Good Morning,
Great video. Don't worry about boring us with the repetitive steps, Steve. You handled that very nicely with the video cutaway to the completed step after showing us initially how the parts went together. Thank you again.
regards,

I cant keep myself away from this awesome kit. Here is my third installment in my JS-2 build series. Awesome parts installed like the torsion bars and transmission units

Good Morning,
A quick question? Did Tamiya really call for lock-tite on the screws holding the track tension adjuster in place? Some sort of removable lock-tite I failed to hear you mention earlier on was used, perhaps? Please keep up the videos, they provide an in depth look at the build of this tank. Thank you for showing close ups of the parts. It really does look as if Tamiya has beefed up their molds and castings. The quality of the pieces used is very obvious.
regards,

Hey Guys,

Here is my fifth video in the Tamiya JS-2 build series, in this video I decided to cut of the small front fenders to simulate some damage during battle, plus I think it looks much better without them
