Great build! I've been adding modeling clay inside the hulls of my builds to add weight. It makes the models feel more solid and also keeps them in place better if mounted on dioramas at an angle.

awesome work, it's a beautifully kit and a beautiful tank, keep doing it great andy!! greetings from Chile

Probably the best Sherman I've ever seen. Good job.

just bought this model,can't wait to build it, I have learned a lot watching your videos.

Andy always a pleasure watching and learning, I will be by around the first of the year

brilliant video,it has got me building tanks again after thirty years. keep up the good work.

great channel andy its helped me get back into modelling after about 40 yrs.i always loved building armoured vehicles .

very cool, like you stowage, that's my favorite part, of builds, besides painting, love the home away from home look, again very cool build.

Thank you for making this video! I've got my own M51 in the works, and didn't really know how I wanted to paint and design it. But after watching this, I know what I'm going for. Thank you once again!

As always Andy, museum quality work, thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed this build. Finish looks good. Congratulations from the UK

Sweet! I've seen this kit at my local hobby shop and I'll have to pick it up if it's still there on Tuesday. The mix of desert yellow and buff is a perfect desert color. As always your model looks fantastic and thank you much for sharing! Michael Truhett U.S.C.G. Veteran Semper Paratus 🇺🇸

Hi Andy: great Video! Thank you for posting. Best, Greg

A beautiful job on a beautiful kit. As usual. Thanks for the vedio.

I don't even model. But I love warbirds and tanks. And I think I gotta grab a model to try this week. Winter project!

Hi Andy, great build as always mate. I loved your armoured train build mate, top job as always.

That is a beautiful build. Very nice!

Stunning paint job.

You just gave me the theme of my next modeling project, thank you!

Damn Andy you make look so easy you're going to have to teach me.

That is amazing.I need to get me one for myself.

nice work mate...love the subject. You got some cool effects with the dry brushing..well done

Andy BRILLIANT job

Great job !!!

Hi Andy, I would just like to say that you have done a great job of the M51. I have got this kit in my stash to FINISH but have had a problem with it, I dropped the muzzle brake on the floor and promptly stood on it. I ordered a up-date set for the M51 but was not happy with the size of the M/B it seemed a little on the small side, but seeing your build I must get it out and finish the project. I will also subscribe to your site. Happy Modelling from Australia, Les

Gorgeous!

Thanks Andy.

i just got the tank and i’m still building it, it’s a very nice build.

Wow great build

Great build very detailed USMC !!

I building my right now., its a sweet kit like all the new tool Shermans from Tamiya.. Im doing OOB with minor addition like jerry cans and pioneer tool tie downs and some stowage. The figures in the kit are really good.

Beautiful model

Nice work! Nice music!

I've watched several of your videos. It's really amazing what can be done with plastic, glue, paint and some crafty skills. The quality of your end result is just top notch. I enjoyed the classical music and you have also done a great job filming and adding commentary when necessary. I built lot of models when I was young, then would blow them up with fire crackers or something crazy like that. Too bad you don't have a website to sell your kits on line, I'd certainly support you.

Nice work !

OMG... I instantly love the M51 Super Sherman. In my favourite tank game, WoT, it's closest analogue is the M4A1 Revalorise, which has a 105mm gun but painted in french colours.

Andy, you got me back into models. I never painted models as a kid. I built this model but do not have an air-brush. I guess I spray paint it black. then desert yellow then hand paint things. I do not know how the painting process could be simplified?

Hi Andy! This video convinced me to get back into scale modeling, and I was just wondering - What color did you use to drybrush it, and how did you do the tracks? Hope you see this! :)

+ojdee Hi I use stretched sprue

I love and learn so much from your videos. Quick question on the painting. You showed both Buff and Desert Sand. Do you use one separately as a base and then the other as a lighter tone or do you make a mixture of the two? Thanks in advance.

A little bit of a late reply, but I think they are mixed. I recently painted up a desert vehicle with Vallejo colors similar to Andy's colors here, and it turned out very similar.

Looks like the carpet monster all most had a road wheel

What colour is correct for IDF super sherman ? Yours is a beauty

Where did this stowage come from? It looks great!

VERY NiCE! do the wheels roll?

How do you use pigments ? I am new at this hobby and I was wondering what you mix with the pigment

I decided to buy the Academy one as it was cheaper and had more accessories PS could u send a list of all the u used Andy??

Great work.....but if you could slow down a little when switching paint, that'd be helpful.On this Sherman, near the end you switch to xf ? 5, for shadowing maybe.Do you do figures? tank crew? Would like to see how you do that.

Hi Andy, Have you put together Dragon's version of this kit from mid 90's with the separate track links and a tiny PE fret? If so, what were your thoughts? Glad to see you're getting closer to 50K subscribers :)

Oh, and they need to be rolling, hence I plan to make a little stop motion movie.

This vehicle is in World of Tanks, they call it the Revlaorosi. I've never been a fan, it's nothing more than a Sherman with a big gun.

Hi Andy! i just wanna ask where is your hobby shop?

Did that antenna come with the kit?

What kind of glue are you using and what is the drying time? Do you have to let it set before moving on to another step?

@beanlocater1308

It looks like he is using tamiya extra thin cement. I recommend it as it does the job really well. It doesnt take long for the glue to dry.

ver nice yob

I have a question, I see you using this glue in your videos. From my use of glues like this is the past they do not fuse the pieces in place very well and the model looses parts off of it. How does this brand work? I mean does it hold them tight bond them tight so that tomorrow the part does not fall off? My best luck has come with the Testers liquid cement that comes in the little funny shaped black bottle with the orange label. But it can be messy at times. How does this compare with the glue in this video? Thanks Much Tom

@tomdunphy6865

was1069 I prefer tamiya CA glue, most common type. Probably the one he is using. I find it is really easy to use, and dries in 10 seconds on larger parts. Only issue is parts have to be fully touching throughout the process or it will get gunky and fall off

Is this a good beginner kit? And is this worth it for me at 30 bucks?

I'm thinking of buying this kit. But I need to ask a couple things, does the barrel move up and down? and does the model have a US decal variant?

@Sreven199

I'm absolutely positive the barrel elevates and depresses. and to solve your decal issue, just buy an american tank decal set online, or raid another kit.

Andy, where do you get the stowage that you put on the tank?
