    How good must it feel to go from “selling models” to “selling MY models”? Congrats, Sir.

      How many Europeans build tank models ? Any way to figure this out ?

    I simply love this tank. All the detail and the size of this tank is just outstanding. Great job. This will pair well with the jeep no questions asked. Thank you for filming the full build it was nice to watch.

    Just received my kit. First 1/16 tank kit and I must say, I am glad I bought it from you! This kit is impressive, the details are amazing. Can't wait to start building this beautiful tank.

  • @daveonbass79
    @daveonbass79 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Fan-tastic! The more you show us of this kit the less intimidated i am of the sheer size. So it goes without saying that I can not wait to get this and the jeep whenever they arrive. Thanks again for doing this.

    • @erichheyde5953
      @erichheyde5953 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I generally find 1/16 an easier scale than 1/35. Because the parts are usually bigger

  • @mugenwr6046
    @mugenwr6046 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Andy! I love the detail of 1/16 scale. I am learning so much more about the Sherman Tank and the engineering behind it. I had thought since we were outmatched much of WW2 that it was not a good design. I see now I was misinformed, or came to the wrong assumption. Thanks for your energy and devotion to detail and the hobby!! I am about half-way through building this kit.

    Such a gorgeous model. The fit and finish is amazing! Who wouldn’t be proud to put their name on it? Wonder if an interior is coming soon?

  • @c123bthunderpig
    @c123bthunderpig ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks great just like that, the details really stand out. I've never pre-assembled a kit prior to painting, although I can see the advantages, especially on this size kit, of getting good fits. Anxious to see how you paint a fully assembled kit.

    @EMTBAFV ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Andy I'm From Scotland and just wanted to say what a superb job on this sherman! I've just had mine arrive about an hour ago and looking over the sprues it's absolutely beautiful! Never expected the Breach in the turret etc the 50 cal is lovely nicer than takoms 1.16 jeep one, I also got that last Thursday! Camera just doesn't do the Size justice does it! Never seen a cupla the size of an Oreo before probably bigger and a Turret is a monster! I've just about finished weathering Tamiyas new Comet so I'll be cracking on this very soon! Just bummed out at the Tiger that's going to be Twice the Price!

  • @charliemessenger6537
    @charliemessenger6537 ปีที่แล้ว

    How soon until the Full Interior version comes out? This kit just screams for an interior, especially with that beautiful breach. Congrats Andy, you must be a proud Papa!

  • @DRWFJ40
    @DRWFJ40 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well done Andy! Thanks for all your hard work. I have the WW2 jeep coming next week. Very excited to see this scale gain traction! Can't wait to see a 1:16 B-17...

  • @renton1664
    @renton1664 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just got mine today in the post. Am in the UK and had it on pre order from an online shop. Looks goooood. You must be so proud. Hopefully get to putting at least some of together this weekend. I can. Not. Wait for the Tiger now as well! It'll be huge!

  • @davidcole333
    @davidcole333 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm in the middle of working on this kit. It's all about 2 things...building up those 154 track links at 3 pieces per link and then all of the myriad of small fiddly bits. It's hard to decide on when to actually glue the bits in place for fear of knocking them back off. I'm really enjoying this kit, it has gone together very, very well so far. I'm done with the lower hull, wheels, tracks and bogeys and am now almost finished with the upper hull and then on to the turret! I bought the aftermarket .50 cal that Andy sells for this kit. It's going to look great.

  • @timafter909
    @timafter909 ปีที่แล้ว

    Andy way to go. Just got my kit up here in Canada. Never built 1 16 and so far going great. Amazing fit and detail and not as big I thought at first. It is looking good so far and I can't wait to see what you will do next. Not doing the German one as a mediocre modeller till I see how easy turns out. Keep um coming. Thanks .

    Fantastic sir. Spent time at Ft Knox working on their easy 8 and started a GAA rebuild for the Oh Henry, but couldn't finish because it all moved to Ft Benning. Let's see if aftermarket GAA kit comes out.

    Think I'll bin the ILK effort, this knocks it right out the park. So glad I've one pre-
    ordered

    • @contributor7219
      @contributor7219 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've got the AHHQ kit on pre-order too, along with the Jeep, but having just received and started the ILK offering I certainly won't be 'binning' it. For starters it offers the early split loader's hatch version, which is nice, even though they have included the 'wrong' T80 tracks. On the subject of the T80 tracks in the IL kit, they are incredibly nicely detailed with metal pins and jigs are included for assembly. My plan is to use the IL T80 tracks on the AHHQ kit, and the T66 tracks in the AHHQ kit on the IL since that was the most commonly seen combination for early E8s that hadn't had field replacements of entire tracks. The IL kit also, oddly, has more detail in some areas than the AHHQ kit - no idea why those particular components were singled out. The IL kit has rubber road wheel and idler tyres too, with nice sidewall detail, fully sprung suspension, and in the initial release a few frets of very nice photo etch. I think there are advantages to both kits, and I am very much looking forward to having and building both (and the Jeep too, of course).
