, and I will very likely build it - and probably have the Tamiya 5-man panzer grenadiers keeping it company!

I am sorry but you are wrong on "engineering nightmare" It was actal much lesser complicated and therefore cheaper to produce and faster to produce than a fully tracked wagon. The reason of why they went to only to produce fully tracked wagons is the simpel facts that the price difference today compared with the tactical advantages of being fully tracked is much lesser than during and before wwII.

Patrick Drohan cool

I think this one is a rebox yes. The kit is apparently the same but artwork rebranded to Tamiya's most recent. Thanks for watching :)

Thank you and welcome back to model building! I now have commentary on my later videos so if you watch those it will explain what I use. I am using Tamiya paints in this video and the glue is Tamiya Extra thin. I use a Harder and Steenbeck Evolution Silverline with 0.2mm nozzle for all my work

Thank you. And yes this was the time when I didn't really understand how to use putty correctly so didn't use any at all. And as my 2nd ever armour kit didn't fully understand all the processes in armour modelling. Luckily now I know and get those gaps filled nicely

@@TheInnerNerd I built a similar kit by tamiya not long ago, when done properly using tamiya super thin glue which weld parts togheter you actually dont need putty if so very minimal, the plastic welds togheter for a seamless finish.

Well that's the price you pay for better accuracy, especially AFV club halftracks....

Not that I can recall. Putty goes straight onto the plastic but I thinned the putty with poly cement if that’s what you mean

hi, arrival to earth - transformers

Green98sav thanks very much

welcome

Okay thanks for the tip! I always do something wrong or put something on backwards lol. Luckily you don’t see it once it’s build hey 😆

Does he have photos of him & the other men in the unit with his Hanomag? I am sure you would find inspiration from his photos to make a model of his Hanomag! :) His photos would also provide many ideas for where the crew stored their gear, any field modifications they made, and other interesting details. :)

Richard Nevermore The interior panels are painted beifre assembly to aid the process. As you can access all of the exterior parts once assembled its makes sense to paint after assembly. Depends on the model though and the ease of access to individual parts. Hope this answers your question!

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

I thought that too especially compared to my Tiger which is if the same scale. Tamiya does say its a 1/35 though on the box 🤔

@@TheInnerNerd I know i see my mine ompared to some panzer 3 and 4 and wonder if ist a true scale.

I use Tamiya extra thin cement. You can also get Tamiya regular cement in the same brush pot too. Mr Hobby also makes a brush on extra thin cement

That's strange since this kit hasn't changed since 1995. Maybe you have a different variant? You can see the kit timeline hee to check which version you have. www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-35195-sdkfz251-1-ausfd--133017 Thanks for watching :)

@@TheInnerNerd yeah i found out why but thanks for your answer

No need to correct myself, you've done it for me :)

Howard Fortyfive Yeah I go outside all the time but I wash my hands afterwards with soap and water, you know?

Howard Fortyfive I didn't know clean hands were a bad thing

Thank you and thanks for watching! :)
