This is the complete build of the Dragon models 1/35 Vollkettenaufklarer 38, a Hetzer based vehicle with a short 75 mm gun.
It was great meeting you and seeing your shop on Tuesday. Cool seeing this model in progress and all the other models in your case that you had done videos on! If y'all viewers are in Phoenix, do yourself a favor and head over to Andy's shop. Tons of Tamiya and my favorite, Dragon kits. Truly an armor modeler's paradise.
Outstanding video and presentation.
That's a nice job of painting & weathering on the Dragon Hertzer. A good tutorial, too. Thanks Andy.
Fantastic kit choice to Show a build. Nice paintjob and weathering. I like it very much. Following along.
Really nice weathering on this one. Thumbs up!
I definitely laughed my head off , wish I could send you a spoken message 😂😂😂
But a great build as usual 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Greetings from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
excellent build and great weathering effects. You can't go wrong with this channel
A new Andy video! not gonna lie definitely a fav series on UA-cam.
Another great job Andy! Really enjoyed watching this build. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.
Thanks from down under👍🇳🇿
Thank you too
and again,
a very useful and lovely Video.
i love the way you making the streaks on the tank, i use the same way.
sometimes, not allways.
so i say "thank you" for your great Video buddy.
regards from Germany
Robert
Excellent video as usual. I will have that recipe for the tracks, thanks, although I am trying to work out how to get the extra 5% flat red into the bottle 😊
I've been waiting for so long to see you heavily weather a tank. It looks brilliant Andy, I hope you do more like this.
You give me so much inspiration! You really outdid yourself with the weathering this time, freaking love it. And ofcourse, who doesnt love a little Hetzer
Another great video Andy, looking forward to more from You.
This was another great build
looked like it was a bit of a basket case of parts from different kits but once again it was a great build
That thing is something I've never seen before.
Great video Andy, Many thanks for sharing it with us,
Joe
0:10 "Wolkenkettnaufklaurer" ;-D
Anyway, really great job !
Good job for modeling Hetzer.
Voll-ketten-auf-klärer (pronounced: foll catten auf clairer), litterally translates to "full-tracked reconaissance (vehicle)"
why not a ber- hetzer coz most people and companies don't specify what it is
Thanks for that Haramasch. It explaines why the tracked motorcycle is a Kettenkraftrad. The Luftwaffe had units called Aufklarungsgruppen, or Reconnaissance groups (or squadrons). The vehicle is based on the Czech 38t chassis without which the Nasties would have been far less well equipped. Chamberlain, you idiot !
Haramasch Oh thanks for that. I know that pzkpfw is armored battle vehicle but i wondered what this mean. Can you please tell me what is Sonderkraftfahrzeug?
Sonderkraftfahrzeug was established in the early years of arms production in the Third Reich to evade the Versailles Treaty. It is a code name and means "Special (purpose) motor vehicle".
Sonder = special, Kraft = strong, fahr = to ride, zeug in this case means vehicle just as flugzeug means a flying vehicle or aeroplane. A Special Purpose Armoured Vehicle would be my translation, though there may be a more specific one out there.
That is a sick tank
I was so hoping you would do this one soon. Loved each moment of the build!
Wow! Looks great. Nice work Andy!
That is an amazing looking model, great inside and a great weathering effect you've done, love the little scratches and rust areas, i hope to replicate the same effect on my little Pz 38t Ausf E/F i'm doing at the moment, just a tip as well, i have two dogs and i use a whisker from either of them tied to the end of a broken paintbrush to do things like very, very fine scratches on the model, works very, just don't got cutting all their whiskers of, you only need one haha.
Superbe ! Comme d'habitude. Merci Andy .
Pascal from France
i think (to give it a more dirty effect) that you should give a shot to the oil wash, it could look great on your models :) great video btw, as always !
Track colour:
75% Nato Brown
25% Nato Black
5% Flat Red
Good thing you modelling skills are better than your math - lol! Nice build - your videos have a good balance of construction, detailing, painting and weathering. Keep up the good work.
Great work and excellent tutorial.
I want this thing in War Thunder
Barry Allen would be easy enough
Shaw Rosowitsch exactly
Barry Allen although it would probably be low Tier because of the short 75
Shaw Rosowitsch probably tier 3
Bunny Hop837 it would sit gold at a BR of3.3-3.7
Very nice work mate. i may have to add one to my stash.
Wayne! Nice to see you here mate!
Hey mate....i like this blokes work. He has some very nice builds. And i am a bit of an addict for model vids....lol
Looks good
Damn by just watching how You do those models I want myself something in 1/35.. right after I finish Rodney and Hood in 1/700 :)
another great build Andy 👍
Would love to see you do a quick video on filling gaps with Vallejo putty.
Whistle Music I think he showed how to in his academy m3 Lee video.
Thanks
how long does it take for the glue to dry? I mean, I use the glue from Revell and it takes basically a few hours so I just glue a few pieces and leave them till the next day which is really time consuming.
Neat stuff. Good job, Andy.
Always informative.
Great video (as always) Andy
Andy, next time please show us your technique tor how you rolled out the photo etch muffler guide. Looks like you achieved the perfect shape and fit on this one. Thanks.
I will for that one i just used a round piece of sprue
Great as always Andy.
Молодец мужик =) , высший пилотаж =)
Hey Andy! Great model kit!!! I have a new build suggestion for you. I just finished building the Tamyia 1/35 Marder 3 Model M. and it was just awesome. Great kit, you should check it out! Great build again!!!-John
Nice work again.
andy, is that a "paper panzer"? thats not in the encyclopedia of german tanks or the squadren 38t books?
Would love for you to give an approximate price Andy and maybe a few more lines about the history of the vehicle. Nearing that 50K subscriber mark Sir!!!! Thank you.
Price is going to be relative. As a store owner, he's going to give you the suggested retail, but there will be online vendors that will charge more or less.
That said, the standard price for Dragon these days is roughly $65-$75 U.S., but I haven't paid much beyond half that for a couple of years.
could you build the tamiya Wespe next?
That kit is flawed and someone needs to come out with a modern tooling. The kit is actually missing a lot of the gun compartment detail even though Tamiya put alignment marks on the sidewalls for that missing detail. WTF?!
yeah i noticed that when i built it and i was going to find some aftermarket to fix it but i could not find any.
Actually, both Eduard and Royal Model make PE and resin sets that address some of the issues but I don't know what is still missing. They are a bit pricy, as well. The Royal set runs about $55 bucks! I myself just cobbled some parts together to fake an approximation of the interior. Still would like a new one though. There are enough people making Pz II kits that someone other than Tamiya or those Eastern European companies like Alan or Maquette, as those aren't much better.
im probably now gonna redo the kit and scratch build the interior.
@@mladtheimpaler The newer Dragon kit is pretty nice, if you catch it on sale it's not expensive either.
Thanks for posting the build, Andy. I was really impressed by the rust weathering on those sideskirts. You have a lot more skill than most of us, though there will always be some to be your critics. I haven't seen all of you videos- just started watching a few months ago. Could you please explain/elaborate on why you always spray the white panel highlight after your Nato Black base coat?
vrey good!!!!
Do you know much about the history of this tank? Not familiar with it. How many produced? Thnx
Nice kit, but I have one note. You said that on this open vehicle you spray whole interior in camo colour. I think that in camo colour should be only upper part of the interior, bottom part should be in same colour as bottom part in Hetzer, red interior colour, engine and transmission parts in dark grey.
Kurt Konrad interior was basically white or non painted in german tanks
shouldn't there be a bolt cap on the drive sprocket great build and paint job that we come to expect
Where the decals an after thought? You normally put them on before
Ive never built or painted a model before. Do you have any tips or recomendations of a nice starter build and equipments?
Tamiya's Panther Dis simple and looks great when done.
Yes, as a kit just do something from Tamiya :) get some nice metal files (or sanding sticks but files are more crisp - watch Hamilkar Barkas' great video if you want to see) a hobby knife, some glue (Tamiya Extra Thin is great for most people) and some sprue cutters. Good fine wire cutters work if you can't get proper sprue cutters. Painting and weathering is a while other thing though... I can go into more detail for you there if you'd like.
Panzermeister36 Thanks for the tips, id love to hear more about painting and weathering as well if that isnt too much trouble for you.
Well I'm an airbrushing kind of guy, but you can always get away with spray cans for most tanks as they were often green, grey, and a dark yellow ochre. Tamiya spray cans are great. If you've gotta do camouflage you can always mask with tape and then do some more spray cans or you can paint by hand with a brush. But an airbrush sure helps as you can see here. Now as for weathering that can get expensive and tricky and very time consuming with lots of products involved, some of which aren't really necessary. To start, some oil paints work well for pinwashes and streaking and stuff, or you can use enamel products from Tamiya, AK Interactive, Mig, Wilder, and so on. Those would be things like the panel liner and streaking grimes and premade washes. I lean more towards oils for this stuff now. For mud you can use pigments which I really like, but dirt and stuff like that can work well too. There's plenty of great UA-cam videos about these kinds of things out there, and what I'm saying here is just general stuff without much detail or background. If you have any questions feel free to ask again, the modelling community on UA-cam is pretty great!
Enjoyed the build but I'm not sure the short bursts of music do anything for the video.
Andy do you carry any dragon kits in your store I have noticed that there as a model company by the name of cam or Cam and I want to pick up that polish tank the riveted one if you know what I'm talking about but I'd also like to either pick up a dragon interior 38t or get the ryfield interior tiger and panther set but I want to know do you recommend the interior sets and or if you carry the dragon kits
Hi andy can you tell what clear paint you use on your model?
Think you could do a build of the Takom Leopard C2 MEXAS? Keep up the great work! You got me back into building models!
What do you use to glue it together after it's painted.
The cement wont glue on paint.
I'm curious as to if theres a way to add marks on a tank where they've been shot by MG or even cannon fire that didnt penetrate, so it looks like its seen actual battle
The Dutchinator
I would say just experiment with different techniques and find something
Andy, I'm surprised you made a light mix of Dunkelgelb to simulate late war paint, but didn't use the red primer base which was in effect when this vehicle was prototyped.
Shell Bush the red primer is standard on german tanks
Awesome build as always. I see you go black shadow > white highlight > base color most of the time, but I've also seen you do black shadow > base color directly. Is there a particular reason behind it?
Does he have a website you can order off of? Because i really want a panther or hetzer kit.
Great paint and weathering job. Question: do you ship kits, paint etc. to Canada ?
You were closer than you think on the pronounciation Andy, only thing you got wrong was you added an N.
You said it like volkenketten, but it's just volkketten. Amazing build as always though.
That's "V-O-L-L-ketten, not V-O-L-K. Only one K to work through.
Vollketten: Voll + Ketten = Fully Tracked
Someone else might have already translated it, but vollkettenaufklärer roughly translates to "entirely tracked scout-/reconvehicle"
voll = entirely
ketten = tracks
aufklärer = scout
Another great video, always learning new tricks and tips. What superglue did you use?
its called voll - ketten - aufklärer 38 and translated it means fulltrack (spotter/scout)
Did the vollkettenaufklarer 38 go into production, or was it a "what if" panzer?
Lyle Christensen one vehicle was built. More of the anti aircraft versions were built than any of the other Hetzer variants.
You're thinking of the Flakpanzer 38(t) auf Selbstfahrlafette 38(t) Ausf M - which was a variant of the Pz.Kpfw 38(t), not the Jagdpanzer 38(t). The Jgpz 38(t) was a NEW design based on components of the Pz.Kpfw 38(t). The chassis is wider than that of the original Czech design.
The Bergepanzer variant was the ONLY one built in sufficient numbers (106, plus 64 conversions from existing Hetzers). Other than the command version, and handful of conversions to Flammpanzers, and the few carrying the 15cm sIG 33/2, everything else never made it past paper or prototype stage.
The vehicle depicted in this kit never made it past a pair of prototypes built by BMM, but they were both open-top vehicles meant as personnel carriers and were only armed with MGs and was designated as the Vollkettenaufklärer 38(t) Katschen. I think what they meant to portray was the Jagdpanzer 38(d) with the 7.5cm PaK 39 L/48 which was to replace the Hetzer, but the war ended before production was scheduled to start.
Shell Bush there was a hetzer with a 2cm cannon on.
is'nt that the 105mm hetzer?
in your opinion what's the best model company for beginner? i mean by that the one that have easy instruction and Nothing to complecated
Tamiya. Tamiya is pretty much the one everybody starts with.
Although I started with Bandai in the 70's.
I would recommend Tamiya, simple to work on, goes together quite well, and the instructions are clear
Can u do the Trumpeter 1/35 Scale British Challenger 2 Enhanced Armour (01522)w/Eduard 36126
And what airbrush do you and what compressor pressure u set as I'm looking to improve my modeling skills based on what I see you do with yours thanks
He has a frequently asked questions video where he lists his airbrush and psi. IIRC it is an iwata and he runs it at 22 psi.
wow it's a German Frankenstein tank thing! ha ha 😄
Is it possible to do black and white technique with a brush?
X_BriX & ZoneXPL Play Games the overall paint job would end up being too thick and detail would be lost. Treat yourself to a budget airbrush.
I know this probably wont get answered but is that a 1/18th BBI F6F hellcat hanging?
yes it is
Hey Andy can you please do the Karl Gerät 040/041? :D Would love to see it! :D
your vids do not disappoint. XD
Am I right that next one is Hetzer based 15 cm S.i.G 33?
Hey Andy... Let me Tell you the V in German is spelled like the F in the english word Forest.. i Think thats very Easy.. Great Channel Good Work.. go on ... Bye from Germany
Timo Kembügler uhm no...
Can you do a Meng GAZ STS Tiger build? I really want one of those in my collection.
Your German is better than you think. ;)
would really love it if you talked about the model instead of playing music. talk about its history, its development and how, when, and where it was used. it would make the videos a lot more enjoyable.
exactinmidget92 The music is a filler between a full and understandable build guide.
That would be a lot to do while trying to concentrate on a build. To save you the trouble of using a search engine, here:
forum.axishistory.com//viewtopic.php?t=196172
www.achtungpanzer.com/jagdpanzer-38t-hetzer.htm
And there's this:
"The Vollkettenaufklaerer 38 was originally an effort by Auto-Union to create a tracked reconnaissance vehicle suitable for Eastern Front operations. Auto-Union’s prototypes with an open-topped compartment appeared in early 1944, but they were never pursued. Czech company BMM followed up with its own version of a scout vehicle based on a Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer chassis, with a mockup ready by September 1944. This example based on a modified 38(t) chassis featured a 7.5cm L/24 gun and was the only one built. Also known as the Gerat 564 Pz.Aufklwg.638/12. Most of these prototypes carried either a single or twin 20mm Flak 38."
I like the music, makes it more relaxing
Andy's got a hobby shop to run and a home life too. One of the enjoyable parts of a scale model build is doing your own research about the subject matter to see what to build and how to build it.
exactinmidget92 he's not jingles
yes you did (smile)
Brief rundown of German pronunciation. V = F, W = V, O with two dots over it is the "u" in "fur'" excluding the "r". Too many people in videos pronounce Goebbels as Gur-bulls., It's more Guh-bulls. The two dots (an umlaut) stand in for the e following the o. This occurs with a number of vowels in German, "a" "o" and "u" . With "a" it flattens the sound making it sound like "ai" in English as in "Claire", with the "o" it sounds like "u" in "fur" with u it sounds like a very strange "ooo'" with the lips forming an "ooo" but the inside of the mouth trying to pronounce "ee". EU on the other hand is pronounced "oy". The German word for Devil is Teufel, pronounced Toy-fel. A lot of German names are composite words. A 19th Century composer was named "Waldteufel", which literally means "wood devil"
Oh, and it's Folks-vawgen, not Volks-wagon.
ah the mother-in-law music or is that the imperial march
Ride of the Valkyres?
Please make 152mm ShkH DANA vz.77
why a short gun on tank in front
are there any new starwars kits?
could you build more diorama
dioramas*
You spell it right because I am a German
Thank you , what does it actually translate into
Hi.
Vollkettenaufklärer means "fully tracked recon/scout"
voll = fullKette = Chain / Tracks
Ketten = Chains / TracksAufklärer = recon or scout
The fully tracked Reconvehicle 38 (38 tells you it's based on the Jagdpanzer 38 (t) "Hetzer")
And Jagdpanzer = "Hunting-Tank" = tank destroyer
A tank for hunting other tanks.
jagen = (to) hunt
Panzer = tank
And your pronunciation was very good, but not perfekt. :) You have pronounce
"Vollketten" like "Wolken-ketten" The german V is in this case like the f by the word forest and you speak it Voll-Ketten because this are actually two words. ("Wolken" is the German word for clouds by the way. :D)
The -ketten was perfectly fine.
Aufklarer was perfectly fine pronounced as well. But the German language is mean and it's has to be Aufklärer with the ä and suddenly it have to be pronounced another way.
"klarer" is actuly a german word and you got it on point. It comes from "klar"
klar = clear
klarer = clearer
So an "Aufklärer" is somebody or something who make things clearer and the Germans like the Ä so they put in there to screw with everybody who don't know the Ä. xD
But I have actually no good Idea how to explain the correct pronunciation of Ä just in written words ... it like a mix of A and E.
(You can acutly type ae for ä if you don't have it on your keyboard. People from Germany did this too, if they don't have an Ä on the keyboard. This Works for ö = oe ,and ü = ue as well.)
But there are cleary some videos on YT where Ä Ö Ü will be explained with the right pronunciation.
And realy nice work on the models which you make. Astonishing paintworks. (And sorry if my english is not the best.)
Greetings form Germany. :)
I have to Say im Very disappointed that you did not paint the interior half the gun was still black, When i do an open top i let the top off paint that then block off the open part then seal it up before painting it
Good point, but I think in terms of the way he does his videos that might complicate things or take more time - which might mean fewer videos.
could have still painted the gun properly
5:58 rouku tv remote?
I don't know if you noticed it but you didn't pronounce Vollkettenaufklärer 38 right.
I hope I could help.
So close second to view
this must be a cheap to produce kit and probably is a money maker. but hey if the model is gone look good who gifs 😉
Andy, could you give an Email again so I could send you the banner? Something went wrong with the first one you gave me.
hey Andy i just started modelling and i was wondering what you think of a company called "Revell" because they seem to be everywhere here were i live (germany).
greetings :)
Shaw Rosowitsch well Revell is good for starting off as they are easy to build and don't cost as much, but when you think you're better try do drift away from that because there are much better models out there
Probably because Revell GmbH was founded in Bünde, West Germany, in 1956?
Revell has a good reputation, although like many companies they have hits and misses. They focus a lot on car kits, especially 1/18 and 1/24 scale. While not as detailed as Dragon and newcomers like Takom and Meng, they generally release decent kits at a reasonable (at least in the U.S.) price. They also rebox older kits with new parts like Tamiya does. I am just about to finish their Panzerspähwagen P204(f) kit, which is actually an ICM kit from last year. Went together quite nicely.
But depending on your interests, Revell is sometimes your only option.
Shell Bush well tanks and (war)planes mostly, armored vehicles are a kinda 3rd but not so big interest
Andy, could you give an Email again so I could send you the banner? Something went wrong with the first one you gave me.
