[Lee78072]

Why does he Prime the whole Tank while the Tracks and Wheels are on it??? When i do a Tank, i Prime them Sepretaly!

[Toyman07]

This guy has some major skills!

[shiftercontrol]

These videos are awesome. I wish I could understand what these guys are saying. Seems like they know every trick about working with models.

This late-production Tiger 1 is a model of the last tank of SS Tiger ace Michael Wittman. He and his crew were killed in Normandy in this Tiger, No. 007 when it was attacked and destroyed at close range by a British Sherman Firefly. But not before Wittman had destroyed 15 Allied Shermans in a single engagement with this tank. The modelwork is superb. I'd like to know more about this putty material for making the zimmerit coating with the roller. Is it and the roller available in the UK?

[Silnius]

@Simona050 all you need is the Grey Tamiya putty or you can use the Tamiya Polyester Putty and the Tamiya Zimmeritt Applicator. all good hobby shops carry them all.

[Sephirius]

@Simona050

Recently it has been postulated that it is more probable that a Canadian Sherman VC made the kill, from the Royal Sherbrooke Fusiliers.

[nudzi]

@Sephirius

That's true. Couple of Tiger tanks were destroyed in that engagement. They were going through an open field and got attacked from 2 sides. One side were the british fireflies (which destroyed 3 tigers closest to them) and the fourth, Wittmans Tiger was destroyed by Canadian Shermans, which were completely obscured by a defensive wall. Funny thing is that the Brits and the Canadians did not know about their presence in this area.

The Japanese do everything well, this was not off that track. Well done! Subtitles wouldve been good for us modellers that only understand English. Thanks for the video though.

arigato gozaimasu :-D

[Nibenonn]

cool :) the text wheel he used. it look homemade, very clever and saves a lot of time.

[oOCrossroadsOo]

I understood a word !! Tiga means Tiger ! :P

[aguyfromsweden]

hmm.. the number on the turret is 007 just like James Bonds codename :)

[TheJakehitman]

im buying 1/35 tanks i need the practise so plzz mssage me

[qaesar09]

any1 have subs for dis ??

[Silnius]

to make Zimmeritt i use the Tamiya Grey putty with Testors liquid (water type) glue with brush to soften the putty, then i use the Tamiya Zimmeritt Applicator, it works very well. I dont know how many Tamiya Tigers i have Built lol

[Silnius]

also, i recently discovered that the Gum Ka Tiger 1 applictor is more accurate for the Turret large Zimmeritt indentation

[Silnius]

theres also the Tamiya Polyester putty.

[jjmac0y]

Great model of the tiger tank, Does anyone know where I can obtain those paint tin saucers from?

[ilara72]

They are made by MR Hobby. You can get them from sprue brothers. Thats where I got mine.

[jjmac0y]

Thanks for your help, I've been looking for these things for ages.

[jinjooviolin]

aha i knew that i wasn't the only that knew sprue brothers!

[BertBobR]

I might just learn japanese to understand these videos. It would save a lot of effort for an english-speaking contry to make a series like this though. Oh well, hope springs eternal.

[X2N18]

what kind of liquid is that when they done paiting they use like a liquid to make the paint a lil bit more thinner and make it look more good its that clear stuff thinner or something

how do i do thath help i want my models to look like just like that!

[sarmiica]

Thats just paint mixed with plenty of thinner and the technique is called 'wash'

[Deathofblades]

Um basically you said it. It is Thinner and like sarmiica said it is a wash. You basically make a wash but NOT too clear you still want it to be way too thinned out. Then you let it get into all the lines and detail of the model and dry. Then you get a Q-tip or Cotton ball and dip it in thinner and wipe out the excess wash and all you will get is the nice wash you did in the lines.

[TomClancyGhostRecon]

Michael Wittmanns tiger!

Kolego jak chcesz sie dowiedzieć napisz po angielsku

[alexw351]

Geez only if Ikne what he's talking about, anyway most excellent work

[RevKev5]

wow the bluetac amour is pure genius!

[StringfellowHawke71]

thats not blu-tac its a two part epoxy putty. you mix equal parts of a/b together. flatten it out on the tank and make your zimmerit pattern.

[evany14]

do you think blu-tac would work?

[FUCKYOURMOTHER916]

Whats bluetac?

[QuickSixx]

Its blue and its used to stick things together. Mostly people stick papers on walls with it.

Its easy to remove it from the place. Its like bubble gum :D

[KaiserVader]

All the japanese get the good stuff...

[utehchan]

cool !

[TopThrillDan]

That was my first tank model, lets just say his turned out much better. lol

[Deathofblades]

Ha my USS Missouri turned out okay but not to okay. My Abrams Tank turned out to be perfect I love it. If you'd like to see pics I can send you links from photobucket.
