    Thanks for uploading the review Michael! I'm aware of the issues you mentioned in the instructions and I'm working on a fix. I'll be uploading the v2.2 instructions soon which will also improve a couple of parts on the tank, mainly related to color variations, exterior details and making the periscope hatch sturdier. Don't worry, you won't have to take the whole tank apart this time, but these 2-3 tiny details will make it even better (this will be the final version, I promise 😂, I just want a clean design to be as accurate as possible to the real tank and I'm very very close) I hope you give this one a try, stay tuned for news!

      Hi @1995tms, I am waiting for version 2.2. Then I will gladly buy your instructions. Can you please tell me when approximately it will be released? Please consider also exchanging very expensive parts with different color - as for example "Technic, Gear 24 Tooth with 1 Axle Hole". Thanks

      @@jirihracek I hope to release them in the middle of august. Regarding the technic part, you can buy it in whatever color you want (dark bluish gray is the cheapest) i put light bluish gray because it looks better in my opinion, but feel free to choose your color!

      Now we gotta see a Lego set of the Kali human sacrifice chamber from Temple of Doom, complete with a hole in the floor and a guy strapped to that metal thing and mini figure of Mola Ram with a heart on fire in his hand. Might be a tad gruesome and macabre for a family-friendly company like Lego. 🤔

    Excellent video as always Michael. I am 53 years old. It is so amazing how LEGOs have evolved over time. When I was 8yo, a year after I saw STAR WARS, I tried to make an X-Wing out of LEGOs, and as you can imagine, it looked pretty pathetic and because LEGO pieces only attached in one direction at the time, the sad excuse for the lower s-foils fell off way too easily.😄 Keep up the Awesome Work! GOD Bless You, Melinda and all of the guys!

    Also, my kiddo wants to do this tank build, and I told him he'll need to get a job. I deal mainly with castle sets, and he already maxed out our tan and sand color pieces with Indy set ups.

    On one hand I can understand why Lego opted not to make this tank as it would go against their anti-military rule, but then again, the Flying Wing and the vehicles from Crystal Skull say otherwise. Even in this 2023 wave I would've liked to see that tank over a redo of the plane. Maybe as a D2C set?

    My husband still has the hat his father brought him from the BX on Hickam AFB. I kind of look at my husband as an Indiana Jones type gentleman. 10 years in the South African Defense force always adventures in the Jemez springs in northern New Mexico with me and our children and working in African and Asian History at the university for a short while before he formed a private security company. I guess it can be said my husband was influenced by both his father also ex-military and Indiana Jones. My husband also speaks Japanese fluently Swazi,Dutck Afrikaan and German. Everytime you all do Gi joe,Action Force and Indiana Jones toys and retrospectives my husband’s eyes light up and a nostalgic grin opens on his face.

    I don’t know if you know this but bricklink isn’t the only platform to use. lego also sells they’re own pieces on their page, it’s called “pick a brick” it can bit more expensive that bricklink but they have a bigger variety of pieces and if your order is over 35 dollars shipping is free. So maybe in future you can use that, as someone who bricklinks a lot, I’m starting to use pick a brick as often as I can for harder to find bricks
