The 'reinforcements' you refer to, inside the roof, are actually the 'tracks' for the manual loading cranes that lifted the massive rocket ammunition from the racks and into the breach of the launcher - with the assistance of a loading trestle [missing].
I'm not seeing any cup holders..😀
I have also been there back in 1986. Then I went to the German Armor school as a guest of them while I was an instructor on the M1/M1A1 tank in Vilseck, Germany. Very nice museum indeed.
I never knew that the Casemate was just sat on top of the hull and bolted into place. those gaps were huge. What a 'Lash up' affair it was. Thanks for posting.
Andy your channel keeps getting better and better! Now you're giving the Chieftain a run for his money!
Awesome and the 2nd one was in Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland they might of moved it to Fort Knoxs into there museum
You forgot the "Oh no, the tank's on fire" bit.
This is a great museum. I spent so much money at the gift shop. lol. The city is cool too. The street names are like Zeppelin Strasse, Bismarck Strasse.
Wow Andy, what a great opportunity! Thanks for sharing it with us - a fantastic video as always :)
My thoughts exactly!
What an awesome opportunity. Seeing this stuff in person, when you spend so many hours looking at them as scale models, gives you such an appreciation for how menacing they would be, heading in your direction. Not to mention, loads of admiration, for these soldiers ( regardless of the country ), and the life they lived and/or lost, while occupying these cramped quarters
Thanks Andy I love your passion.. cheers from down under 👍🇳🇿
Could this be a clue that you are planning a 1/16 scale version? Please say YES!
Can't wait to see the diorama you make for this one
The gun was originally for harbour defence from submarine attacks
Awesome Andy. Been waiting for this.
VERY cool Andy. Thanks!
Thanks Andy!
Thanks,Andy!
thanks for for sharing what a great experience so much info nice one Andy Steve
Awesome Andy. Looks a great deal larger in 1 to 1 scale. Massive. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Andy.. nice weld and flame-cut reference for a future project
Thank you, Andy. very interesting to watch.
Andy thats totally bad ass!!!
Wow!!
So cool !!!
Excellence!!!
Andy you out did yourself with this view and video really incredible!!
Great video Andy welljell
Jesus, that must have been a wild experience inside there when it fired. Amazed that shoddy bolt-on superstructure didn't just lift right off. 😆
My youngest Daughter's middle name is "Storm" from this Machine❤ Love the Big Katz; She is in really good shape. Too bad it doesn't run😢$$$
I liked seeing the still photos. Very helpful.
Outstanding video and presentation.
I'm glad you had the opertunity to both see and go inside this very rare tiger.
Nice video
Good exhaust colour reference 👍
Thank you Andy 👍
Oh great. I have around 40 car models to build and now thanks to you I want to build some armor! Thanks a lot Andy!
Thanks for the walk-around and reference photos, just so many detailing ideas! Any plans for the museum to get this thing running?
Tanks for the video.
Many Thanks for sharing Andy. 👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing
Very interesting video. Thank you.
Hi Andy, welcome in Lower Saxony ! 👋😁..have a nice time in “DasPanzermuseum“ !!! .kind regards ! 👍😎
i had the privilege of going inside this vehicle about 35yrs or so ago, just looking at the photos' i took, most of the marks are still the same, back then it did not have fenders or side skirts, i took a roll of 24 photos inside but only a few turned out, no digital pic's back then :( i am pretty sure it was in Koblenz museum back then as i was able to go inside a couple of tanks there but not in Munster
Nice 1:1 scale Sturmtiger. Must have gone through some plastic cement putting that thing together
"Let's get started!" 😄
I've been at Munster Panzermuseum a few years back and I must say it is a great museum, I highly recommend it if you are in the vicinity
Nice video tks
why do I get the feeling that this will be the next AHHQ 1/16th scale kit
3:28 thats what the PanzerWaffe crewmen referred to as "Zee Shower Facilities/Hand Washing Station"....;)
It's not the 1/16 Sherman but ok, I'll watch
This things weren't that good, it was designed to destroy buildings but could barely hit them, really crapy accuracy.
Edit: wow, that gap is insane, I would not wana fight inside it :)
Very cool! 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I prefer Tamiya kits, having someone say this is better than Tamiya makes it all the more interesting to build it. I'm on a tight budget I hope it's decently price that I can afford it.
Can't wait when you tell us it's on the shelf. I used to use only Model Master's paint was quite disappointed when it was discontinued. I now use Tamiya paints.
That is a Good Kit,
Your timing with this video was perfect for me Andy, I'm currently building one. Do you know if it was actually found in the field in this colour, or was that just done by the museum? In some places you can see the three tone camouflage underneath, however I'm curious to know weather it was repainted in just dunklegelb when it was converted to a sturm.
Love to see the other tanks there. They have a model of this one?
Awesomeness..😉👍
We NEED a 1/16 Sturm! 😉👍🏻🙏🏻
It needed thick armor to protect from return fire, this tank gave away it's position easily and was to slow to run for cover.
Had to do a double take to make sure this wasn't a chieftain video
The range of these is quite short and they were to attack at close range in urban area
Have to admit it's kind of heartbreaking to look at details that simply cannot be accurately reproduced in scale models. The torch cuts on the frontal armor, easy. The welds not so much. On models that have any at all they look like nicely "stacked nickels" but here look more like a tangle of spaghetti. And those circular locking pins welded in are never seen molded in kits afaik, and trying to scratch them...
Ok, now let’s get busy reproducing this in 1/16 scale!!!!
1/16 scale sturmtiger with interior made by andy hobby headquarters incoming?
Wow what a beast
"crew knocked out"
Cannot imagine being inside one of these during the war shells rounds nades coming at you everywhere Or even a ball gun turret sitting inside one of those
Inside the Andys hatch?
1:15 that's left
Nice! I've been to the Panzer Museum, how did you get permission to go on / in the vehicles? After hours?
Hey Andy! When are the 1/16 jeeps shipping out!
They just showed up and are starting to go out today
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters ok sounds good thanks!👍
I didn't find the German cats to be as big in real life as I expected them to be. But then again, I'm used to big modern tanks, not Shermans and Cromwells.
Two weeks ago I stood beside a King Tiger (and touched it!!!) - and I was awestruck! It was amazingly big and menacing.
King Tiger is taller than a Leopard 2, so they are higher, maybe not longer. However a King Tiger looks a lot more massive than a modern tank like Abrams or Leopard just because you can clearly see the sheer thickness of the armor.
the gun was a depth charge launcher to take out submarines
👍👏
good video. You should check out The Chieftain UA-cam videos. Goes way more in depth of tanks and its history
How can you drive a tank if you can’t see outside
There are a few Munsters in northern Germany. .... Where is this museum now?
@@powertothebauer296 I know.. I speak German...
Haha, BiG cAnNoN gO bOoM
Awesome! How did they handle that huge ammunition?
The ammunition was stored more or less next to the loading rack so that a shell just had to be lowered a few feet onto some rollers, and then shoved into the breech. To clarify, the one in the video is missing it’s loading rack, it would be where Andy is standing at the beginning.
To add to Mr Akana's reply, additional ammo was carried in a vehicle adapted for the purpose and reloaded using the small crane assembly atop the Sturmtiger. There was, after all, only so much room in the casemate and those rounds are very large.
The racks carried 12 rounds, but I’ve read they usually also set out with a round in the breech and another in the loading tray for a max of 14 rounds. The crane and cable look like there was still a lot of heavy lifting by the crew to get ready for combat and to fire and reload the gun, and several were abandoned intact after expending the 14 rounds. Either no fuel, infamous Tiger breakdowns or the crew knew there would be no resupply. I think the other surviving Sturmtiger is in the Russian Kubinka armor museum, which also has an incomplete Maus. Like the Jagdtiger, it had 2 loaders. Must have been very cramped with those huge rounds.
No.....HE wrote that....The Creature...Mozart (paraphrasing from memory🤣)
I don't get why they gave it this massive armor plate at the front. Complete waste of steel.
Because it had to drive very close to it's target. It was made for clearing Bunkers and fortified positions. So it needed to be able to withstand anti tank weapons.
Nazi Germany were so ahead of there time when it came to tanks and weapons
And while you were there you did not notice one single time how Germans pronounce _Sturmtiger_ ?
Maybe your next model kit will be 1/16th Sturmröse tiger. Takom might like the idea.
Thanks for the close up of the sturmtiger, I am a bit disappointed in your amount of knowledge you had regarding the vehicle but I will assume that you didnt know in advance that you would have the opportunity to make a video on this particular vehicle. Also, the primary function of a modeller is to mimic reality. Thus you could be a modeller without really knowing the subject technically. Unfortunately modellers tend to be technically minded and knowing functions and features can help to make more realistic models. As a show and tell video goes, this one tends more towards the showing. I could spot most of your mistakes and omission fortunately so that I could get some value from the footage. I just wonder what more you could have taken footage of had you not been overwhelmed by the interior like you were.
Did you notice he was talking about the right side of the vehicle but was showing the left?
@@wwiiinplastic4712 always difficult to know if the video is mirrored or not
@@elucidator2 Well, that might be true if it were not for the driver's visor being on the side he called right, when it is located on the left. Start at 1:10 and watch/listen carefully.
@@elucidator2 Not sure how many of Andy's videos you have watched but he does not, as a general rule, have in-depth knowledge of all the subjects he reviews. Remember, he owns a hobby shop that sells all kinds of models, not just military subjects. Besides, more casual modelers won't care and experienced modelers will have that knowledge to start. Remember, this is not the Chieftain channel, where they have regular access to the vehicles they review, as well as extensive reference libraries 👍
@@jerryvolpini7987 you either didnt read my comment properly or you didnt read it at all
