I agree, those Asuka .50cal's are the best aftermarket plastic option you can get and lift most US vehicles. The Tamiya .50cal is.... well, not great. It's alright for a kit supplied 50 I suppose though. Looking great so far; looking forward to seeing what you do with this in the paint. Nice that you're moving your bench too - somewhere bigger and more purpose built I hope! Great video thanks for sharing.
The Asuka 50s are great! I tend to snatch them up whenever a I see them for a good price. Though the Tamiya 50s from the 1990s were good for their time compared to other mainstream offering. Though their current 50s found in their Achilles is actually very very good and gives the Asuka ones a run for their money. My workshop isn't getting a massive upgrade just moving benches lol
greetings from Ireland mate! glad your enjoying the series so far! And as luck would have it I should have the next part (detailing the exterior) out in the next few days!
so I only own their new Achilles though I am sure it must be the same .50 in all their new kits, and I have to say its on par with the Asuka and does some things better such as the ammo cans which modelled in use rather than a sealed can in basically everyone else kits
@@longlance67 Do the tie downs come in singles or in a sorta bundle? If so how many? It isn't specified on the website, unless im stupid and cant see it lol.
thanks mate, really glad you are enjoying the series, I hope an episode about creating a simple base for the finished M8 up soon to finish out the series. So stay tuned :)

*Very nice result for this "simple" turret!*
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent work on the turret, looking much better now,!
Thanks 👍 It was a very enjoyable process to get a little more out of the kit
(only just got around to watching this vid), Nicely done as ever, Shane... hopefully you'll continue with it and post your progress.
Best from NZ.
greetings from Ireland mate! glad your enjoying the series so far! And as luck would have it I should have the next part (detailing the exterior) out in the next few days!
Great... looking forward to it.... in the meantime, I'll get back to the bench here.... (another M10 and a Sherman !).
What took you so long to make another video!
I'm kidding these things take forever
that they do, haven't had a lot of time at the bench of late
Looking good! Question, what is your opinion on the newer .50 Cal included in the newer Tamiya Kits, such as the Korean War Sherman and M10 Achilles?
so I only own their new Achilles though I am sure it must be the same .50 in all their new kits, and I have to say its on par with the Asuka and does some things better such as the ammo cans which modelled in use rather than a sealed can in basically everyone else kits
@@longlance67 Thank you! Yes I would have to agree.
Excellent. Beautiful work.
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for the tip on weld beads
cheers mate! There's even more weld bead goodness in the newest episode of this build which is now live :)
m8 Greyhound is my biggesssssst love ❤️.
Its one of my favorite US. Vehicles too. You should enjoy my series of the M8
@@longlance67 m8 Greyhound is my utmost biggesssssst love ❤️ 😁😁😁
It's nice work. Also, I'd like to see the painted turret. Thanks for sharing.
Coming soon!
nicely done dude!
Thanks mate!
what is the product used for the turret tie handles?
the tie down loops are from resin items from Tiger Model Designs
@@longlance67 Do the tie downs come in singles or in a sorta bundle? If so how many? It isn't specified on the website, unless im stupid and cant see it lol.
Now that's better. UA-cam is a lonely place without a good video of yours to sink one's teeth into! ( Which means yaay, he's back!) :)
glad it was worth the wait! I have more vids planned over the summer!
Love the cast effect..now I've got yet another model paint to buy 😩
you can never have too many lol
I'm building an M8 too. Love watching these builds.
cheers mate, hope your build is going well!
Very clever stuff 👍
A great snappy presentation.
Thank you kindly!
really enjoying this build series, cheers Stu NZ
thanks mate! glad your enjoying it so far! I hope to have more updates up soon
Well done sir. The weld beads especially impressed me.
Thank you! Its a simple and fun detail to add and really adds a lot to the finish
This is helping give me ideas on my M8 build. Really enjoying the series.
thanks mate, really glad you are enjoying the series, I hope an episode about creating a simple base for the finished M8 up soon to finish out the series. So stay tuned :)
@@longlance67 Perfect timing! I'm looking forward to that.
I just finished this kit. I'm probably going to be seething with jealousy by the time I'm done watching this.
hopefully the video will not disappoint
@@longlance67 I'll drop a pic on your FB page.
@@russemerson4872 awesome!
@@longlance67 Your video did *not* disappoint... except insofar as it shows me my own shortcomings.
@@longlance67 It's in the comments on your post from April 8th.
