Great work, master with the airbrush, I've had a bunch, but never got that good with it? Thanks for showing an old fart-new techniques.
Great job, I could only watch this with envy, I have almost finished building this and it has given me nothing but agro. A complete drama, unusual for Tamiya, first one that almost got shelved.If the Handlebars don't go on it's going in a diarama where a Tiger reverses over it. But the figures are out of this world, a pure joy, got my money's worth with them alone
Excellent work on the kit and figures. As a noob to painting the 1/35 figures, the close-up detail work is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome Back, James!!! Mixing MRP and AKRC? You mad scientist you! Brilliant!
Thanks guys ! Keep up the great work on the pod
Very nice James! I've been extremely busy with the Hood model and this is the first chance I've had to watch anything. The figures we're especially well done. Cheers!
Stunning work, James! The kit looks like a winner and you've done a stellar job on the Kettenkrad and the three figures. As always, a terrific watch. I look forward to seeing the results of your next project on your new camera!
Great video with very easy to understand commentary. Very helpful when you described the glue you like, and tools and paints that you were using. That is very helpful to novices like me. If I could get my figures to look half as good as yours.... I'll keep working on it. Thanks!!!
Stunning paintwork on both Kettenkrad and the figures, congratulations on a job well done!
Cheers mate 🍻
Ahhh, the infamous "Sonderkraftfahrzeug 2 / Kleines Kettenkraftrad Typ HK 101". Exzellent!
It's a wicked vehicle !
Nice work James, I love Tamiya's engineering, this kit is a nice upgrade to the older one.
Great job on this, the detailing work is stunning!
I love that they included the bending jig for the PE bits. I hate when kits supply PE and its got a curve and such and its like well i guess I'll just hope it doesn't come out garbage
Fantastic work on such a small 35th scale kit! The new tooling looks awesome and responds well to detail painting. Been ages since I saw a Tamiya figure come in multiple halves but the end result looks great. Thanks for sharing This with us…..maybe a diorama is in the works for this vignette?
Thanks Andy, I was considering a vignette, but I spent so long on the project I ended up burning out pretty bad, so nothing planned at the moment
Wow the figure molds are really cool!! 😮 Such a genius solution I can believe no one else thought of this before.
Thanks Sad Panda, funnily I saw some sprue shots from a new miniart set with more traditional alignment pins yesterday
Welcome back and what a cracking little model to show us. Nicely built and weathered as always. I wish I could do the figure painting half as good as you. Looking forward to the next vids with your updated equipment. Stay safe friend.
Thanks mate ! I have a few teething troubles to iron out but it seems promising.. shame youtube will compress the video to death though 😅
It's very nice work. Especially, painting and weathering are very politely and so realistic. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Panzer -meister 🙏
Most beautiful job, painting and weathering! 👍👍😍
I was thinking about getting that kit, now im sure i'll get that kit, amazing work you did
Thanks to the Plastic Posse Podcast, now I have found your CZcams-channel! I really like your style, both in modeling and videocasting. I am very interested how you use those artist paints,varnishes, fixatives, pigments and lacquers from the Art&Crafts store, and how you can make your own custom stuff.
Maybe you can make little video how you use them. Super interesting!
Thx! Excellent review and tips of how to build and paint your model.
Good painting and weathering, quite realistic.
Thankyou José
Hi 'cousin'! :) Learned about your channel through the Plastic Posse Podcast. I'm more of a wargaming-modeller, but now seriously contemplating trying my had at scale modelling for display purposes. This was enormously helpful and a terrific video.
Another stunning vid, JC. 😯👌
Your talent is immense. 🙌
Kudos to you. ✌😎
Once again brilliant work James!
Thanks Peter 😀
Tamiya, nothing but the best ! Worth every penny !
awesome work mate, also really enjoyed your episode with the posse!
Great build James. Would love to see some more aircraft from you soon.
Thanks Robert, something planey is on the way
Awesome video!!!! Have not built this particular kit as of yet, but plan to. I have built the "ancient" Tamiya kit of this vehicle from the 1970s - think it was an OK kit for the time. Know that a few other manufacturer's have released their versions of this vehicle, but will stick with Tamiya for the simplicity.
Cracking work on the figures. A very nice grouping
Thanks Steve
Figures faces look fantastic mate, the whole build does I always enjoy watching your vids
Thanks Charlie I appreciate it !
Great Job James 👍 this kit is on my list.🇨🇦
Thanks Stefan !
Sorry James I'm at work (as usual) but will watch it over the weekend.
Hope you are both well.
Best wishes, Mark
No dramas Mark ! I know the score. All good here thanks, hopefully alls good on your end too 😀
James , the waiting time worth it !!! Good Job man !!!
Thanks Joaquim, I was a bit concerned that people would have lost interest but it seems not ( luckily ) glad you like it
Excellent work James. With the advent of 1/35 aircraft it would be cool to see this with a tow bar and Luftwaffe crew.
It would be mad for them not to, but you never know with tamiya 😄
Hi James fantastic build mate and lovely finish to not only the Kittenkraftrad but also the figures too. Tamiya seem to raise the bar with each kit they produce. I remember building the Kitten when it was first released by Tamiya way back in the 1970's at the time it was released with a cast white-metal engine. Well done James.
Thanks Gaz, didn't know the old one had a metal engine that's cool !
Can’t wait to watch, it looks like a nice kit, looks like a beautiful kit or is it just like that because you did such a good job
Welcome back James nice video and looking forward to seeing lots more from you nice work 👍👍
Cheers John, I have a bit more motivation now which is good !
Great stuff as always James
Thanks Darson100 👍
Figures came out amazing, my friend! Well done 🍺
Thanks ! The figures are surprisingly the thing that was holding the project from being completed. Glad they came out good tho !
Before coming here I watched videos on the Zoukei Mura and Das Werk Kettenkrads. This Tamiya kit appears to knock the spots off the other two. (Especially the Das Werk - where panel fit was dire.)
Anyway, back to the plot... Lovely job sir, enjoyed your build, thanks for sharing it with us, oh and nice mud.
Lovely result, James 👍
Much appreciated my friend 🙏
Excellent job.
Outstanding work as always buddy, can't fault a thing👍😉😁
I picked 2 of them up through the week there one to go in a diorama with RFMs new stug 3 full interior and a miniart Gantry set was thinking if having it pull a track back under the stug while up on a jack maybe get it like sunken into the mud abit popping a wheelie haha its a lovely wee kit really impressed with the track's
Nice work!!
Thanks mate! hope alls well
Lovely finish as usual 😉
Thanks Basil 😊
This looks good all ready
Cheers Ben !
Very nice work
Great looking model, you make it look so effortless. I was wondering if you've tried the "pencil trick" to accent ware on metallic surfaces and edges, like on the tracks or where ware can be seen on metallic surfaces. What are your thoughts?
Another excellent video James. Looking forward to seeing what the new camera can do. Interested to hear what benefits you think the VMS cement has over the tamiya extra thin.
Thanks Bruce, with the vms fast setting it seem to be quicker to dry than extra thin, but a but slower than the extra thin quick setting. Adhesion wise it cures quickly and is durable. Very similar to extra thin, just a teensy bit quicker.
Thanks for sharing , i was contemplating purchasing this kit. You have convinced me to but im sure mine will be no where the workmanship of yours . ✌🇨🇦✌
Nice work!!! 👍👍👍👍
Cheers mate !
Excellent build and paint James. I recently bought this kit and am thinking of a suitable dio to go with it. Chicken and the egg. What to do first ? lol.
By the way Vallejo do a really good paint for rubber tyres and track pads. Vallejo 70.306 Panzer Aces Dark Rubber.
As always, stellar work, James. Your Camouflage and figure painting is brilliant as well as the quality of your videos. One thing I've noticed about the photographs of Kettenkraftrads I have seen, they never seem to display any markings. Is there any explanation for this?
Keep up the good work. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦.
0:15 Realeased “Earlier this year” is meaningless. Otherwise, the build and video is brilliant. Bloody brilliant!
Welcome back. Love your vids, very inspirational.
A question - I note you always seem to have a lot of paint in your airbrush cup, it looks more than your likely to need for the job your doing? What do you do with it when you've finished?
Thanks 😊
Thanks Bob, quite often I burn through the lot, it's not very often I have to empty the cup. When I'm mixing colours in pots though there is some wastage. If I have empty paint pots I'll recant them but often I'll loose the mix.
Such amazing work. Love the figures! Do you use a top coat/seal ?
Fantasic build dude! I got one if these to do from Das Werk(dragon rebox) the kit figures are fantastic! Always find Tamiyas box figure really naff but the after market ones are really good 1st time i think I’ve seen having good figures with the kit! Also great job on the figures
Cheers mate, Tamiya have started rereleasing their old figures to be updated. They finally listened and are putting out some really nice ones. Good to see a company take the initiative
That is absolutely phenomenal work! Looks like I’m going to have to get one of these!
Did you ever figure out the issue with the airbrush and the brown? It looks like you had to keep moving the trigger to keep the paint flowing. Something I have issues with sometimes…
Thanks!
I think its the nature of the brown pigment. I have had trouble with all of my fine nozzle needle combos and many brands of red brown ( 0.2 and smaller).
A fun fact, some pigments cannot be ground finer because it drastically effects the opacity of the paint to a point it may be rendered useless.
That's why some paints are just coarser (microscopically) than others.
A true artist 😎
I like it all James well done marra . Regards Gav.
Thanks Gav 😄
Excellent 👌
Cheers Steve !
Muito bom trabalho. Parabéns.
Very nice. Congratulations. Here Brazil.
Beautiful build, what brushes do you use for figure painting?
Shot in the dark here... I've built and painted the kit and painted up the figures. I'm happy with the results BUT... I didn't attach the right arm correctly on the driver. The figure's hand is about 3 mm above the handle bar grip. I figure I have 2 options. Saw off the arm as close to shoulder as possible, re-position and try to blend the seam with milliput. I've never done this so am fairly certain results would be garbage. Option 2 would be applying heat in some way.. boiling water but I'm betting this'll melt off the acrylic paint or a candle flame which I did set up to try but didn't go through with it because even if I don't manage to melt something or bubble the paint, the results would look odd and disconnected from the shoulder. Any tips out there? Magic buttons? Time machine? Thanks for any ideas or sympathy.
Great result. Can I ask, what size needle(s) are you using? Presumably a larger one for the primer? I have the same airbrush - 0.15 and 0.4mm needles.
Thanks Ian, 0.15 for everything for me !
very nice.
hey i remember you being a fan of VMS products. A store in my country will be stocking it soon. How do you find VMS varnish compared to other brands (i watched a vms produced video on their varnishes and they stated to apply it wet so it doesn't dry while still applying it to the model, also that it doesn't require thinning and it can be sprayed on thick)? Also any thoughts on VMS thinners, slow-mo retarder? Thank you for the reply when you get a moment or chance.
Hi mate, I would be lost without my VMS stuff now, the varnishes are next level, I dont spray them really thick though just wet coats, I havent used the gloss so can't comment on that but the matt and satin are very nice indeed. I use a lot of their other products as well and I get the impression they are well thought out and tested properly before release. Definately worth trying
hello, great jpb! which brush you use for details of figures please?
Thanks ! Artis opus series s 2/0
how you liking the 3rd gen paints?
What colours did you use for ammo box ?
do you find the AK 3rd gen paints more matt than Vallejo Model? Also do you even find Vallejo Model paints to be matt or satin?
Thank mate. 3rd gen seem pretty matt out of the gate, regular vallejo varies on how thick you paint it I think but tends towards satin a bit
Great interview with the ppp. What app do you use to edit your videos on your mobile.
Thanks Mark, power director Pro and I pay for premium.
WOW!!!
ught! I want a cool northern Wales accent to!
Do you know if this was used as a tow for the me262 jet .
It appears so

honestly....the phone does absolutly fine mate.
Wow Sher gut!!! 🤗 😉
Hi Brilliant video what airbrush are you using?
Cheers, h&s infinity CR 0.15
@@lpjmodels thank you dude it looks good. I’m looking to upgrade my iwata neo
Hi. Very nice.
i have a diorama idea a tiger 1 slanting in a river with the kettenkraftrad going next to the tiger 1 on a dirt road
I have that model. actually I three models of the krad. I can't understand why everyone uses that liquid cement I've tried and it has been mostly useless for me. I use a more reliable gel glue.
Nice that I've got 1/9 scale of it still to build yet and warriors 200mm SS officer for Italy 1945
❤❤❤
Good afternoon Can you tell me the length of the assembled model, excluding the trolley. Thank you!
About 8.6 cm !
Thanks!!!@@lpjmodels
Anyone remember when Tamiya made this model with a actual metal engine?
Don't know why but they did.
I built this as a young lad. If I remember correctly the engine was metal. No photo etch. Most likely wrong but I loved this one.
Would this work well with Warhammer figures
Dark brown paints are always a bear to spray
私的には,やはりタミヤ！特に35分の1ですよ！
3:33 someone has the music please?
List of tracks at the end u less this is a spam link
@@lpjmodels I'm sorry! I stopped the video when you finished. That was great.
@@kingmori1 thanks a lot ! 😀
👁👁
Awesome event! Thanks for sharing your build and techniques. Here's some original wartime footage of the Kettenkrad: czcams.com/video/Qh0IGWSwzIY/video.html
Thanks mate. That's some great footage
Im doing the same kit right now. I dont think the kit is 100% new tool as there is fit problems athleast on my version of the kit. I had to do filling and stuff like that witch I hate.
There is an old version from the 70s and this one that was released within the last year
@@lpjmodels I know and I belived they used some of the same parts.
@@statoilbensin2190
I took a close look here
czcams.com/video/11_HnmsszLM/video.html
And while some of the parts breakdown amd assembly is similar there are too many differences in surface detail, the two side Hull panels and construction are similar but fit together slightly differently. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one I'm afraid. 100% new tooling.
@@lpjmodels well I only had wery small problems witch was easy to fix using putty. Maybe it was just me.
MODEL VERY GOOD SO IS PAINTING OF FIGS SKIN TONE OFF ANYONE OUT SIDE HAS DEEPER TONE CONSTRUCTION WORKER FARMERS SOLDIER S 😉.
I misses the licence plate.....
So did the decal designers.
@@lpjmodels Ok, but after all it's a German vehicle, you know... ^^ Great video btw.
"filled wiff superglue and sanded smoove" sorry, English not my first language, what are you meaning by wiff and smoove please?
Ahh, a wiff is the smell or aroma you get when walking past a neigbors barbecue, and smoove is how I am when approaching your mum at the bar.
@@lpjmodels Ah. Smooth?
I'm like 90% sure that's not how you spell smooth and whiff @AR Cherry
The plastic what podcast...thought you said ****y. Not sure if I wanted to watch.
Is it really necessary to constantly promote your supplier of glue?
It starts to feel like a product placement video.
If I didn't state what I was using I'd be spending a lot of time in the comments answering questions lol
