He is absolutely one of the best. He kind a getting to the point of interest. Some of the others just talk talk talk never comming to the point except the point is more to talk about themselfs.. ;.)
Pretty cool looking model and with a lot of accessories, though I would like if it contained the entire tank crew. That in my opinion would be pretty sick, especially for display purposes.
This is just incredible! Thank you Andy, RFM and others is pushing the hobby which is great!!!!! More , types, ideas , thank you again for all this Andy You are a true positive force for the industry and hobby Will you build and paint one of these beasts? I recently ordered the Tiger I Tunisia RFM with and with out, i hope they corrected minor fit issues, the tracks were fairly easy to build, but lots of work!!!! Great preview Andy !!!! Cheers Buddy!!
I am building the RFM Sherman with full interior at the moment. I really enjoy making these kits and they are a mega build. They are not really for a novice builder and there are lots of very small parts where loads of thumbs are needed. I use two tweezers a lot of the time and it is surprising how quickly you become proficient at doing this. There are also many very tiny decals on the shells.
@@danmeehan1390 I haven't built the tracks yet. I'm sticking to the instructions and i am just finishing the lower hull interior so suspension and tracks next. They look to be a big job to build. So far my main difficulty has been that the ammo sitting in the container has been too tall to fit the turret floor so I shortened the cartridge stubs a little.
@@danmeehan1390 I am building the tracks now and two words come to mind. "Mind numbing" There are five pieces per link with 152 links to make. I have got fairly slick at it but it is still taking me about 3 minutes per link to de-sprure and clean up the parts then assemble. I also find it extremely difficult to apply glue without getting it in the track pins. I can see how some people say life is too short but the positive is that the tracks do build up to be super realistic.
Nice kit. Interesting in that it is reverse of the other interior kits I've done. Meaning this kit doe the engine compartment first then the fighting compartment. Looking forward to building this.
Looks like a nice kit. I'm building the MiniArt Panzer IV with full interior... 41 plastic sprues and 2 PE. It's frazzling my brain at the moment,so i've had to start a simpler kit just to give my brain a rest.
I understand the latest YT algorithm is biased toward comments, so I am making a comment because I like this type of video. I have this kit, with the upgrade, but I am going to work on some other kits first to improve my weathering skills.
RFM have gone from incredibly detailed but some clean up required to still incredibly detailed and I think now also very cleanly moulded and well thought out attachment points.
RFM used Tacom to make the mold press. Massive connection points. Great detail, but I sure hope there will be a fuel line and wiring diagram for those of us who want to go a step further. An engine without a fuel line??? Thanks Andy and nice to see you get close to 200K subs and still be a regular guy :)
That's a lot of plastic. Thanks for the peek inside the box. I'm with you, I want a StuG IIIG with the saukopf mantlet and complete interior, plus schuertzen. And since I'm dreaming, I'd like it in 1/16th scale as well. The presentation format is fine. You know what to point out and what not to and how much attention to give everything. Keep it up, I like what you're doing.
Interesting point you make about a lack of room inside the Mk.3, as the Chieftain remarked that he found it quite comfortable and he is over 6' tall - !
It would be awesome to visit the store, being in the uk its a bit tricky ! But one day. The kit looks awesome ! I get burnt out pretty easy if there's an interior involved.
You are my got to for the best armour/modelling vids on UA-cam. Friendly, informative and skilled. You were practically salivating over that kit. As was I. Astonishing level of detail. Thank yet again Andy.
I've appreciated any attempt kitmakers make at interiors since I built a self-propelled howitzer kit in the 1960s. It was extremely basic with the typical two-piece breech and "inflated" detail of the day, and one-piece ammo stowage. Still, it was cool to open the rear doors and look in. As for workable tracks- all we had was rubber bands and we thought we liked them. These days with brass scale handles, printed parts and so forth are simply amazing. It's nearing the point that some bits look like real parts were hit with the "Honey I shrunk the kids" ray, know what I mean? Yes, that means I'm sitting here slavering, waiting for the build video. You *are* going to do a build video, right? Right?
I built the RFM Panzer IV with those tracks and it was a nightmare. After building the track they kept breaking when trying to install them. I’m more or less forced to get metal to finish it. Andy I can’t wait to see your build video on this PIII.
Thanks Andy for your continued high quality video. What is slide moulding? Also your comments on the interior. The German army soldier were a lot smaller than your typical American of ww2. Infact it was recorded by several German soldiers that they were surprised at the size of the Americans invading Europe. Amazed at detail great video, more please. When's the build coming out.
Great review! Having just got the new Stug III Ausf.G (also with full interior and very similar) it is interesting to note that there are no colour call-outs other than the basic camouflage! There is not even a separate sheet (as shown at 21:02) so you'd have to be pretty familiar with panzer painting protocols to get the interior correct. I know the basics but does anyone have anything more detailed?
Another one to add to the ever growing list. Thanks. BTW anyone got a solution to all those tiny parts that vanish a few seconds after being cut from the sprue. Is there a product you spray on the sprue to stop that? 8)
chieftain who said he's 6'5 and he was comfortable in the Pz 3. He did admit that it was next to impossible for him to get in the fron t hatches though.
That was a great review of an impressive looking kit. Think you could include the cost point on these models in future reviews. Just a ROM, nothing specific to your shop, but give us an idea of the Biden bucks we need to extract from our stimulus checks. Ha, ha, ha. Keep up the great reviews
I recall ordering one of these 2 or 3 months ago, still haven't received it. I don't think I ordered it from you though, Andy; not really sure where I ordered it. I paid for it and the pay was taken from my account. If this kit is STILL in transit, fine. But if it was on that cargo ship that lost a bunch of containers, is there any way I can recover? Trusting you may be able to advise. Thanks.
Hey... i m a totally beginner and i keep hearing that tamiya is the BEST kits because of they a very detailed. Can you confirm this or is it just a build up over time roumor? Kind regards
Very nice kit. May I ask that you include cost information ( I know you said $15 for the detail set) for these kits as part of your presentations. Thanks for including the abbreviated page by page instruction manual material. P.S. That detail kit.........Wow, super-super icing for a totally deluxe cake?😳 P.P.S. Another request, could you include the kit number (like Flory &Genissis) in/as part of your kit presentation material? It is helpful when searching fir information/data to be able to use/reference an applicable kit number as part of the search parameters.,
The kit looks amazing, but also terrifying for someone of my skill level! I'm curious about the decals. It looks like 22 goes over 21 to make a certain symbol. Is this common?
With as much detail as this kit has in the interior I think I would not attach the lower and upper hulls together. That way one could see the entire interior.
Hi great model, I'm definitely going to get one of this for xmass :) One thing is unclear for me are ther the wire cutter and other equipment in camouflage colour not steel/silver? In every other model i've done they were in steel. PS Do you intend to put the build of this model on your channel?
Haven't built a model in ages my last came with swastika on the tails that gives an idea would love to try this BTW I have line drawings to attempt my dads ship from scratch HMS FROBISHER
Andy's hhq has to be one of the most informative and wholesome model channels there are on the internet!
He is absolutely one of the best. He kind a getting to the point of interest. Some of the others just talk talk talk never comming to the point except the point is more to talk about themselfs.. ;.)
nightshift also good
New drinking game for experienced alcoholics: drink every time Andy says "SLIDE MOLDED!" when reviewing a kit. :-D
Thash a..,. great... id-id-idea! (HIC!)
Just restarted building after my period in the 1970's and watching your videos inspire me alot but not going full interior yet :-)
I can hear the carpet monster. All those little parts.
Oh wow, looks like a "must have" kit. 👍👍👍😊
Nice review Andy, thank you for sharing!!
Oh yes workable tracks I love that definately on my wish list
I've been so good this month, not bought a single ki.......damn it Andy! 😳😲😉😆😂
You should definitely build this!
The close ups are great.
Me wants it 🤗🧡. Ryfield models are getting awesome with each new kit.
Great new kit 1/35 scale from RFM , Panzer III with full interior . Thank you for sharing this great video , my friend !👏👏👏👍🥇🏆
Pretty cool looking model and with a lot of accessories, though I would like if it contained the entire tank crew. That in my opinion would be pretty sick, especially for display purposes.
This is just incredible!
Thank you Andy, RFM and others is pushing the hobby which is great!!!!!
More , types, ideas , thank you again for all this Andy
You are a true positive force for the industry and hobby
Will you build and paint one of these beasts?
I recently ordered the Tiger I Tunisia RFM with and with out, i hope they corrected minor fit issues, the tracks were fairly easy to build, but lots of work!!!!
Great preview Andy !!!!
Cheers Buddy!!
One of my fav models I've ever done!
I shall add this to my RFM Panther G and Panzer IV ausf J. Both with full interior of course
Andy How many thumbs we needed for make this Model? :)
Just 10 thumbs and 40 other fingers
Great vid as usual Andy. Ordered this one also. Please build so I can build it right. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching/ buying.

I am building it as well, is a challenge. What's your opinion of the tracks?

Wonder if anyone is building a model of that container ship?
Normal or collapsed version? 😋
As in a fully built model
I have the miniart panzer iv ausf H with a full interior
Unbuilt willing to do the model for a price
Looks like a nice kit. I'm building the MiniArt Panzer IV with full interior... 41 plastic sprues and 2 PE. It's frazzling my brain at the moment,so i've had to start a simpler kit just to give my brain a rest.
Hi Andy, as always, another great product review. Please keep up the great work. Cheers mate.
I understand the latest YT algorithm is biased toward comments, so I am making a comment because I like this type of video. I have this kit, with the upgrade, but I am going to work on some other kits first to improve my weathering skills.
It Does Have Tons of Detailing Andy, thanks for Sharing n God Bless All.
Nice video and I love the fact that we can see every aspect of the kit, well done. AND I've ordered one, because of this review.
RFM have gone from incredibly detailed but some clean up required to still incredibly detailed and I think now also very cleanly moulded and well thought out attachment points.
That’s awesome. My first tank with full interior was the old Academy Tiger 1.
Great Review Andy-looking forward to seeing the build!
I dig the pointer, Professor! This build will be must-see content.
RyeField is kicking Dragon's butt! Very nice!!!
I just finished building the Tamiya StuG III B. It’s a fun vehicle to model, with a very interesting service life.
I have just started into full interiors and have become an interior snob!Same pin system as the RFM PZ4
RFM used Tacom to make the mold press. Massive connection points. Great detail, but I sure hope there will be a fuel line and wiring diagram for those of us who want to go a step further. An engine without a fuel line??? Thanks Andy and nice to see you get close to 200K subs and still be a regular guy :)
Your close up shots are greatly improved. Enjoyed this one for sure.
Hi Andy looks like a fantastic kit think I need to buy one.thank you for the review.cheers Gary from the UK 🇬🇧.

Always enjoy your videos, ty
Really nice. Love pz III so this will end up in my collection. Thanks Andy!
yes you are right an 1/16 Tank Engine would be an awesome model
Interesting point you make about a lack of room inside the Mk.3, as the Chieftain remarked that he found it quite comfortable and he is over 6' tall - !
It would be awesome to visit the store, being in the uk its a bit tricky ! But one day.
The kit looks awesome ! I get burnt out pretty easy if there's an interior involved.
Rye field really love full interior kits
Thanks Andy! Awesome content as expected!

Those individual workable tracks are garbage and break all the time it wouldn’t stop me buying a kit but would end up with fruil tracks
Build it! Build it! Build it!
WOW - i want :) Kia ora (hello and best wishes) from Aotearoa/New Zealand Andy . i really enjoy your clips. Many thanks :)
Looks pretty nice! Will get it after I’m done with my King Tiger!
Glad I stopped in and bought one!
Hi Andy, great review. If anyone wants to take an up close look at the instruction sheet, they can download it from Scalemates. See you next time.
Yes, I was going to comment the same.
Great review of a great little kit!👍
Looking forward to this one...
Can you elaborate on just what slide molding is? It is most likely self evident, but I have always wondered!
Thanks Andy for your continued high quality video.
What is slide moulding?
Also your comments on the interior. The German army soldier were a lot smaller than your typical American of ww2. Infact it was recorded by several German soldiers that they were surprised at the size of the Americans invading Europe.
Amazed at detail great video, more please.
When's the build coming out.
Another quality vid Andy thank you .
This is a kit to add to add to the shopping cart.
Have a look at the luchs (lynx) sdkfz 123 and you know whats cramped inside ;)
Love your videos Andy. Always so cheerful and upbeat. In times of lockdown your positive attitude is so greatly appreciated.
I look forward to your videos

The engine is for sale from RFM, It looks like it is a stand alone, plumbed engine. Ive seen it listed as a new arrival from a lesser hobby shop :>)
chieftain who said he's 6'5 and he was comfortable in the Pz 3. He did admit that it was next to impossible for him to get in the fron
t hatches though.
Are you planning on building those kits you reviewed
This is a fantastic kit Andy will need patience lots of small parts Steve 🇬🇧
That was a great review of an impressive looking kit. Think you could include the cost point on these models in future reviews. Just a ROM, nothing specific to your shop, but give us an idea of the Biden bucks we need to extract from our stimulus checks. Ha, ha, ha. Keep up the great reviews
Great model and nice review Andy :) and Yes you need to make this model :)
Looks like a good kit very detailed.. N ever heard of the company
Awesome video. I will have to order this kit. 👍
Build Andy build!
Thanks for the great review, another kit to add to my list 👍 😊
Pz III is my favorite tank
great review my friend keep them coming
I recall ordering one of these 2 or 3 months ago, still haven't received it. I don't think I ordered it from you though, Andy; not really sure where I ordered it. I paid for it and the pay was taken from my account.

THIS HAS BEEN A BUSY WEEK ,THANKS, .
Andy I hope you are going to build this one
Hey... i m a totally beginner and i keep hearing that tamiya is the BEST kits because of they a very detailed. Can you confirm this or is it just a build up over time roumor? Kind regards
I would love to be able to do this one
Great review Andy!

My Favourite chassis ... Some clear hull, turret, engine deck parts to display interior would have been nice to see ... but otherwise very nice :)
plastic kits only seem to be more and more impressive by every year. When and where can it end?
when the engine actual working and the gun can fire real bullets... :-)
The kit looks amazing, but also terrifying for someone of my skill level!
I'm curious about the decals. It looks like 22 goes over 21 to make a certain symbol. Is this common?
With as much detail as this kit has in the interior I think I would not attach the lower and upper hulls together. That way one could see the entire interior.
maybe kind of off topic. What kind of filming equipment are you using and microphone?
Great Video Andy i enjoy your videos
Hi great model, I'm definitely going to get one of this for xmass :) One thing is unclear for me are ther the wire cutter and other equipment in camouflage colour not steel/silver? In every other model i've done they were in steel.
PS Do you intend to put the build of this model on your channel?
Great preview and model but tooo complicated I have just built tamyia Pz III, its great model and very easy to build :-)
and a freeking nice kit
Delightful boxart. Not quite Tamiya quality but a most pleasant illustration.
love panzer in Africa, because I only have yellow pigment
Its grate! But I wait for the STUG!
Are RFM the new dragon?
Looks a great kit
Haven't built a model in ages my last came with swastika on the tails that gives an idea would love to try this BTW I have line drawings to attempt my dads ship from scratch HMS FROBISHER
When are you going to start building again?
How can one resist ?
Need to build that model
Awesome
Yes when are you going to build this sweet ass kit uncle broseph andy!
