    The Pz IV H first appeared in June 43 before the adoption of Zimmerit so early examples don't have it. Thanks for the great video 😊

    A very good Academy kit, the planning that went in2 this Panzer IV H great. Great paint job. Thanks 4 all hints in over coming minor hic ups in the assembly of the kits.

    Really cool Andy! I'm thankful that as you shared in a recent video, different manufacturers like Academy (in this case) and Tamiya with their new Korean War M4A3E8 are seeing the value in sharing early samples of new kits with you. It really helps me as a modeler make more informed decisions of which kits I will be willing to spend my limited budget for new Armor kits on. Keep up the great work Andy!

  • @andrewluchsinger
    @andrewluchsinger Před 6 lety +1

    With all those extra pieces that the model has, I would be keeping those off to the side for possible "After Market" accessories. That gave me some very good ideas for some future projects. I save just about every extra piece from many of the models I have built in the past and have used them on other models. This particular model is a gold mine of parts to use.

    I really like the look of those zimmerit decals, I hope Academy will be selling them on their own so you can buy them and put on any Pz IV kit of your choise. I recently got the Zvezda Pz IV Ausf. H kit and it has zimmerit moulded directly on the parts, but not on all the parts it needs.

    I’m really looking forward to trying this one out. You did a marvelous job once again, just looks fantastic! That said, I know now from experience that if ever you are mildly annoyed at some area of design or if something is a bit tough for you, I’m really gonna have issues. I think the decals are unique, and they look awesome when applied correctly, buy I imagine I’m gonna be cussing them out like crazy. Can’t wait!

    There is a solution to gluing the track, just prime the track at the join with Deluxe Products "tricky Stick". Then superglue grips perfectly. I have tried this with early impossible to glue Tamiya vinyl tracks and it works 100%.

  • @jurgen6768
    @jurgen6768 Před 4 lety

    Only the later Pz.IV ausf.H had zimmerit applied. The earlier H models did not i.e. Fruhe versions. Some Panzer units were using earlier H models during the Normandie campaign that did not have any zimmerit. Other than that this model which I recently built for a competition is very good in detail and I found the zimmerit to be just fine in it's application. Keep up the good work Andy.

  • @ashhillmodels3801
    @ashhillmodels3801 Před 6 lety +1

    Nice build as always andy. Since i am not really keen about zimmerit, as it has been proven useless in Ww2 and the pin marks and minor things you mentioned, i still would stick with the tamyia kit. Plus the tracks did glue together on it as well

    @FoxtrotWhiskey3 Před 6 lety

    I will definetly wait for this kit over the current Tamiya kit. I am not firm in Zimmerit and I do not want to use those aftermarket stickers. Its a shame that almost no company adds some sort of Zimmerit decals to the kits. Thanks for showing this kit, Andy!
    Btw, it was your videos that got me back into model building after I moved out from my parents home about 9 years ago... Thank you for letting me enjoy this hobby again. Keep up the good work!

    • @steelscooter

    • @FoxtrotWhiskey3
      @FoxtrotWhiskey3 Před 6 lety +1

      I have build a couple of Dragon kits already, however it is always luck to get good ones. Some are horrible and others are really nice. What turns me off from those kits is this unstable quality for the very high price. Also in Germany there is not much choice for Dragon kits. I love Tamiya and Trumpeter kits most, however these rarely have any Zimmerit included and Tamiya sometimes not even PE parts for grills, etc. Such a shame... Tamiya kits would be superb if they just put in some PE parts and Zimmerit decals.

    hi Andy, with the rubber band tracks, my local hobbystore guy Matt, recommended using a product called ZAP. Its a brush on super glue, Medium CA +. It's a great brush on superglue for your rubber band tracks.

  • @chrischampion9018

    @ApriliaRSV4F Před 5 lety

    I am in the process of building this. If I was to build it again, which is likely, I think I would apply the zimmerit decals early in the build. Some peices I would even apply before assembly. Also found that there was no instruction about drilling the mounting hose for the plate brackets. Overall it was an enjoyable build. I just wish Trumpeter made better instructions and in a book format.

  • @tomwalker649
    @tomwalker649 Před 6 lety +2

    Andy if you or anyone else gets that problem [with the tracks] it's almost always the release agent used on the mould. give em a good scrub with clean soapy water, let them dry and it _should_ be fine. The reason is a new generation of release agents used across a broad range of industries that a whole lot of industry peons (like me) are struggling to work with. if soapy water doesn't work try rubbing alcohol.

    • @darronhedges5873
      @darronhedges5873 Před 6 lety

      If approahed today i wonder if rubber bands would even be considered for recreating individual tracks linked together.Now they are too lazy to change.PE for authentic detail and rubber bands that look shit.You need an almanac to know what brand can take paint weathering,what glue,spoon heating,stapling,wiring......before they could kill a good kit,Now at least choic$$$$e has finally reared its. ugly head in aftermarket options.

    @williamsquires3070 Před 5 lety

    I second that; I’ve never had good luck with the rubberized tracks - they’re always one or two links short of a full tank, and gluing them works no better. 😢

    • @jordyncollier919
      @jordyncollier919 Před 4 lety

      They are rubber, so what happens is they shrink a bit over time. What you are supposed to do is heat up a pair of pliers and melt the two ends of the tracks together, then stretch them over the wheels.
