Just started on the Trumpeter. Tamiya too expensive here. Don't mind spending time cleaning it up for best fit. Enjoying it after decades being away from modelling. I could only afford 1/72 being a teenager. Now 1/35, partly due to eyesight, hehe.
Hello mr.fun!i build a tamiya m1a2 and the fit was awesome. There was no flesh and i found no ejector pinmarks.i think your love to scale moddeling and passion to detail is a shiny beacon in the moddeling world. Thank you for sharing. and keep going.your friend in sprues. Christian.
I have a question... Could you make video or take pictures of the inside of the lower hull and of the inside of the turret to show the placement of the electronics and the mechanical parts placement in those areas? I know and understand these tanks that you 3d Print are based on the Heng Long 1/16 r/c tank layout. But for those of us who are new to the r/c tank hobby, it truly would be very helpful. Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again in advance.
Hi and thank you. Im used to use Mr. Cements S,SP, Revell Contacta or Agama glues for a longer time now. Mr.Cement is very similar to Tamiya Extra Thin. Yes, I use it on all my model builds. Its a very good glue.
I was in the gulf war on a M1A1 heavy....the Marines did not have M1s at the time they had M60s....Also the plate on the front of the turret is not accurate.... The DU armor covered the entire surface on the front of the turret
DUDE! Do you have any photos of your M1A1?.... And, lol, lol, lol....no, not laughing at you! -Those are supposed to be "CIP's", or Combat Identification Panels, on the turret front. They are nowhere near that thick on the real thing. Trust me, this kit is a dog. It sucks hugely! The guy here did a very good job on it, but the basic kit sucks bigtime!.... Even the Tamiya kit is better! BTW, I',m finishing up an M60 w/ERA & bulldozer blade, from Takom. Excellent kit!....
I THINK that the "little box thingy" goes into the back of the suspension arm....BTW, this is probably the WORST M1 Abrams on the market. Tamiya, or the new Academy kits are better. The RFM-Rye Fields Models kits are even better, but more difficult builds....
Greetings. I have such a kit. I have a question: what lenth should the antennas on the turret of the tank be? The instructions do not say about the length of the antennas. Can you tell me the length of the antennas? 35:01
Hi.The length of the thick, green, fiberglass antenna is 8 feet which is 2 3/4 inches in 1/35. The thinner, black, wire antennas are 6 feet long, which is 2 inches in 1/35.
That sir was a outstanding build, the weathering came out perfectly, you must be vety proud of the result, best regards from Australia.
Thank you very much Sir. Yes Im happy how it worked out. But Im still learning. Greetings from Slovakia.
Great video and a great result - thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much Sir 🙂
That's a unique military tank model kit fantastic.
Thank you very much Sir 🙂
Great inspiration thanks Michael
Thank you Mourad 🙂
Hey man im new to the hobby and sometimes i feel overwhelmed. You and nightshift keep me on track, motivating me to construct a better technique.
You are wellcome 😊
Fantastic details and patience. Was thinking of buying it for the low price.
If you have the patience to clean all parts, do it. Its a good kit. 🙂
U better buy tamiya because trumpeter turret is wrong

Very nice build, just a shame Trumpeter made such a dog's breakfast of the turret profile.
Grazie, sto per iniziare il montaggio dello stesso carro adesso so come fare per un buon lavoro 👏👏👏👍👍👍😁😁😁
Damn! That’s awesome man
号手的模型 能制作出这种效果 真的很棒
谢谢。该模型在清洁零件和关节时有点困扰我，但这并不困难。
Excellent work. Im surprised a guy of your experience doesnt use Tamiya extra thin. Why do you use Mr. Cement and do you use it for all your builds?

For the wheel bars, 3:30, do they go on top, below, or above that little box thingy?

The RFM-Rye Fields Models kits are even better, but more difficult builds....
Is the track too tight? From my experience, rubber track is always too tight. Sometimes even 'bent' the idler wheel inward
Rubber tracks are too loose. In order for them to fit on the chassis and keep their shape, I had to cut two track pieces.
@@modelsforfun wow I never seen that one. Thank you!
I ever see this kit but the brand is WSN, is WSN and trumpeter same?
Yes it is the same kit.
Which airbrush are you using in this video. Just curious?'
Chromax BD 130

Sir can that model move????
Turret yes, wheels yes, yes but olny on rubber tracks.
NOPE!....This is one of the WORST M1 Abrams kits EVER!.... NOT RECOMMENDED, unless you can pick it up dirt cheap & use some random parts....
