    Thanks for featuring so many Academy kits in your videos. Many of their early kits were plagued by bad fit and soft details, so I'd stayed away from them. Your videos have convinced me that they've cleaned up their act and are now producing good, build-able models. I'll definitely give them a try.

    Wow, that is an impressive technique using black as the base coat and applying the final color as the second coat! I'm building a Merkava right now and I'll try this on my model. Thank you for this video!

    Great job on the Merkava Andy. You amaze me how quickly you can build, paint and weather a model tank and make it look so simple too. I know you put in a lot more time than we get to see, but you just seem to have a natural gift for modelling. Many thanks for sharing this latest build and I am already looking forward to seeing the next one. Have fun, Joe

    The Merkava MKII is, imho, the most interesting looking Merkava. I'm sure they had a reason to make the MK 4 with the huge turret, but this assymetrival front and turret front is outright amazing.

    Awesome work again Andy. The paintjob highlights really brought a nice looking tank to life. I regret not buying that kit when I saw it at local hobby shop now. If I ever do anything outside WW2 this will be it.

    Wonderful to watch the fabulous builds Andy. You have reinvigorated my love for armour modelling with your honest approach. Where sometimes parts are broken off, lost in the carpet or fitted upside down, we've all done it but your finished models are just fabulous! A huge thankyou and we in the UK wish you every success for the future.😀

Thanks again for putting these together!
