READ THE PINNED COMMENT FOR FULL VIDEO DESCRIPTION INCLUDING CHAPTER MARKERS
00:00 Hello my friends.
01:54 The German Hanomag Sd.kfz.251/1 half-track is in scale 1:35 and the figures are included.
02:02 Also, the box includes the manuals where as you can see, it is a fifteen steps model kit including the figures.
02:09 There are some other papers too, couple parts, sprue and miniature decals. A typical Tamiya model kit. Let's go.
02:30 Cutting the meter panel, water tank, wheel, etc and then will sandpaper to smooth them out.
02:45 Smoothing out the parts with the cutter and sandpaper. When needed, using the cutter carefully in the opposite direction to avoid cutting or damaging the parts.
03:05 Assembling and gluing the parts like so. The wheel I had already painted black.
03:24 ATTENTION! Keep always in mind that after gluing, painting, etc to let things dry.
03:41 Repeating the process with the floor, seats, etc.
04:38 Kept the shafts separated in groups because they are not all the same.
04:43 Assembling the shafts, without gluing them, like so.
04:59 Gluing the shaft support and the completed floor.
05:25 Off camera I prepared the front axle and the wheels.
05:29 Gluing the seats first.
05:46 Drive sprockets.
05:58 Testing how I will place the wheels.
06:11 This is how you do it.
06:15 Gluing the wheels.
07:00 Axle and hook gluing.
07:44 The upper part and the back doors I assembled and glued off camera.
07:53 Foremost part of the body.
08:07 The gaps I will fill with plastic putty.
08:17 Gluing the side fenders, shovel, hook, hammer, lamp, etc.
09:19 Tires.
09:35 Attaching the fenders even though the manual says to do the caterpillar tracks first. However, I would like to try it my way.
10:20 Placing the front & side windows as well as the rail for the machine gun and winker mirrors.
11:13 Off camera I placed the machine guns without gluing them.
11:20 Taking the machine guns away in order to paint the vehicle.
11:23 Vallejo's German Panzer Gray Surface Primer and airbrushing. Will do the caterpillar tracks too, off camera though.
11:57 Vallejo's Model Air German Gray and airbrushing.
12:11 Gloss varnish on the outside of the vehicle before placing the decals else they will color degrade over time. Off camera will do a second coating.
12:21 Mig's decal set before placing the decals and Mig's decal fix afterwards. The 1st prepares the surface and the 2nd takes care of any curves, bumps, etc.
12:37 Pressing with a cotton swab to take away the excess air or liquids below the decal without damaging it.
12:43 Repeating the process.
13:50 The decals are in place. Decal fix. Depending on the decals placement you may need to coat twice.
14:16 Mig's Acrylic Color Brush & Airbrush Rubber & Tires and painting the tires.
15:02 I painted the tools on the side fenders off camera.
15:21 These seats Tamiya doesn't propose what to paint them but I chose The Army Painter Warpaints Leather Brown and painting.
16:00 Mig's Acrylic Color Metal Silver and painting the lights and mirrors.
16:20 Gloss varnish the lights and mirrors.
16:31 Vallejo's Model Air German Gray mixed with some white and with a small sponge chipping away.
16:40 Remember to twist and turn the sponge around in order to not repeat the same pattern again and again.
18:24 Vallejo's Model Air Burnt Umber.
19:22 Mig's Acrylic Color Brush & Airbrush Medium Rust.
20:14 Mig's Acrylic Color Brush & Airbrush Old Rust. I want to tone down the previous Medium Rust because it is brighter than I was expecting it to be.
54:06 The Army Painter Quickshade Strong Tone which is basically a black and brown mix. Washing.
55:20 The figures are ready. Once again keep in mind that the highlights seem stronger on camera because of the studio lights and the helmet gloss is because of the decals. Everything is so much softer in reality.
55:33 I have attached their weapons and other objects. One of them will be the vehicle's machine gun operator.
