You know, this video made me come to a realization that I hadn't thought of before, and thats that QDC's vids always manage to remind me that you don't need to buy a ton of aftermarket products to make a kit look beautiful! His builds just have that kinda home-made feel, while also looking absolutely stunningly well built! Best model kit TH-camr I've seen because of this very reason!
Thanks. I guess that's my hallmark. :) I sometimes think that building model kits are over commercialized. There are so many accessories for model kits that people loose the joy of building things straight out of the box. I never gotten into having a lot of accessories per se. Don't get me wrong. I think some of the accessories out in the market are good but I use them to enhance my creativity. Take care :)
Within reason depending on kit and what stage of modeling you are now at i suppose! Came out nice enough for an old Tamyia kit I just never like the saws on them I always change mine out for a PE blade that's on any Russian armour though! This kit is more engineered than there newer Abrams tusk 2 kit the hull on that thing is Yuk! All in one suspension already fixed to the hull! Yeah easy time saver but that's not fun for me lol complicated the better the challenge!
Yep. I'm impressed! Not only by the amazing build, painting and weathering. I'm impressed by the kit itself. These beautiful textures on the turret give it a really nice touch. Greetings from germany :)
Thank you Qdc, you inspired me to build my own M4A3 Tamiya model kit. I recently bought a Tiger Tamiya model kit, I'll will work on it as soon as it gets here, thanks!!
I have literally been waiting and counting the days for this video. So far, as with every video, I am pleased with the work and like the build. I can't wait for future work! 😃
Another Wonderful Build. I appreciate and respect your Craftsmanship... Have you ever Considered building a Train Model Like the Revell Big Boy Locomotive or Others ?
Excellent build, I can't thank you enough for encouraging me to start building models nearly a year ago! It has become my favorite hobby and pastime. I only hope the best for you and your channdel qdc, rock on!
Nice video again. The only thing I'm wondering about is the pin wash before the main color. I think the effect is minimized if not completely erased by the layer of paint in the main color as is the chipping effect with white paint. Perhaps it is an idea to do the paint chipping with a slightly lighter color than the main color, filling the chips in with a little black paint afterwards, leaving a small amount of the lighter main color on the outsides of the chips. Also do the pin wash after the main color and a layer of glossy varnish. When you put the tile grout on with a salt shaker and on to yellow glue, I think the effect was more realistic than the way you did it this time.Nevertheless a very interesting project again, hope to see more of your work soon.
Nice vid/build I was just in my hobby shop today and was going to buy this kit, but just below it was the new Tamiya M10 and there was only one of them so I got the M10. I might pick this one up next time
Great finish! Can you go over some tips on how to paint the figure and how to use the airbrush and maybe some troubleshooting when clogging problems arise with the airbrush? Thanks! Very insightful video!
Great video! I liked this video for the time and skill put into building this model, and i just like the IS-3. Its just such a cool looking tank! and i also have the tank in a great game called World Of Tanks! Lol. I would love to have this model in my room! Thanks for uploading this video!
You are welcome. I heard of WoT. It's a good game but I never had the chance to a play it. For my next tank will be the IS-3 enemy, the Conqueror. th-cam.com/video/UvV9lLbhT1E/w-d-xo.html
I admire your work! would you please let me know your recipe for mud effect in this video. I couldn't really tell by listening because English is not my first language. Thanks!
Nice work on the JS-3 Colin. A friend of mine who doesn't have a TH-cam channel wants to ask about what you use for 'buff colour' dust effect at the end of painting :)
What glue are you using? I know this sounds naive. I am just envious of your technique. I specialise in Napoleonics, but to pass the time I have been known to make other things. By the way, why did you pick Bizet's music for the slide show? I think you are a Grand Master
Mineral spirits are commonly found at your local art supply store. I do not know which part of the world you are from so if you can't find it in your area, try E-Bay.
if you haven't done it yet, you should make an effect where the tank gets hit and the shell goes into the armor but not all the way, so there is like a hole in the armor
what were you doing with the pencil in that drive wheel? how did you paint the runber on the track wheels? im working on my first ever tank build as a fairly new model. you should maybe look into doing the Academy M1A1 Abrams "warpig" it's a beautiful kit with alot of detail and extra pieces to add to the realism
as always qdc this a great kit, the details of the turret are amazing! . maybe in the future can you make a video on all of the kits you have built and maybe showcase them? you don't need to but it would be cool, thanks :)
Yes, I do. I use Micro Set and Micro Sol. I give a gloss finish where the decal is going to be. Then I place the decal there, apply both chemicals. It works most of the time. If the decal is inferior then it might not work.
Quick question, when you have detailing like the spare track links on the front, the lamp, the equipment on the back etc that need to be small and painted with multiple colours do you put them all on, prime it all together, paint the main colour, then paint the specific colours for those ltitle parts? Or do you leave the detailing bits off, prime/paint the majority of the chassis, then paint the little details seperately and put them on. I'm working on my first tank kit, tamiyas amx-13 and there are lots of little tools and pipes that are half hidden under components, that need to be a different colour, that I dont really know how to get at, unless I leave them off, paint seperately, then put on after painting the rest of the tank.

I like your videos... you don't spend a half hour analyzing the box andparts trees... you actually build the kit!
That's one of my claims to fame :)
This is actually quite relaxing. Well done. And I'm glad to see the tank with my name on it being made into models.
Joseph Stalin they are very overpowered in world of tanks
lol true
Uh I don't think pasta boi is a tank.
Great build as usual! Big news for me and my channel! I'm getting an airbrush!
Good for you!!! :)
+qdc748a I was there when this shit happen I live behind the airport

Greetings from germany :)
You are welcome. I agree this is a beautiful kit with its good details. I also like it for it ease of construction.
You've done it again qdc, another well made model tank!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.
Thank you Qdc, you inspired me to build my own M4A3 Tamiya model kit. I recently bought a Tiger Tamiya model kit, I'll will work on it as soon as it gets here, thanks!!
You are welcome. I think I build that kit a long time ago when I was younger. I think you'll find it a pleasant kit to build.
Great build QDC ,as usual !! keep up the good work.
Thanks. I will.
really cool video, and great build on that monster. glad to see you building again.
You are welcome. :)
I like the technique for the paint work. Great video my friend!
Thanks
Another excellent build!
Very nice, like always. You produce a master piece and you encourage us to do it. Thank you.
Great job on her, QDC. I need to finish mine now.
I think you'll find it easy to build. :)
Thanks man.
That's one of the best looking IS-3 tanks I've ever seen. good job!
Thank you for your kind words :)
As always. Good build and great painting. :)

I have literally been waiting and counting the days for this video. So far, as with every video, I am pleased with the work and like the build. I can't wait for future work! 😃
You're very welcome. It's cool to know that I have a fan like you, thanks. Take care and have a great day!
I want to thank you for your videos QDC, I learned a lot from you and am still learning from you. Keep up the amazing work my friend!
You are welcome :) I hope you keep enjoying this hobby.
Suggestion- next time you mix tile grout for mud effects, try mixing in some model railroad grass and or fallen leaves.
Awesome work, thank you for sharing. Agree with +Sal P, would be cool to see a vid of all your work. Cheers.
You're welcome :)
Another Wonderful Build. I appreciate and respect your Craftsmanship... Have you ever Considered building a Train Model Like the Revell Big Boy Locomotive or Others ?
I might in the future.

You are welcome. Do not worry. Your English writing is fine.

Thank you, Jesus.
Oh my god, what a beautiful model! I wish I could do that with my rc tank, lol
Great build!
You are welcome.
Excellent build, I can't thank you enough for encouraging me to start building models nearly a year ago! It has become my favorite hobby and pastime. I only hope the best for you and your channdel qdc, rock on!
Thank for your very kind words :) Thank you!
very interesting subject Colin. very nicely done mate
Thanks
Your videos made me want to try this out, I have only done one plastic model, and I loved but never got back into it. your work is great.
Cool. It's cool to know that my videos help you decide about building model kits. Thanks for letting me know.
You do great videos keep up the great work.
I need an IS-3, awesome build qdc!
This is a good, easy kit to build. You will not be disappointed building it.
Wow, great kit Qdc! I hope you carry on with modelling for a long time to come!
Thanks. I'll keep doing this hobby until I die. It's really enjoyable for me!
Great job as usual!
Thank you :)
Nice job QDC, you always manage to inspire me and I'm sure a lot of modelers too. Keep these vids coming - so much fun to watch and learn.
You are very welcome :)
Cool build kit Q. I'm from Malaysia and i am doing all the german Artillery and tanks. Watching your videos as guidance as well.
+Hallelujah1979 gosh that'll take a while good luck :)
It's good to know that someone like you uses my videos to build their own kits. :) Have a great day.
+qdc748a Thanks for the reply. Now I'm focusing on the marder III 1/48 scale

Thank you :) I honestly appreciate your kind words.
Great finish! Can you go over some tips on how to paint the figure and how to use the airbrush and maybe some troubleshooting when clogging problems arise with the airbrush? Thanks! Very insightful video!
I'm good at airbrushes. There are other videos on TH-cam that can do a better job than me.
+qdc748a Sounds good
Great build qdc! You build so many tanks, you could make a diorama of the battle of kursk, just a thought.
Thanks for sharing !
You are welcome :)

I just want 2 say.... hello again 😊
:)
Very good my friend 👍😁
Thank you :)
I admire your work! would you please let me know your recipe for mud effect in this video. I couldn't really tell by listening because English is not my first language. Thanks!
Since you like this kit, I think you'll like tamiya's t-55 as well. Perfect fit, looks good, not overly complicated.
He has built the Tamiya T-55A already, and he sure did enjoy it.
I wish I had that . hashtag Don't stop showcaseing toy tanks bro
:)
What type of nippers do you use to remove the parts from the sprue? Are they specialized sprue nips or are the just wire cutters?
Nice build!! What color green did you use? I would like to try a soviet tank.
Excellent as always QDC
I love your videos and builds qdc! :) keep going posting videos please :)
would you recommend to beginners? or would a modern tank like the m1a1 be better?
congratulations Qd. i would also like to see a vídeo of tour collectoon of tanks . think about it.👍
I might.
Any plans on building a science fiction model like a space 1999 eagle? That's my favorite spacecraft of all time.
Keep building QDC, I enjoy watching your work. Nice job!
Thank you. I will. My next kit will be IS-3 arch enemy. It's the Conqueror tank.
an other super good video man :D
Thanks
hello! ive never built a kit but do these parts need glue to stick them to the model or it just stick without using glue?
brill q, as usual, you are one very talented guy, love your vids. take care
Thank you :)
great and relaxing video! keep it up :)
Nice work on the JS-3 Colin. A friend of mine who doesn't have a TH-cam channel wants to ask about what you use for 'buff colour' dust effect at the end of painting :)

sir. my birthday is on January 13. please send me one.. i badly love your works! ur a genius!
Tamiya is always at your Side.
I think thats they're slogan
As always you are the best.But what about to built something from meng?
I might do one in the future :)
What glue are you using? I know this sounds naive. I am just envious of your technique. I specialise in Napoleonics, but to pass the time I have been known to make other things. By the way, why did you pick Bizet's music for the slide show? I think you are a Grand Master
nice you did do a is-3
You are welcome :)
Fantastic build, could you do the Russian B-4 203mm howitzer
Maybe
Awesome build! Where would u recommend getting mineral spirits?
Mineral spirits are commonly found at your local art supply store. I do not know which part of the world you are from so if you can't find it in your area, try E-Bay.
+qdc748a im from az
if you haven't done it yet, you should make an effect where the tank gets hit and the shell goes into the armor but not all the way, so there is like a hole in the armor
I done one like that a few years ago and placed it on TH-cam. I might do another again.
+qdc748a was it the panzer II?
what were you doing with the pencil in that drive wheel? how did you paint the runber on the track wheels? im working on my first ever tank build as a fairly new model. you should maybe look into doing the Academy M1A1 Abrams "warpig" it's a beautiful kit with alot of detail and extra pieces to add to the realism
as always qdc this a great kit, the details of the turret are amazing! . maybe in the future can you make a video on all of the kits you have built and maybe showcase them? you don't need to but it would be cool, thanks :)

beau travaille bravo
Hi QDC...just wondering if you use decal set to draw them down tight to the surface?
Yes, I do. I use Micro Set and Micro Sol. I give a gloss finish where the decal is going to be. Then I place the decal there, apply both chemicals. It works most of the time. If the decal is inferior then it might not work.
thanks..love the vids. Me and my 9 year old are big fans.
At 6:35 to me angle of the tank kind of looks like a shortened is-8 tank for some reason.

Very nice build, if you used the ammo russian khaki set it is more accurate
Do you build any 1/48 or 1/72 scale kits?
Not lately.
Great job, question why didnt you install the tow cable? Still a fantastic job as always!
great video as always
I'd love to see you build a gundam some day, I think your weathering techniques would look great on one
Thanks
Do you use regular or the thin kind of cement? And very nice work as always! :D
I use Tamiya Extra Thin cement.
goodjob
