- For my next project I choose Takoms brand new Tiger I from the german Commander Otto Carius. This kit was just released and offers a brand new tool with fine details and nice accessories.

On my channel you can find many videos all about scale modelling. Kit reviews, tutorials and complete builds. I am building models mostly in 1/35 and 1/72 scale but I am planning some 1/700 and 1/48 models aswell. I enjoy building tanks, planes, ships, boats and other vehicles of all eras between world war 1 and modern times. I am building kits made from Tamiya, Revell, Italeri, Trumpeter, Hobby Boss, Meng, Takom and many more.

Great video, I am in the middle of building one of the other once, and have had the same issues :-), missing instruction on the grill and the also had to cut the fuel tank top away. Nice to see that I am not the only one with the issues. Great watching, keep it up.
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!
As this builder states, one of the periscopes in the commander's cupola should point straight ahead. It's a very simple fix to clip off the locater tab and install properly. I only repeat this because it's only an issue with the Early and Mid, the Late does not have this problem. One other mention, is that the radiators and cooling fans should be attached to the underside of the upper deck instead of going into the lower hull. It's very difficult to get them in at the right angle so the upper deck sits down all the way. If you attach them to the upper deck instead, the alignment sorts itself out better.
I agree. The step with the radiators was a really weird choice from takom. I heard other people had similar problems with that step.
Your explanation was very well done!👍
Thank you!
Very clean build! Thanks for the, things to watch out for,.
Thanks!
Bro is using Night Shift music, but that's not a problem! Nice build man. Keep it up!
Thank you! I know Quincas Moreira just makes really chill BGM
Just found your channel. Top vid/build. Great explanation of the track build part. Is the track jig you use commercially available?
Thank you so much. The big jig is from the online store fantasywelt. But im sure you can find it at different places too
The armoured covers on the exhaust are in the video upside down. When you put the shroud over them the will not fit. The lifting pegs should be lower. When you turn them around it will be ok. Intresting and great video.
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.
At 20:25 you tell us to keep the two small notches at the sides.
Why is that? On the real tank, that is a locking ring, so it can be tightened up to any angle you like.
Does the kit require the notches to be in a specific place?
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 :)
Hai...1 question...can put mg34 on cupola ?...
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
Turret commader's visors are wrong way around. One should be pointing straight forward.
Yes. Like i said its a design error by Takom that I would have fixed if i knew earlier.
