This video is the complete build and review of the upcoming release from Tamiya of the Sherman M4A3E8 kit # 35346
This is not the re-box of the Tasca Asuka EZ8 This is a all new tooled kit due out in Mid December.
This fine crafted kit was a pleasure to put together and its fit was perfect. I started to , by request, to paint this kit up as the fury Sherman. Hope you enjoy it.
I would like to thank Tamiya USA for providing us a early copy of the kit for this video.

This is the first Andy's Hobby Headquarters video I ever watched, so many years ago. Amazing to see where he is now!

@michaeltruhett4170 7 лет назад

You're the only guy I know that can get away with building the whole model without a drop of paint and then afterwards you've made it look like you've spent months painting it and putting it together. Crazy! You are one bad ass modeler my friend. 👍🏻

@alansmodelmaking1558 8 лет назад

Incredible that you have put this up so quickly! Thank you so much for the incredible build on a new kit!

A commentator once said that Fred Astaire made everyone want to dance and that Gene Kelly made everyone think he could dance...that's how Andy's videos are when it comes to model building.

@samfiadrangus9188 4 года назад

Andy, thank you so much for posting such detailed and informative videos! Like my father did with me, my young son and I have totally gotten into building tanks and it's awesome. Our models look sooooo much better than the ones I built as a kid back in the early 80's. Your videos are a big part of that. I just placed an online order with your shop. Great prices, great selection. I'm glad I can do something to give back for you sharing your skills with us. Keep on with the videos, we love them!

@georgewilson5303 Год назад

@joelfernandez2333 7 лет назад

I have always been putting together 1/35 Tamiya tanks ever since they came out in the 80s. That brand is the best. Easy to follow instructions and easy to assemble too. I really recommend them to all levels of tank hobbies.

@davidolie8392 6 лет назад

There's an E8 parked as a monument at a former military base about 130km from my home. It was war surplus bought up from the US and served with the Canadian Army in Korea. This kit looks perfect to model it. I'll have to free-hand the markings, which should be quite a challenge.

@PC800Fixes 3 года назад

@@PC800Fixes Cornwallis, Annapolis Co., Nova Scotia. Since I posted this the tank has been removed, to where I have no idea.

@russellgosselin3325 8 лет назад

Awesome build and review. I always enjoy watching your build videos. . . I think it is the classical music :) Moreover, like how you display the instruction sheet. Looking forward to acquiring this kit someday. Unfortunately, I need to whittle down the stash first!

@BokorChannel 8 лет назад

Looks good I didn't see this when it first came out I'm subbed to about 40 or 50 people so yea

@crazylady201162 4 года назад

getting ready to start on this kit, I got it for Christmas but was working on a few other kits I already had. I know what ya mean with the carpet color, mine is green, I use a flashlight at different angles, even shining at floor level to try and find them lill' jumpers. thank you for sharing

@scottkut6622 2 года назад

I just moved into a new house and my previous workspace was a grey concrete floor in the basement, I could usually find those jumpers pretty quickly. Well this house I am on the main floor with a wooden floor. In order to protect the wood floor I bought matting, the type you might see in a gym. This stuff is indestructible! In that respect it is great, but the black color means it absorbs parts like the olive drab parts of this kit like a sponge! I think white colored plastic would be welcomed. 3/4 done with the build and it is, as expected, and like Andy has said, a joy to put to together. Cheers!

@theshitheads3178 4 года назад

I had a lot of trouble with the seam on the turret. With the cast texture, it's not a matter of simply filling and smoothing. I had great luck with using Tamiya surface primer to fill the seam. After sanding mostly smooth I used a sponge soaked with extra thin cement to dab along the seam. It recreated the cast texture nearly perfectly. You can be messy with it, as the actual cast texture on these turrents wasn't nearly as smooth as the model represents.

@multipl3 Год назад

This kit basically puts itself together! No problems at all. I notice you forgot to drill the holes in the forward hull

@AFV85 4 года назад

Iv got this easy 8 and the fury kit what I did notice was when putting the boggies on the fury kit was abit easier having the longer pins to install them iv had a couple through time fall off on the tamyia e8 kit using same CA I'm using the lighter quick setting one now all the time I think its alot better at holding just need to watch out for finger prints if not used to using the glue

@richardtallent8175 6 лет назад

Great kit!☺, currently working on one. Great fit, but on the downside, missing some details. Such as no tow cables/ or nylon string. Also molded on hach handles. Otherwise great buy for the money. Great video. Regular subscriber here. Thanks.

@MrSnakeplissken81 8 лет назад

Awesome work! Thank you for your videos they are very detailed and very helpful. I was wondering what type of airbrush you use in your vids?

There should be long grab handles in this kit to hook the logs around I done exactly the same with my E8 kit haha

Wow, I'm so excited about the release of this kit - I couldn't believe I stumbled onto a full build of it!! Kit looks amazing! I recently completed the Academy M4A3E8 and, while it wasn't too difficult and built up into a nice model, it was far more fiddly (from what I saw on your build) than this new Tamiya offering. Great video and I instantly subscribed! Thanks for showing us this... do you have any idea when the kit will be available for purchase?

Andy, I just finished building the Tamiya Easy Eight Sherman, using some ideas from your video. Many thanks! I noticed you glue onto painted surfaces. How does that glue hold? I'm used to removing paint prior to gluing or using Elmer's. BTW, I have the new Sherman on my shelf alongside a 1970's Tamiya [motorized] Sherman, one of my first kits! Tamiya has a 1/35 Sherman Firefly on their website; hope you get one soon!

@haydenagnew7522 3 года назад

When you complete the tank up to the airbrushing stage, instead of airbrushing can you use Tamiya spray cans at the exact same level of completion in the kit. or do you have to paint it earlier and in smaller parts if using spray can.

@matistefan3780 5 лет назад

Hi Andy !!! sorry for my late question but i want know if you remember of course what kind of wood did you use in your "fury" sherman model ?

@jameskennedy2326 8 лет назад

What paint did you use for the olive drab? Also when I am going to put this kit together I'd like to know if there is an obvious line where the bottom of the hull meets the top? Thanks

@vicparratt7523 8 лет назад

Hi Andy Love the way you do your build videos just straight forward build and paint and I love the classical music. One question do you use enamel or acrylic paints? Vic Parratt (England)

@AndysHobbyHeadquarters 8 лет назад

+Vic Parratt Thank you

@robholton8153 6 лет назад

Vic, All the Tamiya and Vallejo paints are acrylic, easy to use and keep your equipment clean. I often use oil paints as well it is well worth experimenting because once you seal it with some TS 80 you can just keep layering anything that you want. Acrylics dry so quickly that you can just paint and paint layer after layer with virtually no down time .

@nbk2r4w 7 лет назад

Hi Andy. I was wondering what you used to attach the value gear packs to the tank. Any reason you didnt use the tamiya glue?

@sairousairou2135 7 лет назад

Value Gear are resin parts, so normal cement will not stick them.

@graysmodels2236 3 года назад

I always seem to miss you put the tracks on🤔

@dastrev761 7 лет назад

What is the cement you are using? Does it dry fairly quickly? I know it is sped up, but seems like you're going through very quickly. I am probably going to buy this fairly soon and that cement seems to work very well.
