Re: Tamiya M551 Sheridan Build videos
Mr pitstain. I took the liberty of making your YouTube videos show up/stand out on the forum.
If you go to edit on the posting with a video, you will see what I did.
When you write a post, if you go top right of the writing panel and click on the "video" button, two sets of square brackets show up on the writing panel. Just put the YouTube address between them. And you can do that anywhere within your post to position it where you want

thx for the tip...Rad_Schuhart wrote:For ABS you should not use regular styrene glue and never ever super glue. You should use ABS glue, or some solvent based glue, even straight acetone from the bottle works, but never super glue.fury69 wrote:Question.
Is the plastic ABS. Can regular plastic cement be used or super glue. I had hell on my leopard keeping parts glued together.
Pitstain: Thanks for the videos, very interesting.

Re: Tamiya M551 Sheridan Build videos
I thought the same but if you look at the box art the tracks have the tapers pointing rearward, I will do some more research.Eastern Front wrote:Cool Part 3...
Its good you have to remove the tracks again to paint because they are on backwards Just kidding
Watching this---still..
Cheers!
Thanks for watching!

Re: Tamiya M551 Sheridan Build videos
Man I hoestly really was wondering if they were indeed backwards...LOL I checked a bunch of period photos and was relieved to find out my brain hasn't fizzled as much as I thought.
