1500 is a great primer, just fair warning though stuff is pretty toxic. So i would advise a spray booth when working with it.

Не масштабный камуфляж...

See the asymmetrical aspect of this turret bothers me far less than the Abrams

Great job! I love this tank, I'll probably do an RC conversion of this 1:35 model next year. This video is very useful as a reference because I'm finishing the same model and camouflage in 1:87 scale. Thanks!

Nice job! 👍

Great build, awesome review! It looks like the real thing! What grey did you use?

I FINALLY saw this video / review!! Too busy, but off work now for X-mas break!!! Look forward in your 'Tamiya' build!! Who's That?!! Why, Hello 'Cleo' !! 🐱🐈

I found that there are not enough reactive tiles to do both sides. Also the resin gun shroud was missing.

Nice review Rick Looks good mate interesting kit . Have a nice weekend and bench time buddy

Great review... At 18:21 the two big rounded grills are for the air intake for the cooling system. The cooling air exhaust is the one your pointing at 11:02 the long horizontal grill over the tail lights... ;)

But watch out for the tow cables I had one break and I had to fix it

I built this and these tracks are easy to put together

Nice unboxing Rick looks a very nice kit will look forward to you build

Nice unboxing, I just picked up an earlier 2a6 since I need the rubber band tracks to motorize and not these hard molded plastic tracks.🙂

If I knew how hard these tracks were going to be, I would have built this kit AFTER the Amusing K51 Panther or 2A8 kit. That's because I could use the jig provided for the tracks in those kits on this Tamiya kit. I would advise you to do that to make it easier to assemble these tracks. As I mentioned before, the hinge pins on this kit are very breakable. So go easy.

Great review Rick. Looking forward to seeing the finished results

hello I was wondering if you could help me find a after market kit for my merkava tank I need a tropy system for my LIC model :)

Hey Rick! I recently got the 1/35 REVELL Leopard 2A6/A6NL kit. I haven't been able to find a review from you on this particularly kit, but I'm curious if you've done it yet or know somebody who has that could tell me any hiccups it may have? I'd like to do it up as a Ukrainian Leopard but I'm not 100% set on that idea as I'll be doing a Ukrainian T64 BV MOD 1985 for a Ukraine diorama in the future. Hope you have a great day, keep on modeling buddy!

It's great, not to mention timely, to hear your initial positive response to this kit as a niece of mine has just returned from a business trip to Tokyo and has brought me back this exact kit, at a fraction of the cost here (UK). I really like the inclusion of the basket PE press tools introduced by Tamiya - perhaps it'll catch on with other manufacturers. I'll hold off building my kit until you've been able to do yours, and provide us eager followers with your thoughts and comments. Thanks for doing these videos

@5:40 Same tracks here as the Amusing Panther model. Almost looks like there might be a small SQUARE/RECTANGULAR piece under the tracks here where it says "F1" and "F3". Is that a JIG?

So I am building the latest Tamiya Leopard, the 2A7V. Tamiya has always been my favorite model kit maker. But THAT model is the WORST. And that is because of the tracks. It took me hours upon hours to make those tracks. The hinge pins break too easily, and the tracks do NOT always snap together, nor do they stay connected. No jig provided. No fun at all. I am spoiled by those Tamiya rubber band vinyl tracks that go on in seconds. But not those crap tracks. VERY aggravating. I have been buying Tamiya kits since 1978, but I am thinking that if Tamiya continues to use that track style, I may never buy another Tamiya kit again. Then I noticed that 2 kits that I have at home waiting, the A8 and THIS Panther (apparently the name "Cheetah" was not good enough) BOTH have very similar tracks. Oh what fun. So I clicked on your vid here to see how you built the tracks. These may be better because the hinge pins are double and more sturdy and less likely to break. Is there is a jig supplied in the Panther kit? Because there appears to be small squares on the track sprues. Did you build these tracks using a jig?

'Rick', nice tutorial........ question a Very Different method and just curious of what you think of it..... Have you tried a burnishing liquid, the kind that you "darken/weather" metal tracks??? Just asking.

Hi, great work, you've made a wonderful model. My deepest condolences for your dog. Best regards from Saxonia!

Hello, I drove the tank with the registration number Y-794-924 during my time in the 160th Panzer Pioneer Company in the late 1980s. The model is really great. It brings back old memories. Great work. I'm impressed. Greetings from northern Germany.

Outstanding build once again Rick.👍

Great looking build, like the mobile bridge👍

Nice finish on this build Rick. A great vid and very informative. Take care my friend and speak soon

Позорище, повесил шеврон нацистского батальона азов на стенку, эти люди мучают, убивают, казнят мирных жителей, тьфу бля.

GREAT Explanation of weathering CHALKS!! I have some of those chalks, but never used them for what you mentioned in the video.... of them "dilute some of the colors". Thanks for THAT piece of info.🤔 I'm going to try to look at your progress thru your 'FB' site...just kinda curious on how your built this....since I Also, have This tank as well as the Leo2 AVLB. Sorry to hear about 'Apollo'....I would see him in Every video, since I 'Sub' your channel. I miss my 'Blu' beagle, Our Family dog...you'll see her in Every video as a watermark in da corner. And Yes, We WILL see our dogs/pets in 'Vahalla'!!

Stunning model Rick. Very well done. Great tips and demo as usual. Sorry to hear about Apollo

Hi Rick, that was a exceptional build and your paint finish was also exceptional, congratulations on a job very well done, best regards from Australia, Les

Great video Rick, with some very handy and useful tips on both painting and weathering. With regards to the diesel spills, your process provides an interesting alternative to the ready made products provided by Ammo and Vallejo etc. Excellent work all round, as per usual...

Awesome build as always 👌

Great build review Rick. Good luck with the wet stuff my friend

Another excellent build Rick thank you for bringing it to us 👌👌👌

hello, could you please tell me in the comments all the materials I need and what I need to do with them

This is your first American tank, right?? 😊

Hi Rick nice to see you back in action buddy :) Nice build and paint video , the paint job looks awesome. Keep up the good work . Have a nice weekend and bench time my friend

Thx for showing. A very nice model

That IS a nice build..... no PE, no little itty-bitty parts, but..... were there poly-caps for the wheels? I didn't see any, nor on the barrel mounting to give it Some stiffness?

Hi Rick, that was a great build, I thought it was goingbto be a camo scheme, but no, do you think this tank will ever become operational? Bedt regards from Australia, Les

Excellent build and review Rick. Many thanks

I just bought this kit, and I heeded your suggestion about buying it from a hobby store. Actually, I ordered it from Amazon, but it came from Andy’s Hobby Store, the UA-camr in Arizona. It was shipped in a cardboard box and Andy put wrapping paper around the actual model box to keep it looking nice. I noticed that the model box cover was not taped closed. When I opened it, I found the part you specified was inside a plastic box, like what dice would come in. So MAYBE Andy knew about your problem and opened the kit and placed the part in the plastic to protect it.

hi what is the width of the trailer in mm thanks

Excellent

all my 3d printed resin parts were in tiny little plastic boxes

Дякую! Ваші відео дуже надихають!

Thanks for a straightforward and helpful video 👍
