VK36.01 | 1/35 Revosys / RFM | How to build and convert it to the Tiger Tank Prototype | Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- That's the first episode about how to build and convert the Revosys VK36.01 Tiger tank prototype into the one chassis that was finished, the VK Sport. This video is relevant for the Rye Field Models VK36.01 as well, since it is a rebox with less parts.
Literature:
DW to Tiger 1; Jentz & Doyle: All the basic Information about the VK36.01 and its Development. But not enough photographs for a full conversion.
Panzer Tracts 6: Does include a short description and drawings by Doyle as well as photographs of the rear and a motor swap.
Both books together give the full picture.
Conversion Kit: All parts are designed and 3D printed by myself. Depending on your interest and support, for witch I'm very thankful, the conversion files will be on Thingiverse free to download once the project is finished: www.thingivers... Printer and Settings I used: Anycubic Photon S Z-Layer hight 0.02mm Exposure benchmarked to the resin I have at hand.

This video is a bit shorter than you might be used to. Doing some Investments into better video quality in the background so some time had to be diverted away from this episode. They will get longer again as soon as my schedule is fixed back to weekly releases and the new gear is integrated into my workflow. Thank you very much for your continuous support even so there was no video last week.
I've been modeling for about 48 years. I've done commission work. I model 1/35 German armor specializing in North Africa. I just want to say that your videos are awesome! You have taught me new techniques both in building and painting. Your never too old to learn from a great modeler. I'm kinda new here and I am catching up on your videos. Thank you sir!!!
Thank you very much Scott, it's a hounor to give something back to much more experienced scale modelers like you are for sure. I'm just starting out learning the more advanced stuff and prgress is visible very fast with the help of all the great modelers here on YT giving good advice in thier videos... If I can be of help with showing this or that in better detail, happily at your service!
This will be a very cool series of videos to follow! Your work on the interior we saw today was quite impressive -- the driver's position has a lot of detail.
Thank you Evan! Tomorrow I'll get the lens I would have needed to film painting the instruments, so I kept it quite short. And since you have done a very helpful tutorial the other days, there was litte point in diving deep : ) Still keeping the fingers crossed for the track print that is running this very moment - if we can get workable tiger tracks out of a photon - I'll build all the tigers out there xD
Having come upon your channel at a later date, it is cool watching your older videos and seeing the progression of your skills and now I am seeing the introduction of the 3D printed parts!
Great job as always!
Thanks Ron. yeah there is some difference between the months : )
Very interesting video. Great to hear some history as you converted the model.
Ein sehr schönes Video zu dem Prototype-Umbau. Wunderbar detaillierte Teile die auch noch richtig genau passen! Was will man mehr.
Deine bisher gestaltete Innenausstattung sieht absolut gut aus. Alles in allem eine lohnenswerte Arbeit auf dem Weg zu einem tollen Modell mit Seltenheitswert.
Dein Prototype sieht bereits sehr gut aus, Kai. Grüße , Joachim
Vielen Dank Joachim. Deine Kommentare lese ich immer wieder gerne : ) Hoffentlich geht es so gut zuende mit dem Projekt wie es angefangen hat, bisher schauts noch gut aus xD
I just bought this kit, I don't have a 3D printer so I won't be adding the pieces you have, it will be an out of the box build with brass machine gun barrel.
One thing I will say is that at a glance the instructions supplied seem a little spare on information.
It doesn't look obvious what parts to use or leave out when you get to the turret.
You have a choice between mantles (if that's the correct way to say it) and barrels.
Also there are no written instructions at all, only in pictorials.
For someone like me who has little experience in modelling it looks a bit daunting.
I think I'll have to practice on some other kits first before I attempt this one.
Great vid thank you 👍
Well main problem with the turret ist, they were never completed - you are relativ free to choose the parts you like the most, chould have had the konical 7.5cm gun - they were produced in a small number i renember right ; )
Amazing job done so far, looking forward to see the next update. Thanks for sharing my friend, take care and keep up the great work.
Thanks mate : )
Stunning work on the interior. Looking forward to more of the same
Thank you Steve, more is on the way ; )
A very interesting project Kai you are one person who can really get their use out of a 3d printer thanks for making the video marra . Regards Gav.
A nice start to the build my friend I've just bought the Ryefield Pz.KPFW VI Ausf 1B Vk 36.01 will follow your build with interest. I like the way you approach your builds so will look forward to the next update
Thanks Greg. RFM did a good job sorting some of the fantasy options out from what I've seen so far. Let's see if I can fix the tracks, if it works out, I'll send some resin parts your way.
Thank you very much would you like me to do an un-boxing of the kit
I'd happly watch it, there is not an english one out there as far I renember. Do you have a book about the vehicle yourself or do you need some patching up?
I'll sort that out tomorrow for you also I got the new RFM T34/85 it looks a nice straight forward build. No i dont have the book but it sounds pretty interesting
I'll patch you up tomorrow during the day, I contact you via email. I'd love to see a very very early T34 one day, just like the one the Germans had when they were designing the Panther. RFM I only have the DAK Tiger, that one will be converted into the very first tiger with the vorpanzer.
another excellent video Kai I have enjoyed watching it great detail and painting
Thank you Paul, that one is finished by now - video will be up within the next weeks : )
Hi friend. It's nice and interesting video. I have this kit too. When I got it, I was very looking forward to the next kit if Revosys.
Of course, I'm looking forward to your next process. Thanks for uploading. Greetings, NOB
Thank you panzer-meister! I don't think we see another kit from them. They gave all they had in this one ; ) Glückauf! Kai
I bought the RFM one a couple of weeks ago so cool amd got the VK30.02DB this kit turned out so fricking nice so it did! The t34 panther thing! This was a great build from amusing hobbies too this Pz.Kpfw.38D mit Pz.IV Tum 8cm PAW 600!I'm just away up toy friends model shop to get the panzer 4 with the front slopped armour from AH now and waiting for RFMs panzer 4 with the panther turret to come my way next! How are you getting on with your tracks etc mate? I've noticed TREX have started doing them for takom now so that should be cool and waiting to get a set of the winterketten from RFM I managed to get them in the white metal but I'm no daft on metal tracks much eh, there's not really great Sharpe detail you get with some of the plastic one's so can't wait to try a set of 3D printed one's!
i’d love to see more of them german prototype tanks. The ones in use were covered million times on YT and the are getting boring/cliche. Anyway thats just my opinion. Nice work man !
Thanks Bartosz! I like to start every vehicle class with at its beginning, creating a comprehensive collection over time. 1/35 are lengthy projects so with a grain of salt for not being able to tell the future: We can't build only grey tanks here, so I'll do two things: close gaps left over by random builds in the past: I miss a early Grille to close this vehicle down for example. 2nd: alternate between late and early vehicle classes to get around into the other vehicles - Hetzers are on the menu again for some factory camo, as well as Jagdpanzer IV starting with the 0-series. While keeping tiger development as a constant topic throughout the future content. I hope this strategy satisfies most viewers
Wunder film
So how will you make a 1/35 model of Albert Speer as the driver?!? ;p
I love this tank. I have this Revosys kit sitting in the shelf. It's a shame there's no engine part...
When I have the time, I will make an Alt-History version of the VK 36.01, in which the Waffenamt cancelled the Durchbruch tank concept after the Battle of France, and went ahead with the Artilleriewagen concept of a Haubitze-turreted, infantry support panzer. It will look very similar to the VK 36.01 (H) Sturm from World of Tanks.
Here's a detailed article: www.tankarchives.ca/2018/06/vk-3601h-half-step-from-tiger.html
Next, let's see what you did with the tracks!
Oha.. No Speer around here... But I do have Prof. Dr. Porsche as resin figure having a rather unimpressed look on his face xD I did read about the AW it would have been a totaly different vehicle to what wot included in thier game. Nice project nevertheless but it needs more original drawings to show up. DW1&2 is something I lick my fingers for : ) I'll read that article for sure. Yeah, the tracks, still babysitting the printer atm xD
Where's part 2? I'd like to see the finished article please
Hi Allan, Part 2 is scheduled for the first January week. I still have Problems printing the new tracks
@@Tankbrusher no worries, looking forward to it.
What do you think of the kit overall?
I was looking for an interior kit then came across this one on ebay, I had it for a good price and my first impression is it looks a well detailed kit (although not totally accurate)
@@allanatwick1606 I think the kit is as good as it gets. They took a not so important vehicle and went over the top with this kit. Detailing, fit, overall balance of features is on point. It's one of my favorit kits and 70% of my stash is dragon and takom atm. How accurate it is, is not important since it is a ,,what if it would have been completet" kit, but when backdateing it to what actually was there as a project, as I do, it still is very complete and very close to what we can see on the photos. I guess it's the last kit we see by revosys and that's a real pitty imho.
@@Tankbrusher thank you very much
anybody know if tankbrusher is okay? no new videos in quite a while....
Jup fine, first a cold, than exam. I'll be back in a few days..
@@Tankbrusher great!! right on Bro!!
