5-Step Weathering Tamiya's Quad Gun Halftrack
We are going to do a bit of weathering that includes some oil filtering, hairspray, paint brush detailing, dusting, splatter, and pigments. The Tamiya M16 MGMC Halftrack builds into a nice attractive kit. Even without any weathering, the kit can stand on its own. But like some of you, I like to give my models extra points of interest by giving the model proper weathering.

      Yes, directly onto the OD paint: the OD is acrylic and won't react to the oils. Second, the matt OD paint provides a nice rough canvas for the oils to stick on the surface

    Good video!!! Have been working on this very same kit for about 2-years now (other projects seem to call me away from this kit). About 75% complete. Nice easy kit with a respectable interior. Yep - i remember when this kit first came out way back in those ancient days of the 1980s - came out roughly same time as their version of the M1 Abrams 105mm gun tank, Was not into modeling back then. Also, can remember when the Bradley's first arrived in West Germany. I was in the US Army and stationed in West Germany. Was at Vilseck with a few friends and we went to the movie theater. The rail head just happened to be across the road from the theater. There was a chain-link fence separating the theater area from the rail head with concertina wire/barb wire on top. However, for whatever reason the security personnel left the gate open to the rail head. My friends and I were waiting for the movie to start and noticed some activity over at the rail head. We wandered on over to the open gate and noticed these NEW types of vehicles being unloaded. Since back in those days the US Army still was using the M113 APC, we figured, " Hmmm...must be those newfangled vehicles everyone was talking about". The Bradley's were in that olive color as well. After about 10-15 minutes or so someone finally noticed that the gate to the rail head was open (and a good-sized crowd just happened to be gathering/watching the unloading). Security finally did their job and chased everyone away, closed/locked the gates. Did get some good photos!!! Noticed in some comments that people busting out Tamiya. Well, I'll take a Tamiya kit anytime!! Easy to build; do not have 15 parts to make 1 part; does not have a ga-zillion unnecessary teeny-tiny parts that are easily lost; blah, blah, blah. Sometimes I do not need to have every single microscopic handle, nut/bolt, whatever recreated and take 10-hours to place on the model. Best part about Tamiya kits: the INSTRUCTIONS!!!!! Easy to follow instructions and parts placement is almost always exact. Most these other manufacturers instructions leave a lot to be desired. Have been times when I had to look up on internet of an actual vehicle to see where a part is placed because the instructions were "confusing". Tamiya instructions??? The best!!! Have built plenty of kits from plenty of manufacturers and, well, choose what is best for you and you like.

    The other option would be to buy two sets of the stencils giving you multiple sets of numbers. It would be nice though if the makers provided multiple rows of each number, or at least 3 or 4 of each number for this purpose.

    To be fair: none of the Tamiya kits have the features of a modern ki, none of the bells and whistles. On the contrary! This is what really means "It's a Tamiya!". On barrels: Tamiya still can't figured them out. They give you the worst barrels of the whole industry. To a Tamiya kit you MUST buy an aftermarket barrel. Most of the time the kit part has nothing to do with reality. (For example the Matilda II and the Valentine used the same 2 pdr gun, only the counterweight (aka the muzzle flare) differed somewhat. But in the two Tamiya kits they are not even resemble each other. And even farther from the real one. And those are quite simple and small barrels. And these are among the newer kits of Tamiya Matilda II from 2009, Valentine from 2017. And the Valentine's barrel is the worse.) There is only one thing Tamiya matches with the modern kits: price. Practically all newer Tamiya kits overpriced, at least twice. You can buy a much better Sherman from Zvezda for half the price. You can buy a much better KV-1 from Trumpeter for half the price. End so on. The list is as long as the Tamiya armour catalog. Their older kits are better, because those are priced correctly. That means those are cheap. Or you can buy a far superior T-55 from RFM for a bit more money, a far superior Sherman from Asuka (or RFM again), etc. Well, Tamiya Shermans are in the joke category, even for half the price, even compared to the Italeri Shermans made from 1977.

      Tamiya is not cheap. They probably are one of the very few companies that are willing to spend substantial amount of money and effort on R&D, and pioneer in providing many new and interesting products( including educational kits for children)for different type of customers. So they are quite different from those late comers who: first make profit through coping other's footprint (this maybe the reason why we have so many Tiger I model kits today)and make further profit by adding extras to the same types of models (this maybe we now have the word "over engineering" model kits)

    • @egyeneskifli7808
      @egyeneskifli7808 Місяць тому

      @@ronaldchang8885 Their armour kit's R&D goes only one direction: how can they make cheaper tools for making them. This is why they developed the "flatpack" lower hulls (no, detail level clearly wasn't in the list for them). A typical bathtub style lower hull needs much more complicated tools to make. So they can cut the manufacturing price considerably by making the hull from sheets. But their engineers make dumb mistakes. Again the Tamiya Shermans, at least the newer ones (M51 and Easy 8). They placed the ejector pins on the outer side! So their newer Shermans has no less than 15 ejectorpin marks on both sides of the hull. Two on each side of the bogey arms, inside the screw line. Good luck clearing those... What a dumb decision. And there are still people who dare to say "Tamiya engineering is second to none." What a bullshit fanboyism. Detailwise their lower hulls has nothing to run home about. Mediocre at best. But you are right Tamiya is not cheap. But they are not premium or even high quality either.
