I sadly learned about the mistake just a few days after i put everything together. For any future Tigers I hopefully remember

I agree. The step with the radiators was a really weird choice from takom. I heard other people had similar problems with that step.

Thank you very much!

Yep sadly nothing new and just an old kit in a new box

Yep they are in the wrong way. I am not used to tanks in that scale so i did not notice at the time. But thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the recommendation. From what i found online that set is a bit older and not really sold anymore. But I do have the new Takom Hetzer's too when I want to build another one in the future. Hope they are fun to built aswell.

I agree. This is the part I'm least looking forward to when I start building the kit. I hope that all the parts will at least fit together well afterwards.

Its on my list. Probably after I finished the Tiger

Agree the price is really good for what you get compared to other kits

Yes there is a MG34 for the cupola. I just kept it separate for easier painting

@@dreamzzscalemodelling oh good..i just order this takom tiger otto carius..cant wait to build !..surely i will watch your video for reference

@muhdnadzim7850 It is a lot of fun and a nice kit. Just watch out with air intakes blocking the hull later

​@@dreamzzscalemodelling so...u remove the air intake ?

Yes i had to remove the top most part of the air intakes inside the hull

Your welcome. I hope F16's will very soon protect your skies!

You seem to know more about Tigers then me. Every model kit i saw had the two notches at the side so i just assumed thats how the barrel had to be oriented. But i guess it can be in any rotarion then, so thank you for the heads up :)

Good eyes! I already noticed the error during construction and flipped them, but forgot to show it. But thanks regardless for the info and feedback.

This is incorrect. The lifting pegs are actually on the higher side. Even Tiger 131 has them up higher. The way DSM has them on in his video is correct. Maybe there is an issue with the kit's fitment? But every picture I've seen of a Tiger 1 or 2 that has the pegs has them on the top half not lower.

Yes. Like i said its a design error by Takom that I would have fixed if i knew earlier.

Thank you! It really is a shame that a recently released kit like that has such big errors. That probably means that all other Tigers based on this tool have the same issues as well. I hope the rest goes smoothly for you and enjoy building!

Thank you so much. The big jig is from the online store fantasywelt. But im sure you can find it at different places too

Thank you! I know Quincas Moreira just makes really chill BGM

Thanks!

Thank you!

😀

Thank you! I am currently working on the new Takom Tiger I, which also has separate guide horns. At least they are designed in a way that you can attach multiple at once. But it still took a lot of time and patience

Carefully building and painting parts and then covering them happens so often. At least we ourself know how much time we spend on certain parts even if others wont ever see them

I watched Sprues and Brews and Nightshift to get an idea how to paint figures. Watching different people and their techniques is a really good way to learn a bunch of things to try out yourself

I can only agree. Most new releases these days have a really high quality. Its a huge difference to any model kits released 30 or 40 years ago what even cheap kits can achieve today.

@@dreamzzscalemodelling I just built Tamiyas Panther A, I believe it’s a 70’s tooling. Light years difference between that and other kits I have. A lot of fun though. Made me scratch build to compensate for shortcomings

The Panther A i also have on my shelf waiting to be built. Cant go wrong with a Tamiya kit even the older ones and scratch built upgrades are always a good idea

Thank you! Happy I could help

Thanks! Whenever I have to glue painted parts I use regular cheap super glue

Thanks :)

Thank you very much! The tracks received the same mud splatter effect like the rest. I just did not film it. But they are not that muddy in general like they could be i agree.

No. There was never a 10,5cm King Tiger. Only the hull and turret is real. Not the gun itself

@@dreamzzscalemodelling ok,TANK you for answering me

I just took a closer look at the instructions for you. You have the option to add all three included barrels. The metal one which is 10,5cm and two plastic ones. Both plastic ones are smaller so these should be the 88mm guns. A smaller gun-mantle for both of them is also included according to the instructions. I hope i could help you :)

Thank you very much. Trying out to do the mud with pigments this times worked really good

Thanks and good luck with your kit! Indeed. Night Shifts videos are great to learn new techniques

I usually go with one. I never had problems with acrylic paints over a gloss layer so that should probably work fine

@@dreamzzscalemodelling all right. Thanks again for your reply, I troubled you a lot 😂

Dont worry about it, I am always happy when I can help u. And also CZcams really likes videos that get comments so you are helping me grow the channel in return :)

Thanks :) Good luck and fun with your kit! What kind of T-34 variant are you planning to build?

Thats a funny coincidence

If you want to apply the same color over the same mask i usually dont wait beacuse the parts i started with are dry after i gave everything one coat. If you want to apply a new color and new masking over the previous one i wait about an hour usually

@@dreamzzscalemodelling understand. Thanks :) cheers.. Can't wait for your new video

I am sure almost all brown colors work for that. Maybe you could try Burnt Umber or Sepia.

@@dreamzzscalemodelling I was thinking too that I could use sepia, since the color is very similar. Thank you for your reply 😊

Thank you very much! Did u use the same 37mm gun as I or the M1914 machine gun in the turret?

I did use the same gun as you did. great minds think alike. I used Tamiya paints on mine. just like them I guess@@dreamzzscalemodelling

@@johncrimmins1540 never used Tamiya paints myself, but they have to be good looking at how popular they are

not as many colors as some brands. The are so nice to spray with either acrylic or lacquer thinner. Not so good for brush painting some of us have found@@dreamzzscalemodelling

Thank you :) I thought about it too. I have ordered the three brand new Takom Tigers that are awaiting arrival. Depending on when I can get them, they could be the next project or the one after that.

@@dreamzzscalemodelling cool, can't wait!

Thank you!
