Check out the followup video where I painted the 38(T)! kzread.info/dash/bejne/aHZnxa9uotarfNY.htmlsi=LS4JF15ePCTMQpv0

I like that the 38(t) is actually a Czech designed and produced tank that the Germans commandeered and used after they took over Czechoslovakia. It was a fun little tank to use in World of Tanks.

I would have skipped the 38 t and gone with PZ II to go with the 3 and 4. I'm building the PZ VI-E commonly known as the Tiger I. You may want to go with the simpler 38 t for painting first. You could get bogged down in all the choices in how to finish the Merkava.

Love the 38(t). Looks almost like a cartoon tank next to late war tanks. A buddy of mine is big into miniatures wargaming. He has HUGE collections of miniature vehicles, in different scales, most of which he built and painted himself.

😂😂😂😂Your like a kid in a candy store with all those models, enjoyed watching you getting all excited!!!!❤️

Panzer 38(t) was designed and built by the Skoda works in Czechoslovakia. The Germans took over the existing tanks of the Czech army and kept building them for a while. They called it the "38(t)" after the year they annexed Czechoslovakia (1938) and the "t" is for "Tschechien" which is the German name for Czechoslovakia.

I love how excited you are

So cool to see a youtuber give some airtime to my favorite hobby shop!!!

The 38T was a Czech design and a decent tank. Later in the war when obsolete the chassis was used as the base for self propelled howitzers and tank destroyers. My all time favourite is the Merkava so it would be cool to see you paint that up.

Thank you Lovely Lady for showing Us that Good Looking ,well stocked, Hobby Shop. Look forward to your future Tank builds. Nice to see a Lovely Lady enjoy building model Kits. Well as for me Its time to say Over and Out.

OMG, that was the store I grew up on. You must be channeling my soul. Same taste in in stuff. I even had dioramas in the window. Still looks the same. Thank for this flash back. I built the mark 4.

So fun to see someone who loves toys as much as me!

That C-130 in the beginning, if it's 1/48 scale, looks like the one I built decades ago. As a Marine I painted it in Marine Corps camouflage. Also did an A-6 Intruder, AH-W Cobra in USMC colors. My pride and joy was a 1/35 M543A2C 5 ton 6x6 wrecker, of course it was done in Marine Corps 4 color camouflage, kinda like the full sized one I drove and had to paint prior to an inspection. Luckily I had access to a technical manual with the patterns in it.

Very nice builds in that display cabinet.

Good choice. The 38t is one of my favorites. Also love the Hobbies Unlimited shout-out!

I live in NYC, which is, as another commenter pointed out, a hobby wilderness. I wish we had a hobby shop like the one you stopped in at the beginning of the video.

I started with models when I was very young. There's probably 98% consensus in this comments section that model-making and brick-building Lego pieces are nearly parallel. I'm thrilled my time learning from people like Adam Savage and the Tested crew, This Old Tony, Xylia Foxlin, and so on has ultimately led me to this channel. It is so nice to see a fellow nerd who likes to build stuff. :)

You seemed to have gotten the train guy at the counter; he didn't really know that much about tanks or he would have told you the 38 was a Czech tank right then and you could have gone with the others. Next time, the Pzkpfw III Ausf L is a good kit to pick. I primarily have Dragon as the bulk of my collection but I built the Tamiya L as a Bergepanzer and the lower half goes together in typical Tamiya shake'n'bake style. The Panzer IIIs and IVs represent the mainstays of the German forces with the Stug III actually being the most produced line of vehicles. Tamiya's Stug III's are from 1995 so a bit dated; Takom, Das Werk, Border, MiniArt, and Rye Field all make Ausf G's tooled in the 2020s. The Dragons are very good but are pricey now. The iconic one is the Ausf G in case you ever get Stug fever. Which everyone should be exposed to for the sake of their immune system. Exposure to Stug fever builds up your resistance to the idea of never building a Stug.

Also, the rubber band tracks aren't as good for German tanks as it is harder to recreate a proper sag. And in some cases those bands can deteriorate over time and break.

Years ago my buddy used to work in that same Hobby Shop. Small world for sure.

Nice Czech tank. Germany integrated the 38T into their early panzer divisions replacing the Panzer I and IIs in several of the divisions. Link and link tracks are very easy to work with once you get the hang of it. The trick is let the glue set up for a few minutes before you attempt to bend the tracks. When you get around to painting the 38T use a black primer and then spray white into the larger open panels to give a modulation. When you get it all painted up try using the oil dot filter which adds even more modulation to a mono color. I am about to start building the Takom 1/35 Panther Ausf G late so happy building!

I'm jealous! Here where I live in South Carolina is a modeling wilderness and I have to get kits and such online.

Oh my G! I know you from NRB blood on the clocktower, but was only peripherally aware of what you do outside of that. Now I just bought my very first gundam model, that I will build this weekend, so KZread has been recommending me all sorts of model videos. It was absolutely lovely to come across you again, and I knew you were a nerd, but not that you were even a model nerd! You just got so much cooler than you already were in my mind! 🤩

Well done, keep up the great work. FYI the Hetzer, a very formidable Tank Destroyer, was actually adapted using the Chassis of the Panzer 38(T) due directly to the 38T being so under powered. Also the 38T made up a large portion of the WWII Germany's Blitzkrieg; more so in the very beginning. It was considered a flaw once other nations started to produce better tanks than the 38T. Early on, it had it's place, but as time wore on it faded away much like how the bow and arrow were replaced by the gun. The 38T's chassis, however, did live on in the Hetzer and finished the War as a wonderful tank loved by its crews and hated by its enemies. Check out the Hetzer, I'm sure you'd like it just as much as it's very similar in size but the shape is a bit different as the Hetzer does not have a Turret...

Love that hobbyshop. I drive up from San Jose, enduring all the traffic once a month to see whats new. Waiting on the Border Models 1/35 FW 190.

Na das ist mal ne geile Model Show! Bitte mehr davon! Danke : )

Please do more tank models, amazing video I loved it.

The Pz 38 (T) was a Czech built tank that the Germans used following their annexation of Czechoslovakia. They were an excellent light tank for the time being a match for most early medium tanks. The Germans used them as front line battle tanks, until they had enough Pz III's and IV's in service. I built the Warlord Games plastic kit of it for Bolt Action. I don't know where I could share some pics so you could see, otherwise I would

Panzer. As in some ways may seem simple. But I think with washes and so on added with give more of a challenge with it smaller size taken into account.

I've been shopping here for over 20 years, back when the shop was on Hesperian. My 8 year old bought his first kit here a couple of months ago.

You officially won the internet for the best video thumbnail!

Omg for some reason I thought hobbies unlimited was gone. I used to go there more than 40 years ago. 47 to be exact. Back when most model planes were powered by cox 049 engines.And were tethered. Before radio control. The last model I built from them was a 1966 mercury comet caliente. I remember specifically because I owned a 1966 comet caliente and put in on the back window shelf of my car. Obviously you are local to me. You have a new subscriber

I think I'm in love! Awesome hobbyshop too. The Czech 38T was a great tank. Picked up and used by the German (Nazi) after the occupation of Czechoslovakia. Its was also licence built by the Swedes (STRV m/41) and the base of the amazingly competent Hetzer and Marder 3.

I'm so jealous, that is a great hobby shop! There is nothing like that within 300 miles of here.

Let me just add the thing about that Panzer IV that drove me nuts was painting all those little wheels. Very monotonous and repetitive. Great model though, like all Tamiya products.

I built that Pz III kit in the late 90's and it's really nice. Shame I don't work there, I could have told you about the subjects. If you like Shermans, try one of those Israeli M51's, they were insane but also a Sherman Firefly if you could get one, would be awesome

... Fahrvergnügen, Angela. That is a beautiful tank! I love the muscular brutalisim of the WWII Panther. Lovely! However... I would really like to see you work-on the Merkava Mark-5. That... is a thing-of-beauty!
