@@henschelporsche1 You commented that you switch to 16th scale due to poorer eye sight. There is even bigger scale jeep from Dragon. 1/6 to consider. 😊😊
Thanks! I can understand - the model itself is so detailed that leaving out the wiring works would be such a waste to complete this model. Also the wirings seems quite simple to do, just that the other wire ends I did not have a clue where to attach 😉
@@henschelporsche1 Are you talking about the center wire from the distributor? It goes into the coil Do the hinged seats come that way with the kit,or did you need to modify them? I'm just now adding the body panels.
the distributor wires were ok to understand but some of the wires from the dash side I had to guess. No the hinges I had to make them, the kit comes in fixed position only. Good luck with your build!!✌
@@henschelporsche1 thank you. You are a wonderful builder. I'm just now getting to the seats...yup For the price point this is an amazing kit..I'm having lots of fun. Like you and your son, I've been building 1/35th since I was little. I'm 63 now. This kit has gotten me hooked on this scale.
Salut j'ai aussi acheté le kit mai pas encore monté j'ai vue tout l'ai détails que vous avez apporté toujours top vaux maquette hje suis fanne merci beaucoup pour votre partage le pare brise j'adore 😉👍👍👍gege 62 France
Merci gege62 ! Je suis ravi de vous donner de l'inspiration pour construire ce nouveau kit. Le kit est génial et vous n'aurez jamais de problèmes pour l'assembler, il s'adapte très bien. C'est la première fois que je travaille sur un modèle américain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale depuis les années 70 et je suis content que cela se soit bien passé.
Hello! Really well done, it looks fantastic, great attention to details! I'm building one myself and I was wondering what kind of vinyl tube did you use for the engine wiring system? thank you very much
Thanks !! The thin ones were bought from a hobby shop car part section and the thicker ones were from eBay electrical wires - you can pick any sizes you want with various vinyl cover colours
Je pense que vous pouvez voir les détails du schéma de peinture dans la vidéo, mais en bref, j'ai essentiellement recouvert la base d'argent, puis j'ai appliqué de la peinture vert citron. Scellez ensuite avec du vernis et peignez la couleur olive terne finale à l'acrylique Vallejo. Avant qu'il ne soit complètement sec, j'ai appliqué le diluant pour émail pour le rendre plus faible afin de pouvoir faire des rayures pour révéler la peinture vert clair sous-jacente. J'espère que cela pourra aider!
Merci pour ces précisions cela va m’aider effectivement. La marque de la peinture métallique et de la peinture vert citron est-elle aussi une acrylique Vallejo ?
@@MrLamarguerite Cela dépend de l'étendue de l'usure, vous pouvez soit exposer la couche supérieure vert clair, soit plus profondément la couche de métal argenté, j'ai trouvé cela assez amusant à faire, profitez-en !!
I wish 1/16 was a more popular scale. It's fabulus. I scratch built a RC 9'8"" FAC (small ship class), using Estes model rockets for Exocet missles, and in this scale, ALL major naval gun calibers can be bought in ordinary boxes of bullet calibers to simulate 3-5-6-8" ship shells. RC aircraft are VERY buildable in this scale also. I wish this could be a much more standard scale for figures as well as all types of vehicals.......
That is my wish too! I see 16th scale has become more popular in the last 10 years after some German and Japanese model companies took over from Tamiya;s role of producing 16th scale tanks. I believe the reason it becomes more popular is that the modelers in 70s who built a lot of 35th scale now has turned to middle age and can afford lot expensive toys and afford bigger houses to display them. For me, I also built 35th scale with my son but that scale could never satisfy our needs as an middle age adult. I believe that's why even 1/6 scale tanks are popular amongst some of the older wealthy people that longing for huge scale.
As far as armor subjects are concerned, 1/16 has been gaining traction within the last few years. I have 24 1/16 vehicles and tanks in my collection and that number will grow with every release. Not only is it great for aging eyes because of the larger parts and that more detail can be added, but I find it really conveys the bulk and heft of armored vehicles better than 1/35. That being said, I still have a very large amount of 1/35 kits.
Have fun with it, I really enjoyed the build, looking toward to seeing the Puma coming out next year and let’s hope they will make a 1/16 Famo too in the coming days!
Another fantastic video. I also have this kit, and I will be using this video as my reference. Did you do any modifications to the frame? I believe there is a section of the frame that is supposed to be boxed in that this kit misses. How did you find the quality of the details on the gun?? Some say it could be replaced with a better 3D printed one, but I have not seen any examples of this. The kit does however need a better face on the driver. It looks to smooth like a store manikin. This is NO reflection on your work!! You can only do as good as some of the parts sometimes. Thanks again for your work. AMAZING
This is the first time I work on a 16th scale GI vehicle, and I really don’t have much study on the jeep, not sure about what you mentioned regarding this frame issue. But I found most of the details checked out accurately with the real photos. I only modified a bit on the seat and that is. Of course you could also add wires to the wipers on the windshield which I didn’t do. And you are right about the figure face it looks awkward no matter how you paint, I should have swapped it with a better one. The 50 cal M2 is so so and you can always replace with a Aber one but the weigh might be an issue.
@@henschelporsche1 Thanks for the reply I will look into the Aber one. Are you doing any 3D printing? I can find decent quality files for armor figures etc. Im just looking for items to justify the purchase. I will look to see who it was that commented on the frame and let you know. Cheers
@@henschelporsche1 My son has one of the dry ones as I call it, not the one with the resin bath. So with his, the resolution isn't that great for anything fine. What he has told me is the one with the bath produces the highest resolution and detail, but is has a few disadvantages. It can be a little smelly, and then you have to cure the items with UV. I figure with all the custom stuff many modelers will do, this isn't much of a disadvantage with all our stinky paints etc. I keep searching the 3Dimage web sites for figures etc, but have not found any that people are willing to share, or sell. As soon as I can find/buy some decent files, Im going out for a printer. That my excuse and im sticking to it. Do you have an email in case I find something? Cheers, KJ
@@hobbyhands976 thanks for sharing the info on 3D printing! I do have in mind the same wet resin type printer and would seriously do some research to purchase one next year as making those custom parts by hand not as good as printing. Could be much cheaper to print figures than buy them online. I do come across some 3d file website with nice 16th scale figures, perhaps you could forward to me if you have any in hand : customtankfigure@gmail.com thanks in advance!
Great job my friend! Your models not only look good but the videos show the true passion and enjoyment you have for the hobby. Wonderful to see.
Thanks! Yes I will continue this passion till I die. I will have a new video coming out today so stay tuned my friend!!
GREAT, best build of the Jeep so far ..
Like all your other work...perfection!
Well done. It looks great.
Thanks bro!!
It's the video of this takom kit I searched for that lead me to your channel. Thanks for sharing the tip.
Hope that helps and inspires you !😀

As always a superb job
Excellent work!
Im about halfway finished with mine. You have inspired me to go back and wire the engine...lol

I am in my late 50s and my eyes not that well to work on 35th, also 16th is a great scale for adding details like these hinges 😀

Thank you! It is now back to German vehicles- a large scale Kubelwagen 1/9 😀
Looks amazing
Bonjour, superbe travail. Pouvez-vous m'indiquer l'ensemble des références de primer et peintures utilisés ? Merci
Je pense que vous pouvez voir les détails du schéma de peinture dans la vidéo, mais en bref, j'ai essentiellement recouvert la base d'argent, puis j'ai appliqué de la peinture vert citron.

Merci pour ces précisions cela va m’aider effectivement. La marque de la peinture métallique et de la peinture vert citron est-elle aussi une acrylique Vallejo ?
J'ai juste utilisé de l'acrylique Tamiya pour l'argent et le vert clair
C'est exactement ce que je pensais utiliser pour ma jeep 1/6 dragon. Continuez à nous faire rêver, merci pour ce que vous faites.

great video adn amazing tips adn skills! but the music is awful.
Noted!
It is really nicely made. Can front wheels turn on it??
Yes it is steerable
Great work - can you please tell me what lighter green you used?
I mixed that color as a lime green to apply as a base coat.
Thanks for the reply. I really like the look of the tools - it would be very helpful to know how you did them! @@henschelporsche1
Nicely done sir! It's good to see you took the time to add some extra detail to this kit as it cries out for it.
Amazing job. I'm just about finished with mine... currently working on the side panels
