Andy your videos are keeping me sane! Keep up the good work. You are helping people...

I have been painting models for 40 yrs . mostly scale 1:87 . Usually before taking on an assigment I do the "study" on the big boys ...so I stumbled upon Andy .. Rarely have I enjoyed a tutorial on such matter . Normal person , with normal tone , giving the essentials - and hobby is in the first line , not the personal issues . Masters are usually simple , and this is a MASTER ! Few people I have subscribed, this is the one .

I would go nuts with those tracks, the built however loos amazing. Thanks for sharing

Ik things it's kinda cool that you use classic music in your video's. It is relaxing when your building a scalemodel.

I must admit, watching you Andy while watching build a kit send me to sleep sometimes,thanks

Very good 👍

another nice build Andy. I like the way that you get such fantastic results without having to apply multiple weathering processes. vids like this encourage new guys to try a weathering without feeling intimidated by all the washes,filters ,oils etc. super result. well done

Man your videos are awesome, i can just sit with a cup of coffee and relax with this, you woke in me the fire of making models and now i can't stop, thanks

Andy, you've got mad skills, brother.

I like the results. I use a brush, so the finish is not as smooth. I built that cannon, wit the longer barrel, by Trumpeter. Lots of fun. Thanks for your videos.

Andy, your build videos have no peer! Each and every one is OUTSTANDING. Additionally, no one can match your musical accompaniment. Some classical compositions instead of the usual rap crap. Thank you for that also. The only suggestion I could possibly make is for you to name the composition(s) accompanying the videos for us uncultured viewers. I'm good with "The 1812 Overture." However, while the melodies are largely familiar, I doubt I could properly name many of them or their composers. I wouldn't want to risk the wrath of Alex Trebek in Final Jeopardy! Thanks again for a GREAT time on-line.

part of my enjoyment is spending quality time working on the assembly and paint

another superb video, and build. top shelf as always Andy.

Very enjoyable build, it´s like a real build should look like. Some struggle with the parts setting, and excellent outcome ...cheers Andy...

Another quality build thankyou

LOVE the music you use in your videos!!!

great music, keep it going, great vid, thankyou.

To add to painting tips, military and heavy equipment if any painting done in the "field" basically out side of the factory or repair depot, they generally don't tape much if anything off and many times it's done with paint brush and/or roller back then. Now days a rattle can mostly. Any case overspray and paint on tires is actually accurate. Say tanks for example pretty common that replaced wheels would be primer or original color and not painted camouflage or other color unless the crew touched it up. Andy love your channel btw!!!!

That is actually some really solid advice and with a replacement wheel, it gives a little extra to a model, thanks!

This video was worth watching if only for the music! Great choice! I've got this combo in the stash waiting to be built...

as always mate, a great jib on a great looking kit.

Nice work, beautiful music.

Another great video. I am going to build one of these for my 88 thats nearly assembled. I habe been watching your videoes now for a few weeks solidly especially when i am building. I like the classical. You have given me a lot of confidence and advice. Keep it up. I wish that i had a store lile yours locally. If i am ever in your area i will pop in (unlikely 😞) as i would lile to thank you in person. Oh and buy some kits lol.

Just got in the Itarli german sd.kfz.7/2 3.7cm flak 37 auf seldstfahrlafette kit. It shares the same chassis as this with full engine and winch. As you stated many parts

Sir, what cutter do you use to cut the parts off of the sprues? I'm looking for a good cutter and I think it'd be nice to have a recommendation from someone who's been doing scale modelling for quite a long time😀

when you start airbrushing it looks so simple. I bought some new tamiya paints but couldn't find your tamiya paint airbush tips (horrible youtube comment search system). Can you show in your next video how you use the tamiya paints for airbrushing? :) I know you explained it once in a video but i can't find it anymore :S

Hi Andy, I cannot find episode 1 of this build and I wondered what cannon you chose to marry up with the Sd. Fkz 7 tractor?

Andy could u possibly do a Ostwind by dragon or a jagd panther because I would like to build one

Beautiful job Andy ! My only comment is ...you would have thought Dragon would have at LEAST put a Driver and a couple of riders in the kit ! What say you??

Andy could you please do a video about the tamiya churchill mk vii inclouding weathering, painting please.

Hey Andy! I've been building models for a couple of months now and have brush painted every single piece of the models along the way. It suddenly dawned upon me, what if I purchase an airbrush that could allow me to get a better finish and do it slightly faster (though i would still brush paint details and such). Which leads me to my point, is there a certain airbrush that you could reccomend to me that is beginner friendly and wont put me in debt? Anyway, it would be really neat if you could shoot me back a reply! P.S. Your model looks truely amazing! The level of detail you were able to achieve astonishes me.

James campbell Henderson i am new to the airbrush side of things and faced the same dilemma. So i looked and waited for a high priced iwata studio compressor to come io secondhand. I picked up a 700 dollar compressor for 150 shipped and its amazing. Take a look at whats available. It doesnt have to be new but of course make sure it isn't worn out. I couldnt find any good quality airbrushes that i could afford so inbought a kmoon Chinese knock off of an iwata and that works really well. That wa like 15 bucks. At least if you get one and dont lile it its not a disaster.

You should build a Tamiya Battleship 1/350
