The L900 must've had a tonne of torque to be able to carry such loads. Thanks Andy for the tutorial on the build of L900 and trailer. What nice looking kit.
With the SP in the load bed it looked like, ok, small "tank", big truck. But once you put the Sd.Kfz 7 next to it - wow - you really get an idea of the size. Impressive. Great build as usual Andy
Looks really nice. My opinion is that you also needed to paint silver the bolts of the truck bed because they sure get some grinding when the truck is loaded.
Das Werk actually uploaded a video checking out the molds and assembly line of this kit in China. Pretty impressive video showing some behind the scenes footage.
Loved the two videos about this kit.If only somebody did it in 1:76,because I think it's a great looking combo, just too big for the space I have available. Keep up the good work.
It is a pretty big truck. I enjoy sub assemblies. When you got no troubles, modeling is so relaxing. I love Tamiya Thin cement also. A veritable workhorse. It's enjoyable to be exposed to kits you have no intention of doing but, still interested in them. Good job. Good times. Thanks.
Great technique with the weathering on the truck tray bed & trailer,looks awesome,I had one of the Tamiya 8 ton halftrack kits,the one with the 20mm flakvierling & crew I remember,i also lost the windscreen for that kit too,I just scratch build another windscreen out of an old canvas top from another military vehicle that I never used,made it look like the halftrack windscreen was folded down & had a canvas cover,then many,many years later I ended up finding that windscreen in a drawer long after I no longer had the model from memory?,lol,there's always ways & means I guess?,lol,great idea with halfrack in the tray though,cheers
Grey look on the wood. Think itlooks better than transfers. Thanks for the great videos 2018. Looks like 2019 will be a great year again to watch your builds.
Entertaining build as always. Those poles with the white indicators are called bumper guides, just FYI. I was surprised you went with dry brushing instead of hairspray for the chipping. It would have been a good opportunity for AK worn effects.
Andy, your presentation style and enthusiasm is infectious. The attention to detail on your painting is wonderful. Please can you recommend a paint gun for the basic (but not novice) modeller? Thanks Robert
Andy I love your videos because of the way you show things so ... not complicated... Having watched this one you have shown a problem Ive had for a while now building kits that im not 100% sure how to not do. The half track, when you put it on the trailer the tracks dont touch the ground. How would do build that half track so the tracks do touch the ground? Ive got so many diorama ideas but no idea how to make the tracks touch the ground so they always end up on level ground which kills the dio for me because its not what I imagined.
Another great build! Andy. I have one comment about the trailer, being I have worked around heavy equipment all my life. I see where it would be a pain in the butt to load a piece of equipment over the rear fenders and axle. Just an observation.
Hi Jonathon, i thought the same but i think they would load a tank from over the side using the tracks to pull itself on and turning tracks opposite way to each other to turn straight.
Jonathan Godwin - only way I can see is to load/unload it with a crane; it’d work for loading/unloading the truck bed, too. Either that, or the rear axle assembly comes off?! Maybe someone in the audience is familiar with this vehicle, and can answer the question.
Great build Andy I'm just rapping mine up now, but one question what have you used to attach the trailer to the truck? I can't find anything referenced in the instructions or on the sprue's?
I once wrote to Tamiya about some incompletely molded parts in a 1/35 Jumbo Sherman tank kit and they sent me replacements... I wonder if you could do the same for that missing windshield?
Hi Andy … i have a question related to your mediocre modelers facebook page … until a few days its closed to the public which have no facebook … why did you close it? … I would like to further watch the things people are posting there without selling my soul to facebook … will you set it back to the old status? ... thx Make*
A lot of members asked to have it closed because non members were commenting on their posts. Perhaps some were not nice comments. I had no issue with it being public though.
Hey Andy love your videos just a quick question are you planning building third Battleship if so can I suggest the three ships Germany's Bismarck, Americans USS Missouri and Japan's Yamato thous are my suggestion but it's up to you to disid. But if you will dicid to building one of thous ships you will have hard time fiding place to put it in you're store. But still love your videos.
Great video Andy as always......I a favor to ask you. Since you and luka seem to be in the know of all things REVEL.....do you happen to know the number to contact those that own them now? Friend of mine ( Charlie Mac) purchased a sealed wrecker truck kit at ACME and at least one spruce is missing from his kit.
Try all parts first without glue, so you can see if it will fit and how much contact area there is between the parts. Then only use enough glue to cover these areas, not flooding them. But in the end when it all is painted it doesnt matter because you wont see the shiny spots. What glue do you use?
@@jerryschneider145 I was asking Andy. But I have built models for 50 years, and assembling so many parts and stages then paining, negates fine detail painting and results in overspray. Example is overspray on tires.
Im lovin' Das Werk.
Andy, I follow your channel, it's very interesting. I am an Italian model maker you are very good congratulations. Build beautiful models. Hello
The L900 must've had a tonne of torque to be able to carry such loads. Thanks Andy for the tutorial on the build of L900 and trailer. What nice looking kit.
I work with trucks. Don't hesitate to wear that paint out, on a wooden bed. It get's worn down quickly. Andy nailed it.
Great job Andy.
With the SP in the load bed it looked like, ok, small "tank", big truck. But once you put the Sd.Kfz 7 next to it - wow - you really get an idea of the size. Impressive. Great build as usual Andy
Andy you have done a great job with this one weathering was just brilliant Steve 🇬🇧
The wooden deck in the back of the truck was freaking masterful!
Just started building mine. You can get that exhaust fitted post the axles, but not easy. Good skills mate. :o)
Looks really nice. My opinion is that you also needed to paint silver the bolts of the truck bed because they sure get some grinding when the truck is loaded.
Just finished watching part 1 again after thinking about picking one of these up, great timing!
great.
looks beautiful

wow I wasn't expecting you to see in the comment section XD
@@bjorngroen2724 well I like to build models myself
@@Tomah4wkVideos I experience myself that it is a great way to calm down after some terrible WoT matches ;) nvm I love your videos as well!
Great build video Andy.
Why not "damage" the half track and put it in the back or on trailer as tho being recovered to repair ?
Excellent build and review! Love how you tied the truck and trailer together with the painting/wearhering! 👍
Very nice, especially like the weathered wood effect. 👏
Loved the two videos about this kit.If only somebody did it in 1:76,because I think it's a great looking combo, just too big for the space I have available. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for showing the rear suspension Andy. Once you raised it up it does look like some room in there. Nice work.

Right on Andy
Who dared to put a "dislike"??

Another great build and paint job. Looking forward to seeing the decals.
Damn nice one its become
Hello Andy. I really enjoy your videos. I got into tank model kits because of you. i usually do gundams.
Entertaining build as always. Those poles with the white indicators are called bumper guides, just FYI.
I was surprised you went with dry brushing instead of hairspray for the chipping. It would have been a good opportunity for AK worn effects.
Fine looking build. If I had room I might try it. I'm almost out of room.
your talent is amazing. excellent tutoral.great job
Happy days Andy releases a new video

really nice worn wood effects Andy. Great job and looks like a cracking kit
Cool
great work mate ,wonder when we going to see this in Australia might check ebay 👍👍
Thanks for doing this one Andy, I have been waiting to pick this one up :)
Please build a b17 flying fortress please
Another great build! Andy.

@@glynchivers9519 that's very possible. I have done just that with bulldozers and some of the smaller excavators.
The rear weels are removed, track/tank loaded, then weels would be attched back and trailer jacked up.
@@patrycjusznysk9268 I figured that might be the case.
Well I loved the video
music nice andy and model cool
Great to have you back ! We missed you buddy !
amazing !
Are you also going to build the famo tank transporter from Tamiya in the future Andy? Build love to see that get build!
These trucks were just a beast with what they did also good job looks really good. Also where can you find this model and what paints were used?
Hey Andy I was wondering if you could build m41 walker.bulldog I love to see you build one
looking good thare like it and as go i see
Hey Andy! Do you store sell already assembled models?
How did the sdkfz 7 load over the mudguards? Just askin’. Great model, by the way and on my want list for Christmas.
A lost part on the halftrack now it looks like one of my kits
Hello Andy :D
WOO ANDY IS BACK BOYS
you should bild something from IBG MODELS . Their's kits are awesome
can you do a M26 Pershing
you put the front fenders on backwards?
Great build Andy I'm just rapping mine up now, but one question what have you used to attach the trailer to the truck? I can't find anything referenced in the instructions or on the sprue's?

Hi Dale, thanks for your kind reply on this subject ... ok i get the point ... keep the negative people off the page ... greetings Make*
want one but here in Australia so expensive, basic kits $75,
Hey Andy, After the tank is loaded on the trailer how do they lift the trailer to mount the rear wheels..??
Thanks..
Hey Andy love your videos just a quick question are you planning building third Battleship if so can I suggest the three ships Germany's Bismarck, Americans USS Missouri and Japan's Yamato thous are my suggestion but it's up to you to disid.

This is more of a technical question. How was the tank loaded over the back axle? Other tank transporters had flat beds. But not this one. Any one?
Hi Kenneth, the back axle was removed, so the back of the trailer touched the ground. Then the vehicle could drive onto the trailer.
@@jczeus Hi I get that but with a tank on board how was the axle replaced.
i loose a windshield once i used a lexan piece
I wish that was my car
I cannot see how a vehicle can get on and off the trailer with the rear fenders in the way.
Has anyone a clue how did the germans load the trailer? A halftruck cant drive over the rear fenders...
the rear most axle can detach and make a ramp
How do I know when not put to much glue because sometimes they are shiny parts the my model when is to much glue.
Try all parts first without glue, so you can see if it will fit and how much contact area there is between the parts. Then only use enough glue to cover these areas, not flooding them. But in the end when it all is painted it doesnt matter because you wont see the shiny spots. What glue do you use?
Tamyai glue
How did they load vehicles onto the trailer? With ramps from the front, maybe?
Hello, actually the back wheels come off and you can put ramps on the back.
Interesting, thanks!
Something you do not do is like add actually damage to your kid...I remember you used to bend the mud guards on tanks before..
super ! mais pourquoi tu parle pas la france !
I am curious as to why you do not paint parts individually? You seem to biuild something to near completion and then paint. Any reasons?
quicker and easier that way
@@jerryschneider145 I was asking Andy. But I have built models for 50 years, and assembling so many parts and stages then paining, negates fine detail painting and results in overspray. Example is overspray on tires.
great job. how did the Germans get vehicles on the trailer? obviously from the back but how?
They where lifting it by hand. 1 guy on every corner of the vehicle. No just kidding. I think it Was driven up over the trailer.
I was wondering the same thing, the rear fenders are in the way.
The rear axle was removable. Also the trailer could be used as a ramp for the truck once the axle was removed.
then how did they get rear axle back on if it was loaded?
bom;
The wheel hubs are highly inaccurate
