One suggestion I would give you if you wanted to make this kit next level is to include a set of stencils that could be used to paint on the markings. The markings are quite simple and it would dramatically improve the look of the model for the markings to be painted. I know that we could make our own, but if they were included, that would be awesome. Maybe on future Andy kits?????
Had to stop doing 1/35 Military modelling in early 2000 due to Presbyopia & shaking hands. This scale must be a Godsend to anyone suffering with this 'Modeller's Curse' in '24 Andy!...
I've been looking forward to this kit! Can't wait to get my hands on it. The add-ons are awesome between Jason figures and the resin accessories we can really bring this model to life! Can't wait to see them be available. Expect a call Andy!
Hi Andy, I have the kit on order from MBK and when Jason’s figures and stowage becomes available will buy those too. The kit is very good and the extra’s by Jason are exceptional. Can you maybe show us a step by step of the clearcoating and sanding and mattcoating as it does really help to get the decals to look much less like decals.
Great looking model once built Andy. Very much looking forward to the model being available in England. Will you be doing extra crew members in plastic for this vehicle and the previous M10 & Achilles tank destroyers?
It's a beauty Andy! The Jason figures are great poses as well. My only question, wouldn't it be easier to pre- paint the top of the suspension sub assembly before gluing? Seems hard to get into all the nooks and crannies
SICK??? For heavens sake use the word correctly and stop this ridicules trend of corrupting the english language by trying to look clever and with it!!!
@@user-wq9de7gj9d ok Richard Hellon somone got up on the rong side of bed im 15 with rely bad dislekyer i cant think of works like normal people i just wanted to spread some posativaty because i liked the model and you replyed to that with negativaty i have bean buled all my life for my inglish at that some random pirson spent time to critisise my yse of words hurts my felings
@@user-wq9de7gj9d I suspect that you are just another 'Russian bot' attempting to spread intolerance & anger in other nations. However, if you are not a 'Russian bot', then please read the following: FYI, "Slang" has been part of every language since the dawn of humanity. Every generation has created its own slang, 'old wives tales' (..now known as 'urban myths'..), cultural icons/metaphors, and mythological characters. In fact, there is a good chance that you use a lot of terms which were once slang terms & cultural metaphors, but have become accepted parts of the English language over the decades or centuries (perhaps to the point of being a word in the most widely accepted dictionaries). For example, a lot of phrases from Shakespeare's plays have become common & accepted parts of the English language, such as "in one fell swoop" from "MacBeth".
Andy, I see on your AFV webpage way down the bottom there are kits marked as sold out. Will your Andy's kits ever be sold out, and no longer available??? Usually after many years kits become unavailable for one reason or another. Myself, and other's may not have the funds to buy every 1/16th kit we want in a short span of time.
All kits are produced in one or few waves, once all waves are sold out its over, kit is gone. Fortunately for you creating injection moulds is expensive so factories want to milk them as much as possible. Eventually they will re-relese the kit, release different version of it, or sell the moulds to other company that will re-relase the kit under different logo.
I think that the 'toy' appearance is due to (a) the design of the vehicle, and (b) the perfect painting lines, and (c) the lack of battle damage & weathering.🤔Once the battle damage, weathering, figures & diorama base have been completed, it will no longer look like a toy.🙂
@yay795 np ,if your going get a compressor ,I'd get 1 with a little tank,like 1 or 2 liters and a small water trap I,I have 1 at compressor around 15 bucks and 1 came in an iwata airbrush I bought,it at the airbrush, makes it easy for my sausage fingers ,hand to hold lol
I wonder how many of your subscribers See one of your videos; and hit the like button before they see the video, One vote fr me
I am glad that you returned to building model kits.

… you are doing the BEST kits in 1/16…!!! 👍😃👋
If I had the room and the budget I would build every one of the 1/16 armor kits. They look awesome!
Bought this kit yesterday.Going together very well.
Awesome Andy! ... Injected styrene wheels & tires look amazing ... no vinyl so I'm in
Great job Andy, Love your build videos and the great kits you release.
Great job Andy
Awesome job my friend keep up the good work 👍👍
I just received notice of my M8 shipping out!
Had to stop doing 1/35 Military modelling in early 2000 due to Presbyopia & shaking hands.
This scale must be a Godsend to anyone suffering with this 'Modeller's Curse' in '24 Andy!...
15:16, Nicely detailed drivetrain & suspension and it fits together quite well in the order you've shown us.
Nice work Andy!👍👍👍👍
Waiting for someone to do an R/C conversion of this kit. 😊
Looks great!
cool. thanks for posting
I'm very excited to get this kit

love it cant wait to get mine
Great stuff!!!!
Hi Andy
Beautiful kit!
Nice looking work mate, certainly a far cry from Tamiya’s 1/35 model.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊
Especially when one has the original motorised 1960s version with rubber band drive!
Man that's great!

Again nice and well made video. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is looking very awesome and the add ons will definitely make it One Beautiful Model
Yes it will, Thanks for watching.
Really cool model.
Omg. Gotta pre order this
Great kit and great achievement for you, would love to see someone like Night Shift or Plasmo or similar make one of these.
I loved your Korean War Sherman kit so I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these
Looks like a awesome kit not a big fan of the grayhound but still I think I'm going to get one
Also how about a short video with Jason showing off his artwork? Nice stuff!
日本からです。
私もアンディさんのお店に行ってみたいです。

Sure would like to see you do a car build video
I REALLY REALLY MISS YOUR BUILD VIDEO'S. YOU USED TO DO AT LEAST ONE A WEEK .
Looks nice. thx for sharing
So it can rolls freely move the steering
Please make a 1/16 scale panther or tiger 2 👍
That's a chonky Boi.
In terms of weathering. Shouldn't you weather the interior before the hull is attached?
How about winter chains for the tires
It would have been nice to have an engine to build up for that model but it is nice still.
What glue works best with painted parts? I had no luck with CA adhesive.
this just looks sick nice work

How do you cement the pre-painted parts? From my experience gluing to paint never ends well.
Did you us CA glue on the painted parts?
what kind of material did you use for the wiring?
I wonder if this kit could be converted to RC???
I don’t see the kit on website.
What size wire was used ?
could this be made RC ? using say WPL driveshafts
Where is the link to pre order

Are these going to ship soon? Mine has been on order for months.
Yes the containers have arrived in Long Beach and will be to us in just a few days.
The instructions need revising. The dampers are handed, but this is not shown on the instructions.
Sadly this kit doesn't do it for me . Looks like a toy for some reason. Liked the other 1,16 scale kits tho.

OMG... I love the music as you assemble. Andy what airbrush are you using and or can you recommend a good air b rush?Thank so much! Frank
I use the Iwata HPCS an excellent airbrush.
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Thank you so much! 🙂
Got same airbrush as Andy its fantastic, you cant go wrong with iwata@yay795
@@-donkey_696_ I appreciate your input and help. I am retiring to the hobby after many years so I am new to the airbrush and its use. Thank you again.
