Thank you for the great review.
😄
You are most welcome Andy. ☺️
Iam blessed to be able to drive to his store in phoeinx any day, I have PTSD and was very near the end very depressed and saw his youtube chaanel i used to build models from childhood then stopped in the 2000's geting deeper in depresion I was a tanker in the Army and his tank building videos took my mind off troubles. I desided to buy a model i was on disablity so i could not buy what i wanted to get but i did find nice priced tymiya T-55 and as i built it the memoryies of past kits flowed throught my mind i built a diarama for my life long Army co- taknker a PZ 4 his faverite tank i then foulnd amother old Army buddy and so long story short i criedit Andy for saving my life i was close to giving up its a Hobby that heals my soul and i can excape into the kit iam building and feel better at what i have created when he says "lets get started " i saw along with him "lets get started living life again " i know its kinda dumb but he is such a kind human
Look forward to your full recovery. Always enjoy you! Cheers from Montana, USA
Andy is my 1st mentor into the world of modeling I buy 80 percent of my models and supplies from him I know him well he is great guy a huge help in elevating my modeling skills
Hi Jeff, don't mean to pry but you are in the US or Arizona even to get your supplies from Andy? By delivery I guess?
I know he sends around the world, and can likely get anything here, but my local postal service has a habit of destroying anything - I think it's their slogan to be honest... regardless of how it is packaged.
But yeah, I would love to go to his store and just roll around on the floor like a cat in ecstasy.
@@andrewstamford1988 yes I am 2 hours from his store but he does ship all over the USA and Canada from his phoenix Arizona warehouse
@@jeffbrumbaugh9187 You lucky duck. I would wander his store for hours regularly.
As mentioned, the postal system, which is how my local stores deliver, play football with everything and it may seem petty, but part of the joy of this hobby is the box art and when it's unnecessarily ruined, especially on an expensive item, it's certainly frustrating to say the least.
Anything I can get here, I will make an effort and drive across the city, but there might need to be an overseas purchase at some point.
Once again, you lucky son of a gun! 🤩
@@andrewstamford1988 his store is the main reason I am in this hobby plus he is there most of the time for advice when I buy expensive model kits I pick them up at the store I don’t trust the shipping companies in fear of box damage
@@jeffbrumbaugh9187 Yep, I did that once at the start of the pandemic because we were in lock down and kits were flying off the shelves, so I took the chance.
Unfortunately the federal postal service did their usual half of a half assed job, took it back to their centre despite me being home and not hearing a knock at the door, only to find it sitting on the floor with about 4 huge boxes on top of it and despite the excellent packing, much of the boxing was crush damaged even perforated in paces. Call me a nerd, but box art is part of the experience.
Anyways, that was the first and last time I did it. I would rather drive hours there and back to a store than have that happen. Sometimes though, if you have to get it from say overseas, you're in their hands.
The only consolation is that those kits, were the Revell space stuff and no one since 2020 has ever restocked them, so I got the last of that group!
But thing is, I suffer from the fear of starting. I have even bought a lot of really cheap kits, that I like to use as sacrificial kits. To practice my gluing, filling, sanding, painting etc. But I am still frozen to actually open up one box and start. How's that for being silly. But I'm a perfectionist and expecting too much after a 40 year lay off. I know why I'm doing it, just not how to stop doing it! 😅
With my stash I could open a small store... almost!
OMG!
My Tiger arrived earlier this month, I've taken a look at it but not too deeply as I'm building Andy's M4A3E8. I'm hoping the assembly instructions are better with the Tiger as some of the images of the placement of parts in the Sherman's are terrible
I have this kit plus the Sherman and 2 more Tank's from Ahhq in 1/16 scale plus the Jeep. Thanks for sharing 👍 have a great day.
Those that have had the jibby jabby have been getting strange flues etc and coughs here in Australia lol
Oh Blimey! Don't say that! 🤒
Bloody hell Peter! Just started watching this properly... the biggest box I've seen in a long time
I think this present from his wife was a ploy to keep his contagious person away from her for as long as possible.
It worked! (I am fine now!) 😜
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Hint : there will be more of those Andy kits ...
@@flitsertheo Probably not: After the HOLY GRAIL, others might not quite be as impressive...😉
2024's Holy Grail will be the 1/35th Akagi flight deck and Kate Bomber.
That's a nice looking kit... the details that a builder could perform on that..wow...
I'm glad you are feeling better. My wife and myself had the same dreaded sickness.
All your reviews are great work.
From California USA.
Much appreciated, thanks. Glad you are better now.
Funtastic and outstanding kit, thanks for sharing my friend, hope you feel better, all the best, greetings from Portugal😉🤝
Obrigado! ☺️🤝🇵🇹
I am hoping that Andy would do a 1/16 of the M-24 Chafee… I always love that tank
Yes! I agree! I have the little matchbox one built in my cabinet from 'The Bridge at Remagen' movie.
oh yes. One of the best looking tanks ever
Oh, goodie.....ANOTHER tank....sheesh.
But a HUGE tank! 😜
Great review Peter. Andy certainly chose the right partner in Takom my current project is the Takom V1 launch site and they do seem to excel at large plastic moulds with a minimum parts count Ha! It's a wonderful nod back to calling the instruction manual the “Tigerfibel” which was the original manual given to the new crew of a Tiger and was unique in its use of comic characters aka Tamiya style to inform the young crews how to carry out basic maintenance. We should have a night in honour of our wonderful wives who put up with us when I started going out with mine all my kitchen cupboards were full of unmade Tamiya kits what must she have thought? I was definitely punching above my weight when I landed the current Mrs McKnight.
Hi Peter well sometimes a model just feels right this is one of those times, what lovely kit it’s great to see all them parts on 1/35 you never really see in big scale it will be fun to build and even more fun to paint and well done for soldiering on even when you wasn’t firing on all cylinders 👍
What an impressive kit
Yes me and me pneumonia sympathize with you Peter 😊
Once again I was not able to follow the live stream. The biggest Tiger tank I ever did was in 1/35 scale. This one is a monster! And the box as well. You would think that a kit this size didn't have tiny parts but they just keep making some of them smaller. Don't condemn me for heresy, normally I rather dislike hard plastic tank tracks. Too small and you might be better off with those long single piece soft rubber ones... However I've built two 1/16 scale tanks so far and I have to say it was a pleasure to put their tracks together. And the rest of the kits too.
Brilliant, but I'd have to move my car out of the garage to have somewhere to display the completed kit.
Sitting here putting together the tracks for my AH Tiger. Amazing kit! Here’s a tip on the tracks. I wound up having to chuck all the pins in a small drill and gently sand the pins down so they slid in somewhat loose otherwise the tracks were VERY stiff before doing this. Otherwise it’s on par with his Easy8 that I just finished. Good luck building the kit! It’s worth every penny!
Get well Peter, greetings from Argentina.
Gracias, Rodrigo.👍🏻
I'm watching this review again. Looked at the other tanks with the inside stuff in them. Like would that be fun the inside stuff. Then will there be aftermarket to like to just do the inside where you can see. Should I wait to see. The price is high without anything inside a little 164.00 USD plus tax. Verses Trumpeter King Tiger with the inside stuff 300.00 USD. Do you need the inside. To be or not to be. LOL
I was just in his store a month ago. Saw that sitting on the table. On my list to get when I go back through.
You get a new sub with an intro like that 😅
Thanks! 😃🤣
Firstly hope you are feeling better now and excellent review Peter i really like the 1/16 Tanks from Takom i have their 1/16 Panzer 1 and das werk Stug IIIG i might have to add this one as well i really want to make Tiger 131 as it is now with the damage it has on it
You take care . it wont walk away my man. Looking forward to your build once again. Nick
Thanks Nick. 👍🏻☺️
Hello love your videos, could you please tell me what make those white lights are at the back of your desk. Looks like magnifiers as well. Thank you
They are lightcraft magnifyer lamps. ☺️👍🏻
they spelled wittman's name wrong. lol
I preordered one of these after watching Andy build one on his UA-cam channel in February.
Mine arrived on Thursday and it was great to see your reaction to unboxing yours. It's a stunning kit and worth the price I paid for it.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab I'm sure I will Peter.
Regarding the schemes, and your comment regarding the desert yellow on the Eastern Front. As far as I am aware, until sometime in 1944, Tigers (1 and King) left the factory in the yellow colour, with the rest of the camouflage being applied in the field. Hence each tank would be different, and there was no reason for an Eastern Front tank not to be kept in desert yellow, particularly if it was a reinforcement, and had to be got into combat quickly. Later on in the war I understand that camo was applied in the factory.
Blimey, the Keith Floyd of kit openings........wine in hand! 😜 😂😂😂😂 As it happens, my Tiger has also arrived and it’s absolutely fabulous!
Get better soon!
Another interesting review of an interesting new model. It would be great for you to do a video build of the kit. Kind regards, and I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Mark. Not sure about video builds though...maybe a photo montage?
Got 2 last month. One for me and one for my son. Box actually looked the same size as yours but had 2 in it lol
That’s just not fair! 😩 (but presume you paid for two?)
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab I did and also customs charges from Germany where Andy’s eu online shop sends from
@@troughtonchard Ouch!
Great review of a most impressive kit. I hope the tracks and road wheels don't drive you mad! You could also terrorize the dogs and cats in your neighborhood with it. Thanks for the review and get better from the flu👍👍👍
Cheers Joe. ☺️
Say what you like but the Kinetic Harrier will be the one kit you remember the most and feel greatest pride over when you look at it. Armed with hindsight dare I say it will be a kit you will want to tackle again.
Never! 🤬 😂
For a moment, I thought you went on the dark side of the Force and got the 1/32 Border Lancaster! Whew, when I saw the Tiger 1/16 then I knew you didn’t turn to the dark side!😅😅😊

Yes Sir! ☺️ 🎭 And thank you. 👍🏻
hi Peter , loving all your vids, what brand are those lights you have on your desk, and do they give out a good amount of light ?
Thanks Brad! They are Lightcraft and yes the LED ones are very bright
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab , great , thank you for your reply, will look into trying to find them to buy .
Hope you get over the cough soon. Claret is good but I find that Drambuie works better.
Welljell sir 😭😭
Nice gift. I never bought the Sherman but this one looks like a good one.
When doing an engine for a piston engine model plane kit, is it better to paint the parts before hand or assemble the engine first and then paint it as a whole unit?
I paint the parts first usually.
Sorry I missed this ,, I’ve had manflu as well
Manflu is VERY serious, 😱 🤧 much worse than Covid...hope you ok. 👍🏻
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab I’m feeling better today might even manage a beer later , hope you’re well
@@TheBez1965I just cannot shift the damned cough, Colin. Keeps waking me up.
Same here …take care looking forward to the K word review
@@TheBez1965Thanks Colin...In that one there should be no coughing, but lots of cursing! 😆
Is it wrong I'm noticing your glass of claret, and thinking, ' this is a civilized hobby', for grown ups😂😂😂
Lol, well it's a step up from Rasberryade I used to drink when modelling in 1975! 👍🏻😂
Looks like a great model, wish I could afford it 😒
Nice review of a huge kit!
I have the same problems
With views only mine is WW1
Aircraft.😮😊.
Get better soon, so you can release the Dog's of War!😊
Don't get me wrong - i appreciate the effort put in these new 16 scale toolings and thos who like to build and admire it. But it is getting absurd with the mass of 16 scale kits. Its so chunky and big... and not even R/C.
@@Zweispeer Yeah, I know what you mean...But: It's a TIGER1 !😁😄👍🏻
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab it's a fair cop 😸
That was awesome. Really enjoyed the honest review of this amazing Tiger. Thank you for sharing. Just hit the subscribe button so I can catch up on past content and future videos. Keith Floyd did like the odd slurp and some.
I laugh every time you pan out the camera.
… f a n t a s t i c….!!! 👍🙂
Please don't think I am being nasty but..... I hope you made this model fairly quickly because - DAMN - it sounds like you are "not long for this world." I do sympathise.
That's a scary amount of plastic! I am now going to have to find your build videos because even with instructions I'd panic.
@@truthhurts9241 Oh Cheers!🫣 I am fine, just the usual autumn asthma. 👍🏻
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Damned glad to hear that. My regards...
@@truthhurts9241 Oh hang on...no! We were just live I thought you meant today...yeah I was really close to DEATH in that vid, but I pulled through. 🤣
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Ah, yes, so sorry for confusing message. Glad all is well. Anyway, the build videos - glad you did them instead of me. They' would have been a bit too much for me.
Anyway, I'm subscribed so I should be able to find them easily.
My regards...
I just subscribed to your channel! I also watch Andy's channel as well. Greetings from Springfield Massachusetts USA P.S if you got a cold, sambucus elderberry immune support gummies work very well. Just take two a day.

I though you were unboxing the new 1/35 Apache, because that kit is epic! 👍
I am not a fan of choppers...
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Fair enough :)
Will be missing the premier show! What a bummer, however I will watch the vid later today.
Sorry to miss you, but am sure you will enjoy it, apart from me coughing (not been too well this week!🤧)
Yeah, build videos from manufacturers would be nice, but you're right about the language barrier...I can hardly understand anything you say.😂😉
(I'm kidding people)
Lol! 🤣
Thanks for a great show. I say thanks but I'm now finkin of getting one. Great va,ue for money. I think Andy has done a lot of good for the hobby with his clear and simple How To videos.
Totally agree
Bloody hell that`s a lot of plastic!
A gift from your wife? Looks like she is getting rid of you and your cough for a month or so 😂
🌭Hot dog! 🌭 Can’t wait!
Should I/Shouldn't I?.....
Hi Grammar Police here....
Having Actually visited Michael Wittmann's (and crew) grave in La Cambe Cemetery in Normandy.
I am Appalled by the most celebrated Panzer Ace (apart from Knispel) name being misspelled on such a prodigious 'Social Media Platform'..
I may buy 2 of these.... Why?
Because in my early 40's, I had to stop MM in 1/35 scale due to Presbyopia and shaking hands due to early onset of a shit lifestyle (12 hr shifts in FMCG)...
Why did I mention this?
1. Napoleon Brandy
2. I was recently in my 'ManCave' looking for an important missing item.... happened to stray over to my collection of 1/35 German WWII kits and, while blowing off 25+ years of dust. I noticed just how small the scale seems now! (It seems the same as 1/72 Airfix Tiger1 did to me 50 years ago)
Am I waffling? of course I am....
“It came in good condition, which is nice”. It wouldn’t have done if those clowns from Evri had delivered it.
DPD
It has been a while since I built a kit, but I have been after a 1:48 scale Moskioto, any ideas of the best kit?
Tamiya ! Brilliant kit both versions. 👍🏻
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Thanks, I will look for it!
Revell/monogram or Dragon
@@mikehanson7328 Wait! I thought Paul meant De Havilland Mosquito, (it's the wine!) if not, then Mike's comment here is spot on. Sorry for any confusion!
Tweed jacket and latex gloves 😂 clubbing gear?
....таааак много деталеййййй!....
I hope it finishes before my Gotha premier, I would hate to miss my own video 😂
Sorry Jason, I didn't realise they would clash! This should have been done on Weds but I have been ill. (Still coughing in the vid! 😷) Tell you what, I will pull my vid forward 15 mins to avoid a clash buddy. I will then also be able to enjoy yours too. 👍🏻
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Your a scholar and a gentleman
We need these kits with interiors,don’t see the point otherwise .come on Andy let’s develop one with an interior please , the packaging of the sherman was poor I had a lot of sprues with damaged parts ,a bit more care could be taken in this area as these kits are expensive to say the least,sorry Andy but I won’t be getting one, for an extra £50 I can get one with an interior and it’s packaged better , am surprised that takom packaged it like this but hey people will buy am sure but a bit more care would be nice when producing these big kits .
I think full interior would make this almost a £300 kit and take up to a year to build. There is breach detail and commanders seat, I think that is probably enough for most people.
I agree with you it is something we will all get. Not a toy or wearing you out with hard work. Molded in 02 you didn't catch that one. I won't weather it. I do new because they were new on the first so I can skip that madness. History is Tursk delayed three mouths for 90 Tigers to get there. Lost a lot from Anty tank poisons no help at all. There were hundreds made like you would run into them anywhere, Pain in the ass for our guys. I apricate you finding that gem. I want you to throw the Harrier out the window and kick it all around the yard for revenge. My Airfix 1/24 Harrier is there jump on that dog too. I do love that Tank. Tiger is known it was the Star of the Movie White Snow. Nazi Zombies. Comedy Englis style. Police car is that a tank? Then the real Tiger runs over the gar them bailing out. Kelly's Heros was the 3 Tigers making us laugh American style, Everyone knows what a Tigar Tank is. Made them laugh. LOL
How many lights ? First time viewer

Stand by, Andy's already talking about a 1/6 scale P51 😮
You haven't opened it because you have been 'Claretised for the past couple of days!
Sorry but for me, it isn't outstanding. Further more, once is finished, I think it will look like a big seconds class toy.
It will look great if painted and weathered correctly, maybe some chipping effects too.

Peter I lasted 49 minutes.
I can’t listen to you hacking up your guts any longer 🤦♂️
Please do the (Professional) thing and record this again later.
You should have waited until you felt better mate.
Sorry about the coughing, but I did apologise several times. Unfortunate timing...It couldn't really wait any longer as had been postponed 3 days already as I was one of the first in the UK to receive it and time & exclusivity was a factor. Had it not been such a new item I would have waited. I suggest you watch the rest as it got a lot better later in the vid. And you can always turn the sound down and put subtitles on...Usual high quality service will be resumed soon.👍🏻
