Tamiya M551 Sheridan Build videos

[Son of a gun-ner]

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

Thanks guys.

there is a mix of PS and ABS in just about every kit, I can double check the sprues to see whats what.

Thanks for the Video posting tip Mr. gun-ner! much appreciated.

Question.
Is the plastic ABS. Can regular plastic cement be used or super glue. I had hell on my leopard keeping parts glued together.

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.

Pitstain: Thanks for the videos, very interesting.

thx for the tip...

OK so this thing is about 100% PS, only ABS i see so far is the speaker box and the turret rotation gearbox, Build Video part 3 is uploading currently.

Part 3 is live! Video quality will improve to 1080p once YouTube finished processing.

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!

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.

Thanks for watching!

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.
