Dusan - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I remember seeing a couple of these during the Gulf War in 1991. I was involved in flying the 18th Airborne Corps from Daharan to Raffa. I saw them driving around Daharan and thinking to my self, "I didn't know those were still being used."
Great model!
Thank you for your service. :D
Some things never change. I still use equipment from the 30s where the training movie was filmed in '38.
If it ain't broke...
Thank you very much! Sam, I think the last couple of Sheridans where retired back in the 2007. All the best!! Dusan
Marines had a Gulf War version with some improvements, but most of them were used by NTC OPFOR as Soviet BMP's.
@@InvictusRex0503 nope just 82nd,
3/73 armor, I was there.
"Fun kit to work on" That's true about pretty much every Tamiya kit. The fit is just superb, it's simply relaxing to build Tamiya kits, as it should be :) Fantastic build as usual!
I love your videos man your the best😃👍i like your tamiya tank videos most hope you can do a 1:48 tank again sometime🙂🙃
You're an artist sir!!!!
Another fantastic build and paint job, Dusan (you make it look so easy!) We all look forward to the sequel.
Looks great. Trying to finish mine now. Keep'em coming.
Great result as usual Dusan! Incidentally, the last two background music tracks were particularly good too
I have this kit in my stash and the detail-up set in the mail! Perfect timing. Thank you!
You will enjoy your time with this kit. Thanks!! All the best! Dusan 👍
What an enjoyable build ! Now you have inspired me to pull mine out of the stash and get at it !! 😊
Lovely work Dusan. Always a pleasure and can't wait for part 2.
What the ... is that awesome! absolutely realistic! Great work!
Aggettivi terminati che dire Maestro spettacolo

Very wise - designed kit, and so outstandning work! Great done! All the best for You! ;)
Awesome job on that tank!!! keep up the creativity.
Excellent build. Artistry in motion
Lepo uradjeno Dusane.👍👍👍
Красиво выглядит! Это заслуживает лайка!)
Как всегда на высшем уровне! Лайк однозначно!
Looks great. Thanks for sharing
This kit was the first that my dad made some 50 years ago…
Great work at this tank , excelent details and weathering !
1:02 me a 15 year old: i am gonna do what they call a progamer move.
Nice to see you doing some armour - and superb result as always!
Outstanding job again and again and again...you get the point...I look forward to part 2 of this video...Mike G
Excellent work as always Dusan 😎👌👌
She's a stunner!
A masterpiece
Stunning work !
A new tamiya kit in the hands of SMA ... ok, just look and admire! 👍
Шикарная работа!
Extreamly cool
Great job!
Fantastic model building and video production. I really enjoyed watching this!
Thanks!! 👍🍻 All the best!! Dusan
THis was a beutifull build!!!
When I was in 3/325 Abn (82nd Abn Div) we had our armor platoon attachment support us during an exercise. We spent all afternoon wiring up our battalion CP for communications, only to have the damn Armor Platoon leader pull up in his Sheridan and execute a neat little pivot over our wire head, destroying the junction boxes and ripping out the wires and cable. I managed to jump up on this thing direct from the ground and was ready to wring his scrawny little Armor neck, but I remembered I outranked him and decided to execute a very fulfilling verbal evisceration instead. Ah, good times, good times. Actually these were pretty neat vehicles and I do enjoy watching these video's--they are very soothing. BTW Dusan I was in Vienna last spring for the very first time...an absolutely beautiful city!
BTW I meant to add, you wouldn't want too much weathering on these. By the time the Army retired them there were only a few battalions left, but many vehicles is Depot Storage so plenty of parts. The vehicles in the operational fleet were kept in pretty good nick and always cleaned right up after exercises. They were always shown off, so the crews kept them up really well. I think you've captured it.
Very, very cool background story Thomas! Thank you very much!! Take care and all the best!!🤙🇺🇸 🍻 Dusan.
@@thomaswilson3437 I was a mechanic on those things during desert1
Top notch my friend !
Nice job! 👍🏻👏🏻
Beautiful
Great job!!!!!

Just professional... !!!
beautiful model. Good work👍
Excellent work
Build was straightforward but the paintwork really did the business 👍🏽
Thanks!! 🍻 all the best!! Dusan
I love it.., very artistic..
Hot damn my evening is now made!!
Awesome!👍👍👍
THANK YOU DUSAN, for bringing us during these stressful times another excellent video!
Thank You Jeffrey!! Take care and all the best!! Dusan
brilliant job
Excellent video like always but if you want More weathering and dust effects on tanks you can watch night shift video
Really excellent production quality on your videos - very professional looking and beautifully edited.
The model looks superb and very authentic. The paint job is so realistic, especially with all the weathering details you added.
Thank you very much! I am glad that you like it 👍 All the best! Dusan
NICE!
Very good work
Nice build. Greetings Ben
Super 👍
Awesome.
It’s awesome
Круто !
I saw these in world of tanks it fires rockets!!
for my fellow armor modelers, theres an easier way to make tracks than what he did just in case your watching trying to learn.
Black bottle by Model Master, slow drying glue with a surgical applicator on it. It soaks into the plastic creating a bond differently than the tamiya pants. You can create the lower run around the drive sprocket and the rear idler wheel, then let it dry for 35 minutes and come back and form a perfect set of tracks.
Excellent job! (Just an advice) maybe it would be great if the video had a little more light just to make the details more visible!
Good💯👍
Beautiful! The only thing is that the Vietnameese mud is orange-brown, not so European brown.
Nice
more modern mbt-s pls! :D
Sieht sehr gut aus !!
kannst du eventuell mal so was wie eine roomtour machen von deinem modellbaudtudio)
Nice dude im Building now an f-16
Should treat the side edges of the Sheridan hull with a slightly different shades as that was RUBBER?FABRICS and not of the metal hull because that was the exposed parts of the folding river covering skirts. That might be painted over as part of the hull but because they are of different material and not aluminum, paint would flake off or worn down showing the soft edges. That tiny hole on the left front of the Sheridan hull should be given a dirty shade of red and a T handle added to the inside as that was the fire extinguisher handle located; it was always left painted RED. Mounting/tie down straps and even simple net are missing from the rear bustle rack because that was where we piled all our personal gears and extra tools; usually, we would strap an empty missile canister to it for extra storage. Finally, to complete a Vietnam and later Sheridan, a cut down 55 gallon drum should be added strapped to the back deck as the Sheridan was notorious for dripping oil underneath the engine! I have been waiting for a more accurate Sheridan model since the early Tamiya one and now, I am finally happy 🙂 Now, maybe someone would make an at least partial interior so I don't have to scratch build what could be seen from the loader and TC hatches!!! Great model, folks!
Brilliant! 😃 But where is part 2? 🤔
Yes. Part 2 please.
A great build. But I'm curious as to why you didn't but the decals on till after you had weathered the model?
After 10 years of building planes, today I started my 1st Armor kit. Takom King Tiger, late production, no interior. So far I cannot figure out where the prop goes. I will purchase the metal barrel replacement for this kit. But not the metal tracks. I like how you modulated the OD, looks good. Nice & muddy! Tools look very real, nice touch. Looks good Dusan, great build.
Bob Thanks! Not a bad choice at all, I enjoyed that build, this might be helpful (same kit different box and markings) but it's simple to build anyway. All the best and take care! Dusan.

@@ScaleModelAircraft I viewed this vid my friend, that's why I picked this kit to start my Armor builds. THANKS!
Oh, sorry I didn't know that 😅
Thank you!! Dusan
@@ScaleModelAircraft With all of your followers I can't expect you to read all the comments! Ordering colors for the King tonight. Thanks again for the vid of your King build. I plan on peeking at it now and then to help with mine. Looks pretty much a straight forward build. I think it'll be fun
You will enjoy your build. Btw, I have a few King Tigers in my stash, ICM (new tool) and Tamiya Porsche version (maby even a regular Henschel as well). But I can tell You only good things for that Takom kit 👍 All the best!! Dusan.
田宮さん？やってくれましたぁ😉
In my opinion this deserve a diorama from scratch, what do you think?
15:04〜
like a box art
Not the sexiest of tanks 🙄 but another great build! 👍
I drove one of these, in 2nd plt, K troop, 3/11th armored cavalry regiment, in 1970-71 out Dian.
Very very cool indeed!! Take care and all the best! 🍻🇺🇸 🤙 Dusan.
These 60's tanks were used into the 90's. I remember seeing some being loaded into C-130s during the Gulf War in 1991. I suppose they were still in use because the Airborne troops didn't have anything better.
Yeah viet nam
но если похлопать,, хорошая игрушка
That looks so cool but I can never do anything like that
improved version of the 70s kit!
If u at music call fortunate son it will very cool diorama
Awesome build and video as always. Is the metal barrel aftermarket or is it included in the kit?
Yes it's a separate DP set available separately DP-detail parts set. Hopefully there will be some limited edition boxing that include this barrel and PE grille. In the past that was the case. All the best! Dusan.
I have built tanks that was realistic inside had to seek and the shells storage area
What was the clear coat 12:08 ? was it matt or gloss?
All my modeling stuff has been packed up for over a month now due to me moving, I still have a few weeks left before ill be set back up.. its killing me watching these videos lol
Good luck with your moving, but you can make plans for future builds and spent some time on researching. 👍🍻 all the best! Dusan.
What camera do you use to record your videos?
What type of sandpaper is best for removing small amounts of excess plastic?
I always use those soft nail files instead of sandpaper. Don't know the grit but you can just buy a few (they're cheap af) and pick out the ones who work best for you.
Very good, i want same kit in 72 scale
I agree, It would be cool for 1/72 scale transport aircrafts... All the best! Dusan
Posto vidim da se zovete Dušan zanima me u slucaju da zivite u Srbiji gde kupujete makete, hvala i pozdrav i ako bi mogli da mi kazete recimo uljane revellove boje kako je najbolje pomesati sa thinerima?
If you want real Vietnam era battle damage - put it in the oven on gas Mark 6 for twenty minutes. Perfect for post-HEAT melt down.
BEAUTIFUL job but without layer upon layer of red dust, this Sheridan never rolled around in Vietnam!
Well, depending on the base but I agree 👍 Thanks!! All the best!! Dusan.
@@ScaleModelAircraft Dusan, when you say "depending on the base" do you mean where a Sheridan may have been operating in Vietnam? I f so, I would venture to say that the ONLY place in Vietnam where a Sheridan would not have been covered with red dust would be in the shallow water of the South China Sea! I served in Vietnam a long, long time ago. i think I still might have some red dust between my toes from that adventure! Thank you for your previous reply and your EXCELLENT videos.
Thank you very much, we'll I have thinking about my base for the model. 🙂 Very, very cool story! 👍🍻🇺🇸 I think that the Vietnam era in modeling circles was very popular during the 1980 now is a bit in the shadow. But I really hope that it is going to change and it will be more present in the future. It's not all about Panther's and Shermans (with full respect!). All the best!! Dusan
Upper front glacis says:
"YOU'RE NEXT"
where is the next episode?
What tools do you use for sanding, as well for the decals?
Sandpaper (4 wet sanding), local hardware shop, Tamiya sandpaper, Mr.Hobby, cheap sanding sticks from local drogerie stores. But don't use coarse grit, range 400-1200 for armour. For decals, Tamiya Decal Adhesive, Mr.Hobby Mr.Mark Setter and softer, you can't go wrong with it. (Btw, sometimes Mr.Softner can be more concentrated so don't leave it to long). I hope this helps. All the best! Dusan
Can i ask the name of the music in 11:50?
15:03 взгляд башни напоминает Т-90А
Yes, there's a resemblance in that! All the best! Dusan
music intro?
