they should of given this kit to someone that actually deserves it

It looks like the rear machine gun needs turning by 180° as it can now only be fired by someone outside the vehicle??? 🤔🤔

You can get a lot of fun out of this kit. Thank you, Mr Takom. Besides that there is no silly fun during the buid streams. Like calling the vehicle a "Burger Panther" as if it will bring Burgers to you. That's not Herbert's or his community's cup of tea... now I want a burger...

Are you a giant????

Hello Herbert. Great vid my friend and and great looking kit to build. I believe that the 3 items, at 13 mins, are ammunition pouches called Gurtsacks for the MG 34's and the pipe doodads are for oil that lubes the torsion bars. Now I feel a real Rivet Counter but Panthers are my fav panzer. I'm loving the build vids on the Bergepanther and look forward to the next instalment, Take care and happy modeling....

20 views and seven upvotes? Where is everybody? I’m f two minds about super detailed armor kits. I love me some fiddly accurate detail, but the guts of armored vehicles are so tightly crammed into the armor that inevitably lots of that detail becomes hidden. I’m glad you’re struggling with that and not me.

Mouse ,get it? cos its huge hahaha

What region is your way of pronouncing from?

I liked this vid, music not too loud or distracting, excellent mild humor, and informative to me. I get one delivered in a few days. PEACE .

Just got mine in today with the 250/11 expansion, kit looks good and a nice addition to my 250 Alte collection.

Well, Zvezda's BMP-3 1/100 sure floats(if it watertight)

9:22 For those wondering, the Coax MG tab attaches to a small notch on the bottom left side of the main gun. The magazine part goes through the large hole. Don't force it. There was a small circle protruding out the bottom of the magazine for mine that i cut off. If it's too snug, use a diamond file on the bottom of the magazine till it's not too hard to put in and out for dry placing.

Very Fashionable Tank!

I have recently converted to rubicon from 1/72 scale & find them really good and accurate

The holes that need to be drilled are on step 7 indicated by tiny arrows. Too bad there is no indication that the arrows mean that holes need to be drilled 😉

In reference to Erp's comment on not wanting to go into battle in one of these tanks, who wants to fight in a war. In the mean time the vehicle itself held its own against the armour arrayed against it. It suffered most casualties from the desert and the inability of the support teams to keep up with the advance.

I wonder if it is just decorators caulk...It seems to behave in a similar way

That's a nice building for All-Special-Supporters. 😉

I just watched a bunch of backrooms videos and you sow me three fifths of a building that leads to nowhere. Now I have to go to bed and will have nightmares. I thought you had ruined it when you slapped the grout everywhere but you saved it. It’s quite believable in that scale.

My grandpa was part of the 5th Armored.

I built 3 pieces of these things for my custom 40k army.

Mice are so cute!!! 🐁

If you are in perth and want some very reasonably priced N scale anything, go to Maylands Model Railways, bunch of second hand stuff and too many bargains to comprehend

😂

Amazing video. You should try the Zvezda 1/72 Maus, i'm thinking on buying it however i cant find a good video in english on it, would be great if i had a proper one. Keep it up!

You actually canmake it convertible without magnetizing, its a very nice kit and things just snap in, 1. Just glue the floor of the Hull of the sexton super structure and the the gun to the super structure. 2. Glue the front Ram/Kangaroo "transmission" piece to the front (sextons can use either one) 3. Put the super structure on top of the hull place and snap it into the front piece 4. Now snap in the sextons back piece and done. It can take a fair amount of pressure/moving around without coming apart 4. When assmebling the ram's turret, glue the round bottom plate to the peg protruding from the turret instead of the hull 5. When you want to switch to a ram, pull the back plate out first, and just do what you did with the sexton

The S-shaped parts are hooks that are used, for example, when towing with heavy chains. The small box at the rear is the smoke system of the Pz III series. There were 5 or 6 smoke grenades stored there, which were triggered individually from the inside via a cable pull. These fell to the ground and filled the area around the vehicle with smoke. In principle, these were smoke grenades (hand grenades).

It looks very good. Shapes are spot on, nice detail. Why do you use so much glue?

Herbert driving large heavy objects into things at high speeds. Best ASMR ever.

They should give you even more heavy machines. You run them safely... kind of....

Why they have no tails??

As somebody have written this bar at rear is to lower and rise propeller for swimming. This two caps on top front are caps for fuel tanks and this butt empire is probably the worst part of the kit. Schwimmwagen had two seats similar to those in front with quit huge air intake for radiator between them. Nevertheless since I've made one of them I need to say it's fun kit to glue and I'm really happy that it swims

Hi. Nice kit, nice build , shame about the commentary. If you don,t know your subject then do some research. And they do have a name that rolls off the tongue. There called a Demag. You see research does pay off. I,m not trying to insult you but please just comment on the build and the video would be much more watchable. Remember your a modeller not a comedian. Regards.

Nice little kit. Enjoyed your build very much, as usual. I may be weird but I really prefer this format of your build videos rather than the recorded streams for some reason.

Being lazy, I did not pause the video to make a prediction. I did think about it though. Before seeing that the tub was two pieces I figured that it should float depending on whether there were any holes in the tub for the running gear and whatnot, and whether those holes sealed well enough when those parts were added. After seeing that the hull was two pieces, I figured it would come down to how well they fit together plus the skill and attention to detail of the builder. Evidently the hull pieces and running gear did seal well enough in your hands. My mileage might vary. Knowing that it is possible, the model would be suitable for a diorama showing it in water and under power. Getting it to stay immersed while the resin is poured and setting might be a challenge though. There are lots of historical military vehicles intended to be used in water. The DUKW immediately comes to mind along with various tanks equipped with “wading” accessories. The latter weren’t intended to float exactly though a styrene or resin model should at least end up liquid-tight. I can’t recall whether you have posted a video of you building a DUKW. If you haven’t it will be the ideal next kit in this series.

I wanted to know if the bicycle is a Schwimmbicycle. You didn't show. Now I am sad. 😥

she schwimms!!

Looks to be a nice little kit that I need to have in the stash. As for the tool on the rear end, I believe that it was used to raise and lower the propeller when entering and leaving the water. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's it's job. Great vid and I look forward to the next one, thanks my friend.... Oh, and it'll float .... Or not.... I dunno...

Nice wee model even though the tooling was old.. Ok I cheated🤫 to see it float.. 🤭👍

I want to Build and Field a Cromwell for my British Army!

Beautiful video!!!!! 😃

More than two of us have noticed. It’s just that we didn’t want to bring it up. In my case I’m concerned about your health. I hope that’s not the case. I have mentioned that I just don’t watch livestreams so I’m also hoping that you didn’t think I didn’t like you any more. I definitely like your dedicated build videos, “wheely good” jokes and all. That’s either cringe-level lame or your catchphrase. I prefer to think it’s the latter. I also mentioned that I appreciated your trips to film local military monuments at parks and whatnot, and you said that your health was making that difficult for you, and they weren’t getting a lot of views, but that says more about your audience than anything else. I realize that you have to play to your audience in order to get views and monetization and all that. Which of your videos get the best response? Your game playthroughs seemed to do well though you haven’t done many of those lately either. I’m also guessing that all of the back end work like editing is exhausting. Anyway, here’s hoping things pick up for you including self motivation and lots of views.

Every time I watch AAHE I think: "Man, If Herbert is a real dunderhead, we need so much more dunderheads of that kind... everywhere in the world!"

7 people have noticed so far. So onwards and upwards!

yay herbert erpaderps answers questions

Well, that settles it! I’m going to buy two or three of these 1/72 scale kits including this one along with the Hotchkiss H-35 and AMR 35 series (ZT-1 & ZT-3) as well from Megahobby! Hopefully the plastic isn’t TOO soft like the older RPM kits. BTW, nice video!

Are these better than the warlords bolt action metal figures

im clearly very late seeing this but how does the colour look so different from 17:20 to 17:30 as i really want a tank to look like the end result colour and not the 17:20 colour

I have built the same model, and as it is a *new* Tamiya 1/48 scale kit, the fit and the overall precision is quite astonishing, making the build a breeze. I also almost forgot the "roobar" ;-) The big size red cross decal for the roof needs some care when applying it over the 2 roof vents, to avoid some rumples ... decal softener to the rescue.

Thanks man. Great job. I have an original ATST toy. The viewing flaps are shut and there's a window in the side of the cockpit. Age has made the plastic go beige and yellow. A paint job would improve it. Maybe sacrilege to others! 🤭
