I wouldn’t be surprised if someone from HengLong were to contact you about using your video. You make me want to follow your tips and take on a modern tank build after I finish the T26E3 and FAMO.

I'll say it again. Great work. You put into video format explaining the way I went about treating and weathering my first tanks. I watched a lot of armor modeling you tube vids to teach and guide me.

Thank you for taking your time and effort to do this for others. What a great way to promote the hobby to newcomers and others who haven't hopped the fence yet.

Maybe the video should have a warning that once you start, it becomes a snowball rolling down a steep slippery slope.

Thank you for another informative video. I’m very tempted to buy a basic Leopard and have a go at your methods.

You did a great job on this paint job . I am tackling this as a noob, and I was trying to do the headlight mod and messed up my headlights. I also tried to coat it clear flat, and it totally messed up the finish. I tried to do windows, and the acrylic I bought will not snap easily after scoring it. So I am using a dremel to shape every window. :D

I wish I could make this thing look as nice.

On a side note, I found out that mineral spirits will not destroy the plastic or the factory paint; however, acetone will.

Hi! The modern stuff is kinda rewarding, and you have less to break on it, if you know what I mean! 😂
I really want to work out the gun stabilisation stuff!
Sorry I’ve taken ages to get back.
