Thank you Ronald Troester!

I pre ordered mine a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait for it to get here and start working on it. I'm going to trick it out with the Technical Manual that my uncle gave me. He drove one when he was in the Army. When he saw how much I liked tanks he presented me his TM, dated 1944.

Wow, I thought he said he wasn't going to pre-order until the test shot came in. Very cool.

I stand corrected. I ordered the 1/16 scale Jeep a couple weeks ago. Got excited when I saw the tank. Will definitely be pre ordering one.

@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters You are correct. I ordered the Jeep from you, not the tank. But you can bet your boots I will.

Congratulations from Romania! You are a model for all of us.

Beautiful Andy! Here's my usual vote for a Cromwell or Comet next!

This is just so awsome!! I watch your videos from the start in 2015 and you have really nailed it, amazing progress, from a small store to the big you have now, my hat off to a true model boss! inspirering for all of us and always positive and jolly. A lot of good information about the build up prosess so when I build on f your model videos I watch your video before I build to look for tips. Your videos are always top quality and nice to watch! Never stop making those videos boss!😀This 1/16 Sherman tank and the jeep is just wow..a must have for all of us.

Thanks Andy, you are fast becoming the saviour of the large scale modelling world, offering us great kits at fantastically competitive prices. I for one am really look forward to see what suggestions your wife has come up with for future kits. I don't think you'll have any worries making sales if you keep your prices below what the "big" boys sell theirs at. Keep up the great work!!

Amazing and beautiful kit. Well done Andy.

Andy, thank you so much for making the tracks function so well!!

Great job, Andy! Nice to see you enjoying the results of all your hard work on this.

Just pre-ordered and looking forward to the build. What a great kit thabks Andy for bringing this to us.

Congratulations! It must be an epic time for you! Looking forward to getting my hands on one of these.

This is a milestone in our hobby. Congratulations and thank you for bringing this to the world.

Outstanding! A different spin in making your own model for us all. Brilliant and humble. Thank you.

Beautiful kit. You should be very proud of this stunning 1/16th scale model. Looking forward to your build video.

Wow! Stunning looking kit Andy, great job! 😍👍🏻

Congratulations Andy! I love watching your videos. You are extremely knowledgeable and expert at assembly and painting. Best wishes on your new business venture!!

Just pre-ordered and can’t wait. It looks amazing. What’s great is that this is only the beginning. Awesome job Andy!

HOLY SHIT, ANDY! THAT THING IS EXCITING! I may want to get that thing myself now! Very nice, I think it's gonna be a hit!!!!!

Wishing you good luck with this venture and for the future.

Congratulations Andy. Glad it worked out for you. 👍😊

Well done, Andy fantastic looking model. So we’ll put together, this is a must get.

Wow Andy you have nailed this, beautiful work

This is very exciting!!! Congratulations Andy

Thanks Andy! Placed my order! It looks fantastic, and I really appreciate you and Tacom providing enthusiasts a reasonably priced large scale Sherman!

Looks AWESOME!! Just preordered mine!

What a superb kit Andy, great job!

Man, seeing this brings me memories from when I was younger: watching your videos for advice on doing model tanks, vehicles & general appliances like weathering differing objects like armour, bags etc

It speaks for itself, beautifully done, top shelf!!!

VERY exciting & the kit looks fantastic Andy!👍👍 I just pre-ordered & look forward to November! 🙂

Great !! Just pre-ordered the Sherman and the Jeep !!

Congrats! This looks awesome

Hoping it will evolve into a full interior kit thanks for commissioning it can't wait to get 1

This is amazing. Wish I had the cash for it. Congrats Andy. Beautiful looking kit

I occasionally do armor kits, aircraft are my thing, but I could not ignore the excitement in your voice. It did get me excited about this kit too. It looks totally awesome and I can't wait to see it built up. Be safe Andy and keep us updated.

Looks amazing Andy...Congratulations.👍👍

Haven't been this excited since my wedding night!!!! Great looking kit.

This is the kind of kit as a young modeler you could only dream of and now it's reality. Thanks Andy, still waiting for the E8 t shirt

Congratulation! Well done! It looks great!!

Andy, you look like a proud dad with his first child! Congratulations!

One day, if I ever manage to open my own museum, I am def coming to you for models to put into the exhibits. This is such a beautiful kit and I can see the love and attention to detail. I'm def going to pre-order this when I get the chance

Congrats Andy. Very nice project.

Congratulations, Andy! I told my Dad about this kit because he has been waiting for a 16th scale Sherman for a long time.

Congratulation Andy! Can't wait to order mine.

Looks amazing, congratulations.

Looks phenomenal!! I should start stocking up on paint for this.

Andy got me back into modeling and I have to get this kit now!

Definitely going to get one. Great video!

Just placed my pre-order and already ordered the Jeep. Thanks for 1/16 US Armor!!

Congratulations, wonderful when a plan comes together. Sadly no hobby shops near me lol.

Congrats on a major accomplishment.

loving the ambition! we need passionate contributors in the model building community

Just...WOW! A-MAZING! GREAT call going with 1/16 scale; I LOVE the level of detail that can be captured in larger scale vs. smaller. Granted, modern mold shot tech has alleviated some of that, but you can't escape the reality that tiny details on the prototype are just more easily reproduced with good fidelity in larger scales. So, again, stellar call going 1/16 on this. CANNOT wait to see one with all the final details; casting texture, welds, etc. As for overall presentation -- well, nothing says "big" quite like actually being BIG. My guess is there's gonna be a lotta guys, especially those really into armor, whose biggest challenge with this kit is gonna be making enough space to fit it with the rest of their model motor pool when it's done. Hats off to you, Andy; it's obviously a dream coming true for you, and great to see it turning into such a desirable kit, to hear so much enthusiasm for it. You just might make an armor modeler out of me, yet. LOL!

Amazing looking kit! Congratulations!

Just started making models a month ago. Went from 1/48th to 1/35th both m4a3e8s and had to go with this one just the Korean War version. You sir are truly an inspiration.

Ah man can't wait ro get my hands on one off those, well done mate she's beautiful.

Awesome Andy and congratulations on getting this monster of a Sherman.

Nice! it's exceptionally detailed.

Oh he'll yes. Congrats mate!

Wow. Really great looking stuff. Definetaly worth considering once i have higher budget.

This looks like this will be an awesome kit. Have recently made the Tamiya 1/35 easy eight with Fruil tracks which is a great kit for fit and detail, but the larger scale of 1/16 looks really appealing. Good luck Andy with the final version!

Thanks Andy! I like your videos very much. You‘re a very sincere character to show other people our hobby. I live in Germany and order my Sherman today at MBK (Modellbau König).

Andy you really have grown and progressed so much Another great video !!! Interesting subjects !!! I started watching many years ago Cool , very cool Andy!!!

I pre ordered the Jeep, can't wait to get it, it will be a NAVY version. A full interior kit for the tank would be awesome.

Congrats, Andy! That is super cool!

Andy, I guess the pre-order will last until it hits the shore? I'm happy you are producing this and its clear your joy is genuine! 🙂

great video and product...the sherman..can't go wrong. I have slowly been accumulating 1/16 scale vehicles...so much you can do with them!

This kit really is mind blowing. I have mine on order.

Good onya Andy , well done with this kit . Will get one when they hit Australia.

Andy, you should be very proud.Well done. Can't wait for the M51 Isherman

Just received mine today! It is an AWESOME kit-you really hit it out of the park! Am guessing your next project will be a Panther! Once again, GREAT JOB!!!

Love it! Pre ordered mine!

Congrats Andy. I'm happy for you. Yuou are truly a treasure for the scale modelling community. If it wasn't so damn hot in Phoenix I'd pay you a visit. Perhaps in October or November. Keep all the good stuff comin' bruddah. We love yah!
