This video is my longest video I have ever done because I wanted to show every step of the process but the other videos won't be as long. Hope you enjoy 👍

Nice work on the video. I'm just starting my third one of these. I'm now building the chassis and tank separately, and painting them afterwards (I've an airbrush, which makes life much simpler). The final assembly is then just sticking the tank to the chassis, and adding the "catwalk" and the ladders before doing one final paint run. I think you got that last brake line wrong, the part to the left (as you show it on the video) is supposed to go on the other side of that attachment point on the chassis. (the instructions are pretty poor, I agree). For weights, I'm adding 4 or 5 pennies to the tank which seems to give it a nice feel.

That was awesome man. Reminded me when I did that kit build caboose I did a couple months back, and I absolutely loved it. I’d love to do it again. I have a lot build Titanic that I’ve been wanting to get into for ages. Lol. Maybe I might start on that soon. 😂

Younever ever paint straight onto the plastic thre best way is build the model first then use a spray primer then to make thing's easy use a mat black spray for a good results, 😊
