Too bad you didn't show how you made tracks. Otherwise great videos 🙂

Hi, love your stuff. Just a question as to why you take the time to glue tac accessories to the upper structure, and then take then off? I get the lower hull reason 100%. Seems like wasted work if they are going to be painted alone? If it was just for the fully assembled look though I get it. Maybe I missed that part. Your weathering paint and wash detail helped me a lot to up my game.

I bought this full interior Takom kit a few years ago. I was so excited when I got this kit. It started off well then went down hill after that. There were numerous fit issues and like this video, the upper hull was warped and eventually gave up on this kit.

Thank you for this great build series. I am currently building this model and your videos not only helped me max my build, it taught me usable things that I look for in every how to. Especially the use of glue tac and weathering style in this case.

Ottimo lavoro. Peccato qui non posso caricare mie lavori. Per il nero dei motori e canna cannone io uso un pastello nero ad olio che elascia dei residui corposi poi lo proteggo con vinavil diluito con acqua. I passo un pò di steel sui spigoli e punti di contatto ruote

Normalmente un modellista prova prima se i pezzi combaciano e se occore scartavetrare. Per me la tanto decantata colla Tamya ha poca aderenza e uso la Revell ad ago.

Brilliant kit. You convinced me of buying it immediately. However while viewing the build, change the music. Why not Edvard krieg or whatever. But not the annoying,... Like to see the painting and the weathering. Also , like you, I'm surprised by the quality of the figures. Knowing Tamiya, they are excellent in everything that runs, but the figures, I used to throw them away. But, hornet, warrior ,alpine prices are now ridiculous, you pay the double or even more instead of the kit. Thanks for showing this. Bravo! For Tamiya on the figures.

I noticed that you didn’t thin your gray primer. Did it leave a gritty feel after it dried ?

Great work. I love how you didn’t edit out the tail fender falling off on the first glue attempt

Oh, and excellent work Sir!

One thing that continues to bemuse me is the sometimes reflexive use of putty mixed with liquid cement to form armor “texture.” I get it if the kit is devoid of injection molded detail in this regard. Nor do the turrets and casemate need more material on them to stand out. I don’t hear the explanation here for why it seems the sides of the upper hull and turret were slathered with texture. To my mind, on a high end kit, these added elements are to be avoided absent a patent need for such. Every artist is free to use license to make their own designs and elements, but I’d like to know why they are making those choices so we can have a helpful dialogue. I think the many novice modelers who see the armor texturing will believe they are “missing out” and potentially ruin a build (I know, it happened to me), for such aggressive elements it should be clearly stated as to why IMHO

1. I’ll never use the dozen bottles of Stymlrez primer I bought again; it’s gum-like. Almost like liquid mask. 2. Mr. Brucca: when can we see you do some “heavies “ like the Konigstiger or Jagdtiger?

Why not using the correct primer color.?????

Just watched all three video’s on the panzer 1v g. Great build and painting/wethering. Like your style of presenting.

Great job, i like the camouflage 👌

Thats a f2, but the framed tires on side shouldn't be there

I must have gotten the wrong kit. The Instructions were not complete , oh the numbered steps were all there but little detail in how some parts were to go together the tracks were the worst . Came with 2 sets of tracks so one side was of one type and the other side well you get the drift. that's because there was an insufficient number of pieces to build two of the same tracks.

"I rode a tank, held a General's rank - when the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank!"

Your interpretation of the hobby art is perfect and I think it's exactly what the art is . Too many guys get hung up on "rivet" counting. I try to be fairly accurate technically. But it is a fun hobby art and interpretation is the final product. And keeping it in scale... You have done very well with the pin wash . And great tonal appearance . Bravo!!!

Hey buddy thank you for the preview and insight into the build! Very nice build and paint job Cool choices

Glad to see a modeler from the northeast. From Boston Rick who’s now retired and lives in Florida.

Excellent techniques -well done sir

Absolutely amazing work! Greetings from Las Vegas, Nevada

Awesome

I have the new Cut away Mid version on order from RFM cant wait to see what this cut away is like for the new Full interior MiD

I don't think Tiger 100 had the tow cables on it anyway ornthe crowbar i have this kit aswell and see they have put a type A and type.B for added cables up top amd as for the new cupola i don't know what im missing but its exactly the same as the one on the sprue i have anyway all bolts line up the same im confused on this one even looking at the one you show side by side there the same! I read the sprokets were inaccurate this im looking into! I have the 3 in 1 dragon kit kit 6600 it it has this kit in it im building that first as its upgraded with new parts to build this tiger but dragons tiger 100 bix art itself is all wrong just crazy stuff!

Man I miss your videos!

What else is wrong with the picture, smoke throwers dont become black when the smoke isnt black.

I can do that crap, where's the interior!

Great-looking Panther! I'm still not sure if the zimmerit application was 100% kit or whether you added to it, but it totally makes the build! Excellent technique throughout, well done!

Hi this is awesome. Great job. I've been building the same model last few months and your shading methods and chipping techniques have helped me tremendously bring it to real life. How do you fade the decals? Just a very light base coat over it? Thank you

What kit did you find the small pistol port or did you add it yourself?

This video earned you a fan. I like the anger.

Which tiger is this? Early, mid, late?

Ive seen people mess up the wirecutters. But never this bad. If you want to get it right, i have a video on my channel about what they really look like.

I built the RFM Initial Tiger1 as my first Armour in years. Hated the tracks & used Fruilmodel metal ones instead. Glad it’s not just me!

Fantastic series of three videos. I've learnt a lot of techniques. Beautiful camouflage pattern and weathering. I've purchased this kit and your work will be very helpful. Thanks for sharing. May I have a question ❓. You've changed the tracks? Friul ones? The kit tracks aren't good enough? Cheers and best regards from France 🐕‍🦺🐾🐈🐾

I totally agree on lightening up base tamiya colors to allow for weathering which is going to darken the contrast, I learned the hard way, washes and filters can do this aka weathering

That’s a great looking Tiger you’ve got there.!..Really like your painting and weathering methods and going to try them on my Tiger.But your result looks both striking and looks like that Tiger means business..Thank you and all the best from the U.K..🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

Do you experience silvering later on due to not using a gloss coat prior to decals? Or do you use a coat and just didn’t film it?

Nice video. I just got this kit as a gift. Can’t wait to start it.

What is the rating for RFM's Tiger 1?

I like that you don't go overkill with chipping.

Looks great. Tamiya paints are fantastic but way too dark out of the can.

Bordor model's have just relised this tiger 100 you can make the other one with the panzer 3 bin from the kit aswell inky the exhausts are different I've noticed they are slightly above the engine deck with a few luvers cut into them facing the engine deck it's strange? Maybe they have just stuck the wrong one's on hopefully there's more than one type on the sprues! I have thus RFM one you built I liked it alot! There new one with new tooled engine and Zimmerit will be interesting!

Great tamiya kit as usual!and nise weathiring effect and painting!

Another top vid. Love those figures. Really helps bring the kit to life.

Great and entertaining vid. Been after an initial Tiger for ages now.

one of the best looking completed Tiger 1 tank

Just bought this kit-cheers, top vid.
