Hi Brett, the M21 is looking awsome, the OD looks great, looking forward to the next update soon, best regards from Australia, Les

That halftrack is looking great! Well done Brett!!

Looking good 💥👍💥

A impressive finish, which shows a great result. It shows the hard work that was put in and makes you satisfied. Best wishes, Joachim

Amazing finish, Brett! It’s a big model. The color variation of the OD looks great. Take care! Drew

Tried this on one of my problem bottles of paint and it works!! Thank you so much!!

Coming along! Nice build.

Hi Brett, this build is looking great, it just goes to show what can be done with a older Tamiya kit, price wise their older kits are some of the best on the market, looking forward to the next update, best regards from Australia, Les

what i do with all my clear parts is i use pledge floor polish and dip in and allow to dry hard overnight. then i can mask and paint very easily and if i make a mistake i use a damp pointed qtip to clean it away. works really good.

Looking good 👍

In the middle of building this model and followed you from part 1. Amazing how you forget that the kits in the mid 70’s just didn’t quite go together so well without some head scratching.

you need xuron sq nose pliersfor small stuff. just bought and they wok great for tiny parts.

Decals look great if the carrier film ends at the decal print.😊

I’ve been told by Steve Evans of Ronin Graphics decals 🇦🇺 that a drop of dishwashing liquid in the water greatly aids sliding them around. He screen-prints his sheets as well.

Interesting update Brett! You shouldn't have too, but would fine sanding the decals be of any help? And p.s. you probably put the decals on better than the ground crew ever painted them, they could be quite workmen like with painting!

All in all the plane turned out nice. I haven’t used their 1/24th scale decals before but have used several of their 48 scale decals without much issues. But you are correct, the insignias are a little thick. I didn’t use the micro set and sol, I used the tamiya mark set. Didn’t do any damage.

Sorry Brett, I should have said, M21, Les

Hi Brett, the M3 is looking great, I know it is an early Tamiya kit, but it is still building into a great model, their earlier kitscare still some ofbthe best about, plus it would not have a high parts count bedt regards from Australia, Les

Looking good there Mr. G

Thank you for the very helpful video. But this is just too tedious for me. Even link and length tracks are too much. I'm totally happy with the "lowly" vinyl tracks. I'm a modeler after all and I can make vinyl tracks look realistic. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Nice update, the paint job looks great. I am curious about Draw Decals ... I do own one sheet, and they make a lot of unique sheets of interesting subjects.

If you leave the canopy off, they'll paint the cockpit for free. 😁

Nice progress on the mustang. I used draw decals on my quick silver mustang. I like them. Only a couple seconds in the water. They’re printed as a single piece, so cut out closely to the decals edge. lol, the earl shive bit in the beginning 😅

lol, looking for next part :D

Looking great

Hey Brett! Still waiting for part 6 and the finished product. Awesome work you did on this model. Building this model now, reschribing the whole model just now, painting and decals gonna be like the boxart, Regards from Björn Eriksson IPMS Uppsala/Sweden

Hi Brett, Glad you’re pleased with the Tamiya Modelling File. 👍😎

The poly caps are on the sprue with the tracks.

Very nice halftrack chassis.😊

Hi Brett, you are making great progress on the half track, I believe thst these older Tamiya kits are still vet good value, for bothe the beginner and the more experienced amongst us, because who really wznt a kit thst is 2-4 times the price of thix Tamiya likts and about five timex the parts count, looking forward to the next update, best regards from Australia, Les

One of the worst models i have ever had parts don't fit right it went to the trash

i wish this was still available

Great work so far. I need to get that file .. thanks for the tip

Tameeya is correct, not tammeya. Thought I'd let you know. Super job.

Nice large scale Mustang kit, have fun with the build.😊

The Vallejo silver peeling up is not the paint's issue, it's the Mission Models primer it's it very good. Using a lacquer or good acrylic primer such as Stynylrez, I've never had a problem. There colors can have the same issue. Mixing their colors with their poly & thinner doesn't always guarantee sucess. Also their poly & thinner have poor shelf life. Just quit using them. Very nice work on your Mustang.

This is coming along nicely. I’m doing a 1/32 Revell P-51B for the ww2 gb.

Nice work on such an old kit. Nostalgia builds are fun.

Omg, acylic water based paint, what a waate of time

I invested in a 10 dollar nail polish agitator and just put the bottle in it with a ballbearing for about 1 minute

very nice video!

the colors in scale are more light 15 to 30 % .

olive drab its yellow and black, thats it .

Yep. I've got a '70s Tamiya Panther wreck that answers all my paint questions.

Excellent video just bought this device Thanks

Hi Brett, the build is coming along very nicely, I believe there is nothing wrong with the older Tamiya kits, they still build up into a great kits, more so for beginners but also for us old hands, they also do not have a high parts count, looking forward to the next update, best regards from Australia, Les

Perfect production. 👍🏼

wow wow wow- no locating pins? Insane! You sir are braver than I... best of luck on the build! Loving the simplicity of the cockpit for what you're going to see in the end. Had this been a Airfix 1/24 scale kit, they'd make you build practically the entire plane! :)
