Plot twist: uncle is building several of the same tank at a time, just to place them side by side so that it is all there to appreciate: the extremely detailed build, the superb paint job, the realistic weathering, the life-like dust and mud and of course another one in the finished diorama/vignette😄
@@NightShiftScaleModels You know what...thats not a bad idea actually. Take a large panzer kit, and paint it "step by step" but separate each section along the hull. Would involve a lot of masking, but it could be really interesting to have a literal visual chart of the evolution
A lot of people pass off all US WWII stuff as boring since it's "just all olive drab" but in reality we have tons of interesting camouflages on their equipment. OD and black (very late-war), OD and dark green (Op. Cobra), OD and tan (Italy), and then of course all those crazy pacific-theater Shermans :)
@@Panzermeister36 That's just the tip of the iceberg. Wading stacks made from fuel drums, side skirts from scrap metal, an entire tank covered in plywood (Sherman "King Kong"), razor blades welded around hulls, etc etc
@@cambargera I saw he had it in his stash from the background of one of his paint brand review videos from before the Pz II restoration. I followed along with his videos on the Rutscher and Gruppe Fehrmann Tiger and they came out well. By 5mn into the first T29 video I knew I'd make a mess trying to follow this build, so mine shall be box stock...
You know what I really like about this channel? Uncle Night Shift always seems so happy doing what he does! I am a railroad modeller and former wargaming painter, so I have done quite a few night shifts myself, but with waaaay more cursing involved. I guess we all go through some rough times these days, so it's nice to see that at least some people still enjoy their life or at least their hobby.
I haven't built a model tank since I was a kid and have no plans to build a model tank anytime soon and yet I cannot stop watching your videos. I love them!
Hi NightShift I just wanna say thank your for all your good Tipps! I noticed how my ability to make Modells Not Out of The Box improved and i make alot of stuff by myself! :D Edit: autocorrect
Excellent tutorial on olive drab. Deck tan and buff are 2 of Tamiya's colors no one should be without. That scheme you used must have been the predecessor to the NATO scheme of decades later. Very cool!
So far the best OD rendering I have ever seen. Not too complicated and enjoyable to follow. Thank you for the tutorial. It's very inspiring. I'm a Gear-head (my friends call me that) myself and love armored vehicles.GOD Bless and Keep Safe!
Hi Uncle nightshift! I just want to say thanks for what you are doing, I’m primarily a aircraft builder but decided to buy a tamiya panther Ausf a because I’ve heard it’s good and cheap and it’s my favourite tank of ww2.
Great video , Thank You ! Let me go and pick up the pieces of mind from the floor after your video blew it ! 😁 Hope you have a great/safe weekend , Tony
Thank you for that videos, it´s a great Step-by-Step tutorial even for a novice like me at airbrushing. Especially helpful are the addition of mixxing notes of the paint, since i had problems of finding the right shade of a convincing olive darb for camouflages. Keep up the great work and the great videos!
@@NightShiftScaleModels totally understandable; I'm currently building Fury and I think I'll combine all these different techniques with some of mines. If in the end it will look good or at least interesting I will send you some photos, I hope you'll see something that might interest you! 😊
I paint fantasy models (Warhammer, warmachine, artel w, etc) and I watch your channel more religiously than the channels geared more specifically to my genre models. Your channel, IMHO, is far more intuitive and entertaining, and for that, I thank you, sir!
That is an absolutely beautiful tank. You're right, and I've always thought this as well, olive drab and black is a gorgeous combination. It's probably my favorite camouflage pattern in history. American and British tanks used it a lot, and even WWII Soviet aircraft are similar, albeit with a lighter green. Simple, but effective, and it looks amazing.
Your videos inspired me to pick up this hobby again, after 20 years. Thank you for this. I will start doing some airbrushing soon, but build three models already, soon it is gonna be factory work painting them.
Hi Martin, this was a fantastic tutorial, very involved with just one colour, thanks for the lesson, I hope you and your family and friends are keeping safe and well in these crazy times, best regards from Australia.
so informative thank you so much uncle nightshift!! I got the jagdtiger and tried weld beads and armor texture and looks somewhat ok thank you so much!!!
Before painting I was my kits in 70% isopropyl alcohol. It removes oils from one's fingers and dries in just minutes. I think it also gives the surface a little more "bite" for the paint to adhere to. Great channel BTW!
Nightshift, my friend....I hope that all is well at your end! The only thing, only thing ever, that Fury inspired me to do....was to turn it off! 😉😆😂 Onwards and upwards to the next Nightshift video....🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻
A nice appoach - I love the oliv drab - black camouflage scheme! One technical question to uncle Night Shift: what where the rails with the clips on the reverse of the turret for? Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this video. I have a super Pershing in stand by for years because I could not find the colors I had in my mind and was not happy with my result. You just showed me the result I was looking for and I might have found back the motivation to give it again a new try. It's even crasier as I almost used the same colors. I was so close and so far away at the same time but the difference is probably your are talented 😂. It is far more difficult than it seem to achieve a good result with this camo scheme. Thanks for your inspiring work.
I really want to get into model making. I tried doing a helicopter and plane in the past but didn’t really get into it. I am very interested in Tanks though so I will try that soon.
even when i only build aircraft i still watch Night Shift becouse of his awesome work + i can always learn some new trick to use on my fighter jet models
This project is getting better and better Uncle! We get your posts on Saturday here in Australia, and like everyone else, I wait for my notification with anticipation each week. I am looking forward to the next episode already.
What Psi are you spraying at because you got very small and exact lines when you were highlighting the panels and the seamlines. Great video have a nice day.
Night, first time i comment, awesome job bro. I know a clan of modelers at Greece that they will be proud to have you in their ranks, let alone the international lol .. Keep going..
What size of airbrush needle is this Martin ? I don't think my Iwata Neo needle is able to handle these small spray lines. Yours looks just excellent !
The airbrush has a small regulator at the bottom and I always adjust it by feel, often multiple times during one session, so I can't really tell you an exact number. But I'd say it's between 5 and 10 psi
Aw dude the model looks so badass so far, i cant wait for the finished product. Also maybe some time in the future you could try some other heavy tank model projects? I would love to see the T32E1 American heavy as it's my favorite ;) love the vids as usual
Hey night shift, I was wondering if you had any suggestion with doing specific camouflage say with a paint brush, I am thinking of doing a Panther Ausf.A 'II 011'
When did Tamiya update the Olive Drab color? I have an old unopened pot of Tamiya OD, bought about 10 years ago and a Sherman build coming up. Would that be the old and "good" tone of OD before they changed it?
Hey Shift, would love to see you do a model in the Tiger tank from Hogan's Heroes. It is based off an M7 Priest chassis, and with your talent/skill, I would love to see this happen. Thank you! Attempt no.2
My weekend doesn't start until I hear "Mah friends!" :D

I would never have guessed, that OD and Black would fit so nice together on such a tall surface. Really good job, as always :)
Glad that you mentioned about Korea. I'm doing a What If T34 Heavy Tank from the Korean War, with bi-color camouflage and everything. 🥰
Excellent tutorial on olive drab. Deck tan and buff are 2 of Tamiya's colors no one should be without. That scheme you used must have been the predecessor to the NATO scheme of decades later. Very cool!
Nightshift: I really love the paintjob, I'll need to be careful with weathering.
Also Nightshift: NEXT EPISODE WE'LL MAKE IT MUDDY!
The amount of knowledge I've soaked up just from watching this is life changing.
THAT TANK IS AN ABSOLUTE UNIT. On a side note I wish they painted modern U.S armor olive and black.. its so heavy its almost intimidating :D
So far the best OD rendering I have ever seen. Not too complicated and enjoyable to follow. Thank you for the tutorial. It's very inspiring. I'm a Gear-head (my friends call me that) myself and love armored vehicles.GOD Bless and Keep Safe!
It's nice to see you using airbrush techniques found in aircraft building. GIves me confidence to finally finalize a tank myself
Your airbrush work is a source of constant inspiration!
Hi Uncle nightshift! I just want to say thanks for what you are doing, I’m primarily a aircraft builder but decided to buy a tamiya panther Ausf a because I’ve heard it’s good and cheap and it’s my favourite tank of ww2.

Seriously uncle, different episodes brings me a new knowledge into scale modelling. Thanks a lot :D
That's gorgeous! Imagine all these cloudy-like patterns mixed together with some distressing, there're would be a ton of different textures
I always want to try that out but at the end I don't want to "spoil" all the postshaded work with distressing :)

Beautiful !
My favorite early post WWII tank modeled by my favorite modeler
Also, a very nice camo. I love it
thanks man
Oglądam to już po raz 5 i nie wierze że to ludzkie ręce zrobiły. Perfekt !
I like your methodof OD painting. It makes it look well used. You probably won't have to weather a lot.
That's the magic of post shading, you could theoretically paint the remaining details, add a pinwash and call it done :)

awsome job...im always amazed at your attention to detail and a little jealous of your ability ...that tank is beautiful
