Great to see the Octopus jig in action - the best tool I ever bought!!

Indeed! :)

[@tpaul802]

I really like how the anti-slip texture came out. Thanks for sharing

[@coldemonspl]

no problem! :)

[@fulanunan]

Dude, just found this channel of yours. Very informative and fun to watch. I think that zajebiste is the right polish word 😉. Keep up the good work.

[@coldemonspl]

Yeah, zajebiste is correct Polish word! Thx a lot for this!!! :)

[@danakrause5031]

Respekt for this absolutely perfectly model!!!

[@coldemonspl]

Thx a lot mate! :)

[@levynir]

Thank you for the video and explanation. Your work is wonderful. Just FYI the 1ב you hand-painted means 1B, which indicates this is the second tank in the first team of this tank platoon.

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you very much buddy! :)

[@coldemonspl]

[@701duran]

great work I really liked the stencil to paint the numbers on the tank I will try that on my own kits

[@coldemonspl]

Good luck with them! :)

[@TonyKelly-p7x]

Is there a specific reason why you primed this Merkava in a grey primer instead of a black primer?

[@coldemonspl]

No, just had it. No specific reason at all! :)

[@TonyKelly-p7x]

Thank you for responding. So, I will share with you what happened to me. I applied the anti-slip using AK-Interactive product. I had no problem with this. I applied Mr. Hobby 1500 Surfacer Black primer to my Merkava Mk.2D. When I applied the base color (Vallejo Air Sinai Grey 82) the area where the anti-slip was applied, the dark (black) color from the primer showed through. It was very pronounced. I have applied two thinned down base color over the areas which did help. I normally prime all my models in black with no problem. However, I am convinced that I will have to use a grey primer going forward when using anti-slip. Lesson definitely learned. Just thought I'd pass this along. Also, I enjoy all your builds and tutorial videos. You certainly do excellent work.

[@coldemonspl]

@@TonyKelly-p7x Tony, thx for your comment. I didnt think about it and maybe it was a hand of God that I used grey primer? :) I dont know:) But I built VBCI with very rough texture and sprayed it with black primer and had no problems. I dont know. Sometimes strange things happen in modelling rooms :):):) Join to my Patreon! :)

[@johntreloar8203]

I like it, looks great.

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you John! :)

[@Mizone505]

Gday
I hope you will see this. How do you attach,detach your nut and bolt handle ? I love the idea and want to try on my next build. I reaam enjoying your channel and videos, so easy to follow so please keep up the great work
Cheers
Dave in Australia 😊

[@coldemonspl]

Well, I dont remove the nut from the model's interior. It stays there forever :)

[@ukaszskorwider9197]

Elegancka ta merkava👏z ciekawości, jakiego aerografu używasz najczęściej?

[@coldemonspl]

Dzięki. Od jakiegoś roku maluje aerografem z AK. A wcześniej chińczykami z allegro :)

[@tomaszjaniszewski7445]

Świetna praca. Inspirujące.

[@coldemonspl]

Dzięki frend! Zainspirować profesjonalistę to coś! :)

[@jackwills7092]

What paint brushes do you use the make and price

[@coldemonspl]

Mainly AK Interactive and Kozlowsky syntetic brushes for couple Euros :)

[@blacklupos]

Excellent work on this beast. Are you planing any figures too?

[@coldemonspl]

Thx. No. No figures on/in the tank but 1 or 2 outside, on the base.

[@danmeehan1390]

I really like this build. In my opinion the anti slip is awesome. I love your work but I am confused as to the overall colour of the vehicle. maybe I missed something as you used references. Great work

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you Dan. The collor is correct, after weathering it will be a bit darker. :)

[@hkpango1996]

what brush you used to draw the markings？

[@coldemonspl]

Here I used AK ones.

[@noelmorris5807]

i like your videos

[@coldemonspl]

thx mate!

[@ayli9]

Surprised to learn that Hataka is Polish. The word itself sounds Japanese to me:)

[@coldemonspl]

Yep. but it's Polish :)

[@fulanunan]

Hataka is also a Finnish surname, belive it or not.

[@Misitheus]

The only reason I build scale models is to inhale the fumes....The smell of X-20 in the morning reminds me of........

[@coldemonspl]

yeah, I know that feeling :)
