Great tip, ill use it for sure

How big is yours? The one I got is only about 4 inches long. Yours looks quite a bit bigger.

I will do something similar, thank you.

Any problems with duct collecting on the sides of the tape?

Would be nice to havevit un 1/16 scale.

Wow, nice!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 That's going to look great; Suggestion;if you can change out the Jerry cans and .50 cal, with better quality ones.

Very good video, like the way you did that, does that brand tool have tool for 1/16 sizetank models?

57?... Plenty of time to take care of that stash and then some. I've got another 10 years on you and am looking at my stash with the same thoughts on time constraints. Building for the enjoyment is what also drives me.

lol goals 🤘🏼

How good was the barrel

That's awesome! Congrats on the find!

Looks great🤩🤩

What brand are the tracks? It was hard to read the box. I love my Tamiya M41 kit. It’s a timeless kit! I recommend the Panzer II G kit with the three soldiers, these two kits are GREAT kits and will always be favorited by myself and others. Good video 👍

Awsome idea!

I have the 1/35 Trumpeter KV-2 (late production) which was their initial new tool in 2005. In terms of fidelity, fit, detail & sub-type fidelity and accuracy, it compares very favourably with Tamiya's new tool IMO, which is kudos indeed. The Trumpeter kit actually has several features going for it over the Tamiya IMV. 1. The tracks. Trumpeter's comes with BOTH outstanding link and length tracks as well as continuous run of quality similar to those in most Tamiya kits. Unusually Tamiya do only L&L in their kit. 2. The Trumpeter kit turret is slide moulded. 3. Trumpeter's also comes with a tub hull which for assembly, is just superior for fit and ease of assembly. Tamiya, unusually for them, but for whatever reason have gone with a Zvezda hull assembly style approach which I detest. 3. Trumpeter comes with copper wire for tow cables instead of nylon string in the Tamiya kit. Just ugh. Another concession to one of Zvezda's abysmal practices which ruins their otherwise quite good value for money and accurate modern tooling kits. 4. Trumpeter's instructions contain a sprue layout & parts legend plus a glossy colour paint & marking guide with GSI Creos colour callouts. A plus for me. 5. Uncharacteristically for Tamiya's AFAIC see from the instructions, no polycaps other than for the drive sprocket? Trumpeters has extensive drive wheel polycaps which are well implemented. 6. Positively for Tamiya, it comes with two figurines. One of the things I love about Tamiya kits. That has to be taken into account when it comes to the price. Trumpeter is vehicle only. 7. Which brings us to... price. Trumpeter wins hands down... in my country. The Tamiya kit here is close enough to twice the price of Trumpeters. 9. The plastic itself. Trumpeter? Superb quality moulded in medium grey, very pleasant to work with. Tamiya's? Dark green...can't comment on quality as I haven't handled the kit. These old eyes would rather work in grey. 10. Decals. Two versions in each, with an edge to the Trumpeter slogan and Soviet insignia for appeal. 11. Both have multi part barrels which kinda' surprised me for Tamiya given their KV-2 tooling stems from as recently as 2021. It rather surprised me with trumpeters too as their KV-1 from the same new tooling year has one of the best slide once piece moulded barrels in a kit I've ever seen. F-34 ZiS- 5 L/42.5 so good I used it in preference to the RB metal barrel I'd bought concurrent with the purchase of the kit. As for the kit KV-2 barrels, nothing between them here really. I bought an RB metal barrel for my KV-2, the only aftermarket part I purchased. I love Tamiya kits, but Trumpeter's KV-2 (& KV-1) series get the two thumbs up from me. They definitely give Tamiya's KV kits a run for their money. Both manufacturer's current tooling 1/35 KVs build into nice models any modeller would be happy with.

Thanks for this unboxing, Rick ! We still have to wait to buy it in Europe. It's good to see new models in this scale. It seems that Hobby Boss better engineered this Dicker Max, than the Panther (which was good but not at Tamiya or Ustar level). As with the panther, it seems that we have to glue all wheels, even sprockets. Could you confirm that ? Alignment with tracks will be a little more difficult (or we'll have to use friul tracks) I hope you'll do a small video about building this model. Your videos are inspiring, i did the same camouflage as you did on the Jagdtiger🙂

One of your pictures in your introduction is a Sturer Emil and not a Dicker Max

Hobbyboss also has a panzer iv f2 and panther a

Wow! Nice kit. 1/48th scale has certainly come a long way! Ive built a couple of Hobby Boss's Sherman kits and the detail was very good. The details of that Dicker Max kit are very, very nice and should make for a detailed build right out of the box! Hopefully, you have no fit issues or problems. I sure wish there were more after market options for 1/48th scale! The 1/48th Friulmodel tracks are definitely a treasure as well, because they can be hard to find.😁Cheers!

Nice set-up. Got ya subbed.

I have one but mine RC shuts 6mm plastic BB

Ah .. you just need to be more aware where the mic is . M

just found your channel i am starting of getting back into making models again after 30+ years looks a great setup that you have there

hi rick, awesome showcase. I would probably hit the edges juuuust slightly with a bit of sandpaper, although i dont know if that would be best edit: forgot to mention, do they have the flattened ridges?

Hey rick, great video, who is the manufacturer please? Cheers Liam

barely audible

Looks like a panther

Very interesting, I love Budapest 💘❤!!

What kind of hobbyist would make 5 vehicles of the same type? I mean hobbyist, not a professional. I thought this video will compare the two brands. Waste of time.

Szia Rick! Ahogy én tudom a magyar tankokat nem vonták be zimmerittel.A járműveket 1944-től egységesen sötétzöld színre festették.A színük Humbrol 114 Russian tank green volt. Most melyik szín felel meg ennek azt nem tudom. A fehér kereszteket gyakorta a fronton átfestették szürkével vagy a jármű alapszínével.

Great video and tank build.

Hey Rick - looks great and the zimmerit looks fantastic cheers Liam

Hoje é dia da Independência dos USA. 04 de Julho de 1776.

That is not a WWII Willys. That's a Ford built M151 MUTT, the jeep of the Vietnam era and beyond

JUSTPLACED MY ORDER WITH AMAZON FOR 2ND ONE

i GOT MY SET IN TWO DAYS FROM AMAZON

Great Job :)!

I have a few myself. They are really fun desk toys!

Amazing results on the sg 122a

Sorry to be the stickler, but this turret is not a Porsche turret. This turret is an “early production turret” actually designed by Krupp (not Porsche) and was planned to be used with Porches proposed hull design that were never produced as the Henschel hull design was chosen. These turrets were never made my Porsche but were instead made by Krupp. The “P” actually stands for “Production” as this was the first turret design for the two competing hulls (Porsche vs Henshel) until Henschel later made their improved version (which is what we see on almost all King Tigers). I usually just call the two either the Production Turret, or the Henschel Turret. Sorry to be the nerd here about this 🤓 Cheers!

why an antena on top gonna break it if the cannon NEED to pass

Nice, I love Tiger 1s

Really cool diorama.

I know the box probably said porsche turret, but they had nothing to do with manufacturing them. All turrets made by krupp...it's early and production turrets. Kit manufacturers should get this right by now. Superb model though.

Nice work Rick. 1/48th unfortunately isn't a very well supported scale but search around for 3D printed track sets, there's more and more on the market lately. Another issue in 1/48th is figures, Tamiya figures are too small which is disappointing. Good to see 1/48th stuff being built, keep the videos coming. TJ

Beautiful model great job.

Excellent, I've built the Takoma King Tiger with early turret, it has moulded on zimermit
