For what it is worth, AK11144 is really close to the same color of the PE included with this kit. Not "perfect" but closer than Mig 223.

The first few minutes in this is called a "modern aircraft", had to chuckle because I said the same thing before I realized it is a 60-year old plane :-)

Hi Brett, that will make a excellent build, I remember the kit coming out many years ago, so I assume it is a re-release, good luck with the build looking forward to the next update, best regards from Australia, Les

Those F1 cars are most beautiful. Great video entrance for what's comming.

I just stared this kit, you missed the step 2 part where you cut the excess plastic on the bottom hull front edge. That’s why you have a huge gap in the armour plate on the front edge.

hey, sorry for the comment 4 years later, but what paint did you use? did you actually use the mig Rotbroun 014?

Good review, I have that kit waiting to be assembled.

Have you ever tried the old metatizer paint series? I think they got bought out by testers years ago) They had a buffing and a non buffing series. I seem to remember the buffing ones specifically stated to put over bare plastic. If you were careful with your buffing ( don't burn through) you could get fantastic finish.

I wanted a Partridge Family bus as a kid. I was going to move to California and marry Susan Dey!

Wow, that's awesome.

Geez I use Mr Surfacer black… think I’m going to try white

Hi Brett, the M21 has turned out a real stunner, overall there is nothing wrong with the o.det Tamiya kits, I have just finished their old T43/85, and it was a pleasure to build, my only issue aas the few mistakes I made, great build series mate, thanks for sharing, best regards from Australia, Les

Your excellent work has given this older kit a new lease of life. The result is great and convincing, Brett. A cool model which can be present everywhere. Best wishes and a nice weekend. Joachim

That’s a nice looking half track. Well done sir

Love the weathering Brett. Great job

Looks fantastic Brett!! You made that old kit pop! You inspired me to order one also! Cheers!!😁

Very clean paint job. For metal parts like shovels, consider applying VMS metallic pigment (No. 25) to the painted surface and then burnishing it down. When it works right, the result is a truly metallic finish. Thanks for the video and the build.

Awesome halftrack 😎👍

Sprue B or not sprue B, that is the question.

Hi Brett, the M21 is looking awsome, the OD looks great, looking forward to the next update soon, best regards from Australia, Les

That halftrack is looking great! Well done Brett!!

Looking good 💥👍💥

A impressive finish, which shows a great result. It shows the hard work that was put in and makes you satisfied. Best wishes, Joachim

Amazing finish, Brett! It’s a big model. The color variation of the OD looks great. Take care! Drew

Tried this on one of my problem bottles of paint and it works!! Thank you so much!!

Coming along! Nice build.

Hi Brett, this build is looking great, it just goes to show what can be done with a older Tamiya kit, price wise their older kits are some of the best on the market, looking forward to the next update, best regards from Australia, Les

what i do with all my clear parts is i use pledge floor polish and dip in and allow to dry hard overnight. then i can mask and paint very easily and if i make a mistake i use a damp pointed qtip to clean it away. works really good.

Looking good 👍

In the middle of building this model and followed you from part 1. Amazing how you forget that the kits in the mid 70’s just didn’t quite go together so well without some head scratching.

you need xuron sq nose pliersfor small stuff. just bought and they wok great for tiny parts.

Decals look great if the carrier film ends at the decal print.😊

I’ve been told by Steve Evans of Ronin Graphics decals 🇦🇺 that a drop of dishwashing liquid in the water greatly aids sliding them around. He screen-prints his sheets as well.

Interesting update Brett! You shouldn't have too, but would fine sanding the decals be of any help? And p.s. you probably put the decals on better than the ground crew ever painted them, they could be quite workmen like with painting!

All in all the plane turned out nice. I haven’t used their 1/24th scale decals before but have used several of their 48 scale decals without much issues. But you are correct, the insignias are a little thick. I didn’t use the micro set and sol, I used the tamiya mark set. Didn’t do any damage.

Sorry Brett, I should have said, M21, Les

Hi Brett, the M3 is looking great, I know it is an early Tamiya kit, but it is still building into a great model, their earlier kitscare still some ofbthe best about, plus it would not have a high parts count bedt regards from Australia, Les

Looking good there Mr. G

Thank you for the very helpful video. But this is just too tedious for me. Even link and length tracks are too much. I'm totally happy with the "lowly" vinyl tracks. I'm a modeler after all and I can make vinyl tracks look realistic. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Nice update, the paint job looks great. I am curious about Draw Decals ... I do own one sheet, and they make a lot of unique sheets of interesting subjects.

If you leave the canopy off, they'll paint the cockpit for free. 😁

Nice progress on the mustang. I used draw decals on my quick silver mustang. I like them. Only a couple seconds in the water. They’re printed as a single piece, so cut out closely to the decals edge. lol, the earl shive bit in the beginning 😅

lol, looking for next part :D

Looking great

Hey Brett! Still waiting for part 6 and the finished product. Awesome work you did on this model. Building this model now, reschribing the whole model just now, painting and decals gonna be like the boxart, Regards from Björn Eriksson IPMS Uppsala/Sweden

Hi Brett, Glad you’re pleased with the Tamiya Modelling File. 👍😎

The poly caps are on the sprue with the tracks.

Very nice halftrack chassis.😊

Hi Brett, you are making great progress on the half track, I believe thst these older Tamiya kits are still vet good value, for bothe the beginner and the more experienced amongst us, because who really wznt a kit thst is 2-4 times the price of thix Tamiya likts and about five timex the parts count, looking forward to the next update, best regards from Australia, Les
