Great video. A good reminder that our tiny plastic parts are actually huge hunks of metal. I really like your advice when the instructions seem a bit screwy.
I used to fly high powered rockets & built a V2, was an awesome 🚀 I really enjoyed this build and the subject. Something different. Thanks Andy.
I just bought the Raumer and the V2..perfect timing for your videos
Looking good Andy, can't wait to see the finished product!!!
You probably are the best youtube channel regarding building model kits - every single video you make is very good. Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words.
I served in bundeswehr as a panzergrenadier. It was not fun to "kettenkloppen" at the Marder but I always thougt: " my grandfather had much more struggle with their tracks so calm down :)"
nazis?
Very nice stuff there Andy - Looking forwards to part 2.
Wow! I have a whole new perspective on those tracks and how big they actually were! That's awesome Andy. Us modelers can start lifting tracks pieces for workouts now, we can get up once and awhile from the bench😂😂
yes I got a work out just doing the video
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters You sell these models
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters BONJOUR je suis français et puis-je savoir ou l ont peut se procurer cet article de v 2 cordialement !
Great video. The tracks were really nice. great kit looking forward to see more. thx for sharing Andy.
Thank you for watching!
Great Job! The rocket itself looks like the old dragon kit.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great kit. Can't wait for part 2
Thank you for another great video...I hope all finds you well....
wow Andy great video one of your best so far ,that's a nice kit .
thanks for showing the tracks
Brilliant work as always Andy, keep them videos coming! 👍👌👏
Thank you for watching!
Andy, you have rocketed to the top of my list of model channels. Great skills, interesting
subjects and I LOVE the classical music you add as filler. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you for watching!
40 odd years ago when I was in the army I was in a sp artillery unit and drive an m577 command post carrier. It was only a 13 ton vehicle but I had to break apart the track for repairs on numerous occasions and though it was much smaller than a panther the tracks still weighed a small ton! Don't recall if I've ever seen you build a 577, but would love to watch that. I've been planning to build one and do the interior like my old track with a complete fire direction center. Thanks for all the great shows
Awsome tank tracks Andy . great build as always. this will be an impressive model
love your videos. keep up the good work. you gave me grade tips thank you
Fine Job Andy👍👍
Tiene muy buena pinta esa referencia de takom. Gracias por mostrarnos tus técnicas
Andy nice job. Like every time. I like your quick build. Wait for next part...
Really nice masking! Good job Andy.
thats amazing,thank you so much for sharing.
This is really cool. You make the build easy to understand and very watchable.
great tip about the putty. i am gonna buy some
Awesome. Those tracks are like looking at dinosaur fossils.
Your Channel is awesome you got me back into modeling after all these years
a great model! Great video greetings from the Rhineland
I really am looking forward to building this model Andy. And the saucer you built. I'm just waiting for them to become available in the UK. nice work
I love the tracks, Nice!
Wow Andy, very cool.
Andy, thanks for mentioning what lacquer clear coat you used! I called your shop a week or two ago to ask, and the guy who answered said that's what you used. Huge fan, got me back into the hobby!
I'm looking forward getting the kit myself, thanks for the information 👌
Another fine one.. This one and the Raumer Mine Roller were the two of the three I was looking for my next build. . I like the rare stuff. The V-2 looks much better than the old DML kit. (I built it many years ago) You've narrowed my selection down to the Riich 1/35 Skoda Radschlepper Ost. I built it years ago. Vacuform. lol
Thanks for the vid. Well done. :)
Awesome work Andy!
As alwaysAndy, really enjoyed watching the video, picked up a few very handy tips. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing your track links with us. That's the kind of thing you want to see but never got to. I did some research on the Hanamag and as far as I could determine , they were mostly used by civilian concerns and we're in common use before the war. I have never seen them used by the Heers but I'm sure they were far behind the lines for hauling the heaviest of loads to the Army distribution center for trips to the forward distribution points. They were also used at Penemunde to move V1's just like the kit shows. Also I believe that "L-shaped" area you filled in is a vane used to control the direction of the missile and we're moveable. Sorry I didn't see this sooner.
very nice kit, good work
Very impressive andy !! I was very impressed by the way you painted the model! I loved it! And also I feel a lot of saver that you have a piece of history in your store! Take care of those chains! Greetings from guadalajara jalisco mexico !!! :D
Those tracks are in very good condition great to see a panther track if you want to know more about the different versions of panzer tracks Adam Mann's channel has a good video on them.
Another good looking build should be adding one to my ever expanding stash
Hi Andy,
Well you certainly do like a lot of different subjects, for your effort so far I would give you 10/10, the build is looking great.
Cheers,
Les
Another great job Mr A.
great video. i am tempted to get this kit myself.
well done with the channel. your videos are concise and easy to understand. which is probably why you are getting so many subs.
Is it bad that I recognized the Panther track immediately from watching your videos?
Interesting artifacts, glad you shared it with it.
Thank you for watching! and its not bad at all that you can identify them lol.
Very fine model , indeed! One objection ....
During the development in Peenemünde the V2 was painted in the mentioned checkerboard fashion. This was because the technicians wanted to be able to observe from greater distances if the rocket "rolls" during the flight , which was not desired. So the V2 during development and testing in Peenemünde used this checkerboard pattern. But you are making a "field"-version of the V2. Not a test-rocket. So the field missile has camouflage , not the checkerboard painting.
This looks like an awesome kit. I've enjoyed all of your episodes I've seen. Subscribed.
thuis is a Nice kit Andy realy like it
I'm getting this model very soon. It looks like a great kit.
Update
They sent me the 1:72. Thankfully they will exchange for the 1:35. Phew....
Cheers Tom Dixon
Andy the master kit builder!
I love Tamiya thin cement but sometimes I feel like it gives up too easily on smaller parts. I guess it balances out when you need to correct a mistake but i wish there was a stronger bond for a thin cement like that sometimes.
its very cool good build !
Great Video, I love it. Greetings from Germany.
siempre veo tus videos y son de mucha utilidad para mejorar mis modelos. felicidades desde mexico.
Looking good Andy :)
Thank you
sweet, very cool
Really interesting model.
Thank you for watching!
excellent video Andy nice to see real ww2 relics, really mad to think Germany launched loads of them V2 rockets at my country. Looks like a fantastic kit and good work buddy.😃😃
Thank you
cough *v1*
GREAT JOB!
Great video. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you for watching!
Those pieces of track remind me of dinosaur bone fossils. Big dinosaurs!
I hope to see more of these type,of vehicles. I can't wait to get a modern mobile launcher set
i love it
Beautyfull Video
andy fire behind you
Great video Andy. Im building the King Tiger and Skoda Turtle at present. I sometimes wonder if any of the designers have ever built one of their own kits. Takom instructions leave me bewildered sometimes. They should take a look at a Bandai kits.
Nice video andy, greetings from Chile, u got a new suscriber!
Hi Andy geez you got this one quick nice job so far. I am going to pick one up for a sci-fi mod :)
very cool build, personally I've never used any of those TAKOM kits, as a former us army field artilleryman (M109A3) I understand the track differences. but I do know that most folks don't , lol!
Seems to be a nice kit, but what about a diorama with the V2 and your Hanebu flying saucer? It would be kind of a unique project.
Really nice video and interesting model, i have a T-34 tracklink at home and i display a T-34 model on it :)
I also do things like that and it's so cool. So far I have built up one abrams a1m1 and one American sherman tank
Wtf, Ive been playing world of tanks for 2 years and this is the first time I've ever seen an in depth look at tracks
Want that big rocket
I've been waiting for this.....
Great build and a great video. I like Takom products but I wish they would do something about the thick attach points on all of their products...it takes forever to clean them up.
yes and lots of connection points,Thank you for watching!
Disagree. Takom has very little clean up compared to others.
good stuff
Thank you
and i like the panzer trhee and panther track;)
Where’s trailer/ rail hold missile raise up then on launch stand , two claws release , rail hold down to trailer , drive away from missile sit on launch stand for ready to launch .
building this kit right now. FYI, the rivet detail is way overdone on the V2. These were primarily spot welded.
I have heard elsewhere that Takom inadvertently modeled the SS100 kit on a museum example that had post-war tires, so the ones in the kit aren't accurate for this situation. Is this something you've noticed?
I would also like to know if there is a tow hitch on both ends of the Meilerwagen. In the box art, the V-2 is pointed forward, when in a launch video I have seen they were actually towed from the other end of the 'wagen up to the portable launch pad so there needs to be a hitch on the rear in addition to the tow bar at the other end. Are such parts in the kit?
amazing! thanks for sharing the build, great as usual. i see that with checkered paint, the v2 looks similar to the moon rocket if Tintin except it's black and white instead of red and white, and the legs. also the tracks are wonderful, where did you get them?
I think the chequered pattern was applied more to test rockets than it was for those used offensively. It was any easy way to see if the rocket was rotating
Wow, where did you find those tracks? Great to see them in the video.
Andy as always great build!!!!!! Just wondering if you are ever going to finish the train diorama you started??? Keep up the videos I look forward to them!!!!
just by looking at your build. would it be easier to attach the leveling jacks to the upper plate first since they each have three points of contact? and looks like a fine model might pick this up some day
eres un artista
Hey Andy, could you in the future build more modern Russian armour ? Nice work btw
Any idea of the parts count in the kit? Great job, love your videos. Keep up the good work
WOW
What do you use as trees and bushes for your dioramas? Also does your online store ship worldwide? Thanks great vid by the way
I'm rather stunned to see that Takom apparently doesn't give any provisions at all for the cable mast system that's attached to the upper rotating ring.
Wow, that panther track link is _huge_. Where did you get them from Andy?
What do you use to protect the acrylic Tamiya paints from the chemicals used in weathering?
The V2 and the mobile launcher system were Actually quite advanced bits of technology for the time. If they had been employed on a more tactical level against the red army or the allied fleet at DDay they would have had a far greater effect on the war instead of terror bombing london. Terror bombing of cities just wasnt an effective use of either sides resources and just became a way to cause harm to civilians both german and British.
Andy, Can I ask which paints or situations would you use a spray booth? I have one with my airbrush, but I only spray acrylics, so I'm not sure if it is strictly necessary. I actually have a gauze over the nozzle of the extract pipe because it doesn't reach the window, and this does get pretty stained by the excess paint that gets sucked through. Are acrylic fumes harmful at all, or is it just for preventing over spray in the room?
Yes Yes Yes!!!!
Thank you
Hi Andy! Are you ever going to pick up on the railyard dio?
Traffic light would put an end to that machine lol:).
my friend have a track from a tiger 2 or a tiger H1
Question: Why didn't you leave one side of the hood open to display the motor?
