Thanks. I just had to measure it with my caliper as there is no indication on the reel. It is 0.3mm

Yes I agree. Phenomenal fitting even when the pieces are painted and incredible detail.

Not much detail I am afraid to add figures. But there is some detail as you can see in my videos

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you. I went over the top for this kit due to the historical significance. I think the extra effort is shown to the final result.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners certainly is. I have a fleet of over 50 ships 1:350 scale all WWII, I'll never get to your level, but I do have fun building them

@@skunkworksalpha7868 very impressive. As I do not have a lot of shelves space I try to make the most out of each kit. I only finished 4 ships so far (mixed WWI and II plus a modern Japanese). I think my next build will be the Hood. Next year maybe.

Glad you enjoyed it. And yes individual tracks are not for everyone.

Thank you 😁

That was my initial thought when I tried to fit the back subassembly pieces, that I did something wrong. However after discussing with other modellers, this is a well known issue that came across almost anyone. What I would do different was to try modify, cut the pieces and fill with putty while were unpainted and dry fit them before start paint them.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Building one now. Will definitely take your advice.

Hi there. You chose quite challenging kit for your first model. I think you will have better chances if you go back and forward through the instructions and assemble as much as possible before start painting. I tried in the past to paint first all the individual colours and then put them on the model but gluing them painted as they are is always a challenge. I hope I help you a little bit but do not get discouraged as you chose a complicated kit to start.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😀

Me too 😃

Thank you so much 😀

They are not that bad and I certainly prefer them from the individual tracks. I never tried metallic workable tracks before mainly because they are so expensive.

Great kits both of them but I have to say that I enjoyed the Sherman build more even though the Tiger I is my favorite tank. Good luck with your build :)

Many thanks! I think I can understand what you are talking about and I will try to add more explanation in the future videos. Meanwhile let me know if you have any specific questions. I constantly forget the beginners eye and some of the steps (like add more texture) might look odd. I watch a lot of TH-cam master modellers like Nightshift and I guess I take for granted some of the techniques.

Thanks. The 3 large blobs are plastic goo made by melting sprues on a vase with a 100% acetone. I put them to increase the weight of the model and rigidness of the joint but in some places the acetone ate through the plastic and I would not recommend it.

Thank you very much 😊

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I run out of all my standard classical music tracks and I looked for new ones.

Thank you 😊

Sorry! I have fixed then in a straight arrangement now, so you can sleep at night 🤣

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Thank goodness! I’ve been pacing the floors. That is a wonderful space you’ve created. Now I have my work cut out for me to come even close!

Thank you. The body is from the 2.0 and I think it is the S15 lightweight.

Google translation: "Great job! In terms of criticism, I may not be able to help, but... The rails are not all over the body, I know they are removed before shooting, but with rails it would be more spectacular. There are no canvas covers on the turret guns. At least on the bow for sure. The gun embrasures are flooded by a wave, especially in a place like Sevastopol. The rigging is beautiful, but made of thick fishing line, it looks like plastic sticks. Otherwise, great job!". My answer: "Thanks for the constructive criticism, I am always interested for accurate facts of the real ship. You are right about the rigging. I recently discovered the Infini lycra product and the results are amazing and it is so easy to use. I used it at my Bismarck build if you want to check it out."

Thanks David. The more effort you put, the more satisfaction you feel at the end. But I am glad my model came out decent at least. I display it at my living room (the only model my wife allow me) and most people they do not even notice it. But I feel for you for the pondiac, you must spent many hours sanding, painting and varnishing just for a little detail to agitate you.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners It was very noticeable so much so it was like a shadowline on a real car.. it had to be done. got my Routemaster today it had been held up on the amazon website why god knows! all there apart from the decals! sods law. contacted Revell today 2- 4 weeks for a response from their HQ in Germany they dont keep parts/spares here in the uk apparently. I bought an Italeri 1/24 mk 2 ford transit (1982) that will be in red the same as London Transport for a diorama service vehicle 1/24 delivery driver (Hank) on order too..

@davidcurrie8564 Revell have excellent customer service, I have dealt with them in the past. Good luck with your project 😀

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners you too mate! 👍👍👍👍👍

It's not my favourite subject, but I will try to squeeze it to my schedule.

Thank you 😊

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Check out my builds you too. Have a great weekend.

I will definitely do 😃

Thank you very much 😀

Thank you 😊

Thank you very much and you have a good point 😂. But to be fair the kit was decent on Revell's standards off course.

Certainly not but as the fit is phenomenal, I would definitely recommend it as a starter kit for those who want to delve into the full interior kits. You just need sooo much time to finish it.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Being retired definitely helps. I have ordered this one too, I'll get to it in 2026!

@@davidharrington1133 sounds like a good retirement plan 👍

Thanks! 😁

One of the best out there. The full interior Takom King Tiger is on my wish list.

Yes I do. Even though the booth extract most of the particles still some bounce back (I can see them as a mist) to my face so I still use my respirator mask.

Thank you :)

Euxaristo file :)

Thank you very much. Happen to me all the time. I watch videos and discover techniques and tips that I wish I knew.

Thanks man. My dream will be to replace all the custm shelvings with hobbyzone pieces. They are awesome, but my current layout leaves no space. Also, I'm glad you mentioned the music as I spend hours searching for chill and relaxing music.

​@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners I just ordered 3 more Hobby Zone pieces 2 days ago. Really love their products. Thanks for your reply!

You have to claim your hobby room and I know from experience that means dispute with your partner and children. The truth is that it is very rare to have support from your family as to them modelling seems like a waste of space/time. Anyway at the very least you still have your own space. I remember in my previous house I constantly needed to unpack everything from boxes, laying everything out and working on the models for a few days but eventually as we needed the space put everything away and repeat the same process every time I wanted to model.

👋

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks, I love my cave as well. The collection is the Warhammer 40K Legends collection from Hachette. It was a 100 issues subscription with 100 books that cost me £1000 back then (competed 5 years ago). Some people on ebay or Facebook marketplace they sell it for half the price if you are interested.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Epic, that collection is on my list of things to get. Thanks allot🙏

@@dalle5 I hope you get it. Great novels.

It is the BARTSHARP Airbrush - Large Airbrush Spray Booth. I am extremely satisfied with it. See the link below: www.bartsharpairbrush.co.uk/product/large-airbrush-spray-booth-led-lights-sb04/?doing_wp_cron=1705606740.2412900924682617187500

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Thank you! :-)

Glad it was helpful! That was my goal. To make a video build that guides you through the building process. This is also the kind of videos I am watching on TH-cam.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners keep them coming!

@@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas I will definitely will.

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

Any chance your 28mm be Warhammer 40k? I was just wondering if there is interest on painting 40K miniatures.
