Got mine built finally, was not easy. The suspension is mucho over engineered and takes an all hands on deck approach to get the roadwheels all lined up. Word of advice: The fenders some in something like 3 parts, and it's best to assemble them off the tank as a unit, and then onto the tank once you've done all you want to with the tracks. This is if you leave on the side skirts.
You should give yourself a reward for handling that nightmare suspension. Great content as always 👏
When i saw your video in my feed, I was surprised to see this kit.
Started this particular kit a couple of months ago. Not a pleasant build. Mainly because of the running gear suspension and main gun assembly.
You had a great idea of using wire instead of the tiny parts for the suspension. Had to do some modifying of the rear idler wheel assembly as well. Mine isn't finished as of yet. I put it in a plastic box and set it aside. It sucked the modeling mojo right out of me.
I will say it is a nice representation of an M24 Chaffee, but thats it. No joy in building..
Thank you for the honest review!😄
Looking superb! I do like the design of the M24, it's quite a tough looking light tank.
I stay clear of AFV kits pick up a SD.KFZ/232 early type at a model show cheap, just doing the 8 wheels, suspension and steering was a nightmare as for the instructions not much help ! but thanks for time and effort in making this kit
Currently making a 1/35 M24 chaffee myself from Bronco Models. Kit is a pain in the backside but fun, all I have to do is paint it and I am going for a Korean war, Operation ripper paintjob!
Would have been interested to see you apply the tracks as they always give me problems
When I got this kit I was very excited to build it. Needless to say it ended up in the trash bin. I really wish Tamiya would do an all new tooling of the Chafee or Takom.
I would like to build a Chaffee one day. Reminds me of watching "Battle of the Bulge" as a youngster!
Resplendent with tri-color NATO style camo! 😂 As kids we didn't care, if Battle of the Bulge was showing on TV we were going to see some TANKS!!
I would suggest the Tamiya kit. However, be forewarned: it is actually an Italeri kit boxed in collaboration with Tamiya. Have built it and is a good enough build.
Nice work, the old Italeri isn`t bad but this AFV kit is miles ahead.
After watching the build and you did a fine job. I.ll stick with the TAMIYA/ITALIRI and EDUARD detail set
Awesome watch
Thank you for the build. Luckily the Chaffee isn't on the top of my 'want tot build' list, but I eyed the AFV Club kit in case of a sale deal. Not so much now. Nice details, but I don't want to extend my swear dictionary.
Good build video. I really cannot stand AFV or Academy kits, though have built a few. Way too many teeny-tiny pieces, fit problems, 1-piece vinyl tracks are always just a teeny-tad too short, decals questionable, instructions leave you scratching your head more than actually placing parts correctly, and other "adventures". However, both companies do have some great subject matter to choose from. Probably the best Academy kit I have built was their M41 Walker Bulldog - not quite sure how I completed that kit without sending it across the room a few times!!
Have built the original Italeri kit eons ago and it was an OK kit - represents the M24 good enough and I avoided the urge to poke my own eyes out while building it. Also built the Tamiya/Italeri collaboration and had some unpleasant PTSD (if that is possible in modeling) to that original kit, but got it finished. Tamiya version was advertised as "new tooling" but, did not notice that at all. Plus, it has a metal barrel and a figure and better Tamiya instructions.
Well, one friend build bronko m24. And how i understand - no one made more pleasant build of that tank.
that looks like a mess.... good job on beating it into submission :)
M24 is a good looking tank. I've always considered building one in a French Indochina vignette, but it won't be this one.
same...italeri ones good tamiyas too,imo even revells better than afv one..front plate fitting at start looked terrible
Yeah. That suspension is ridiculous. No reason to be that complicated. Add in all the parts are tiny. I had an adventure getting this kit. I ordered the Korean war version, got it opened the box. Lower hull tub was missing. Emailed the company that sent ir, they sent out a full kid. Opened the box? Yep. No lower hull. Emailed the company and i think part of them was thinking im stealing kids. Lol Except when they opened another box, that too was missing the lower hull. Haha. So they sent out ANOTHER kit. Called AFV and they of course ignored it. The company ended up opening 12 chaffees boxes and 5 of them were missing hulls. Lol. In the end. I got the lower hull. I got so fed up with the suspension that I just glued everything into place. I'm doing a Korean war version. Something about olive drab tanks with brightly covered faces on the front. Good luck with yours.
Still a good build. When are you painting the Tiger 1?
Looked a bit of a mare mate
winter camo?
I am sad to say, that the music got med to stop this video. There is no need for generic music.
Turn the sound down ...
Never been a fan of AFV Club, some poor engineering and a lack of sharp details, looks very toyish...
