Finishing your first model Tank! Tamiya 1/35 Panzer II F, Full Build, Part 2 Basic Armour Modelling

thanks for your very helpful modeling tips.

Very helpfull and informative thank you

did you matt varnish model after oil weathering?

Great job, magnificent kit.

I've never built armour before but I won a Leopard Tank kit in a raffle and want to do it justice. Doing my homework before I start. Thanks for your excellent tips and ideas.

Thank you very helpful didn’t know that you could do so much with oils

So many good advices. Thank you. Jeep doping good stuff likes this video.

Thanks for the video, very instructive and to the point, many vital points explained clearly.

Is there any tank models from any brand that doesnt need to be painted or is every model have to be painted?
I just dont have enough time in the school year to paint anything

Absolutely fantastic I'm totally hooked and been out today and brought this very model, and hope to follow the steps and progress into the hobby. Many Thanks

Brilliant, I am just about to start my model journey, bit nervous to be honest. I really loved how well the sand look came out, I couldn't see it at first whilst you were painting, but it looked fantastic.

You know I'm getting back into modelling after 30 plus years... I'm fast tracking to get back to top end style modelling. After watching this video it reminded me that building a model is about quiet time, enjoying yourself and de-stressing, ( maybe with a special beverage along for the ride). Whatever your goal remember to enjoy yourself relax and switch off from the world. Paint a Panzer pink with yellow poker dots for all I care, but remember to enjoy yourself.....Great video..👍

Faltó agregar desgaste . Polvo Uso en las condiciones donde se libró las batallas, para aumentar su realismo… saludos!! 🍀

Fantastic help, Thank you.

I'm new to armor modeling. Your videos are a great on construction and weathering. And your info on armor modeling wearing and building are the greatest I've seen.

Keep the series going. Just got back into modeling after about a 25-year break. Full of great tips, the only problem is my eyesight is not as good as it was 25 years ago. 😅

Really enjoyed watching and learning these techniques. I'm new to scale modelling and have been struggling to get my models looking realistic. Thanks

Thank you for this nice, easy to follow video. I’m using it, and the 1st, as a reference for my first armor build. I’m very happy with the way things are turning out! I like your approach to balancing detail. Yes, I want to be proud of my first model, but I’m also not in a competition scenario. I look forward to finishing the series, building each model along with you.

Just completed this tutorial and was very pleased with my first effort. Thank you for such detailed guidance.. it’s inspired me to invest in a few armour kits and diversify from aircraft

If that is basic, I am beyond basic!

is the decals with xf-22 thinner method because you used that to thin your paint? e.g. if one thins with Mr. Leveler, would xf22 worm or should MrL be used?

Another great video, so glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing

What is the make and model of the primer you use in your models?

Good job showing the easy and less expensive way of building a model that looks great. Thanks

Excellent 😊

I am having trouble finding low odour thinners, any suggestions for a substitute?

Tremendous! Thank you.

Just returned to scale modelling after a 20 year gap... your videos are fabulous. On your advice just started with Tamiya Acrylics as per this PzII ...OMG!!! they are so much better than Enamels... cheers mate😊

How do you clean your airbrush after you are done painting? Been scouring the internet for answers and heard 10,000 different methods

Do you paint the soldiers aswell?

This is the original color or straight out the box? I plan buying these models but painting purchase is last

Very good tutorial on weathering of a model. Some really good tips for the beginner or even intermediate modeler.

Very well done!

I'm more a neophyte in the armour area, but after having friends serve with armour divisions over the years I've taken a stronger fascination with more early period tanks and lighter personnel carrier's, say from earlier times when it wasn't as ponderous a vehicle as these days. Enjoyed your rendition of this oft seen model, as opposed to the later, and far less frequently seen tiger, there being so few built because of it's advanced design, and the cost of even building many due to their complexity. My gratitude for your personal attention paid this staple of the Nazi Forces in both North Africa, and the Eastern Front during Barbarossa against the Soviet Red Army.

This beginner series is very helpful to me!

Just bought three of these to practice on.

I have just gotten back into modeling after quite a few years. Things today are so much different. You helped me to understand a lot of things I need to know. Thanks for the video

日本人のプラモデル好きは、必ず一度は作ったことのある戦車です。アフリカ軍団のフィギュアが付いていて、小学生の時、見よう見まねでジオラマを作りました。とても懐かしいです。

Hi I've come back to modelling after a 20y break. What colour did you use fr the exhaust silencer? cheers Mark

2 Balkan Cross decals on the same side of the hull . Never seen this in any photos

Too bad I can't afford an airbrush. Brush painting tanks always leaves an obvious texture, even when the paints are thinned. Also makes doing gloss coats really hard

Very useful, motivating and entertaining. Kudos and thanks.

Would the Panzer II be painted Tropen 1 or Tropen 2 in North Africa campaign?

Awesome tutorial. Only thing I'd say is that the teeth of the drive sprocket would be a little more lived-in

I'm new to all of this! It's both fascinating and frightening, but you make it look doable. Thank you for your running dialogue and voice over explanation. That's really helpful to me. Best wishes.... Ax

Just ordered 2 of these kits, one will be dak, the other german grey. Cant wait!

I'm new to this and your videos are very helpful. Building on basic techniques without overloading on info and as of yet unnecessary effects like rusting and chipping. All tanks, planes, and other equipment was new or slightly used at one time.

Very new to this. Your instructional videos are really helping - well done and thank you !

@Champion Scale Modelling, what colors did you use to paint the exhaust?

Thanks for your help with your video, my wife has thrown me in at the deep end, she was struggling on what to get for my birthday last month, she had remembered that I used to do Airfix models when I was younger, a lot younger, so she bought me a Airfix king tiger, I am still looking at the instructions and scratching my head, so if there’s a king tiger video out there It would be very appreciated, if I could get it looking half as good as yours I would be happy, 👍👍.
