Here is my review of the new Tauchpanzer III H from Dragon. It has a lot of similarities with all of the past Dragon Panzer III kits, so it's going to be pretty solid off the bat. The Tauchpanzer additions feel a little esoteric but make it an interesting subject. I still don't care for DS tracks being in a Panzer III kit though.
Thanks to Dragon USA for the review sample.

My IN-box review of Dragon's Premium Panther A. This kit comes with lots of upgrades from the old 2002 version including updated suspension, magic tracks and a metal barrel. Also there is a ton of PE.

Here is my review of the Bronco Panzer III A for Armorama. Looks encouraging so far. Slightly less over-engineered than the 35(t) kits they put out recently.

This is part 2 in a 2 part series of building Wittmann's 1331 from the battle of Kursk. I used Cyber-Hobby 9142 (slightly modified) and AFV Club workable tracks. This is a buddy build with my good friend Shane Smyth on Kursk Tigers.
I can't exactly say this phase went exactly to plan, but I am very happy with the result. You'll notice that this is more of a documentary of a build than a tutorial. I make some mistakes and do my best to cope with them. The most notable of these is the issues I had with airbrushing, which were solved during filming. Not soon enough to prevent some areas from having a less than perfect finish though.
I tried new products and techniques here, and I think it's the best build I've done so far, so I am super pleased to be able to share it with everyone on YouTube. If you have any questions about something that wasn't shown clearly enough please feel free to shoot me a message or leave a comment. I am not a professional builder by any stretch, but I am always happy to share what I have learned.
I have to mention I've noticed a few background music transitions I'd like to fix but won't, and also the music is just a bit too loud for like a minute or two at one point. But I need this project to be behind me, so I'm going to just deal with this as it is and move on to new videos. This one took a lot out of me.
I explain the process and products I used from Primer to finish.

Long story short, I did not like this kit at all. It required too much modification and the tracks are the wrong type for the kit. Save your money and buy an old Dragon Panzer III from ebay.

This is my review of the 2004 Dragon 251 Drilling kit in 1/35. In the tradition of the Dragon 251's there is a lot in the box.

Here is my review of the new Rye Field Model Tiger I with Interior. I'm looking forward to seeing how this stacks up against the old Academy kit, from the look of it well. Some of the errors from the DAK kit have been corrected, and some all new ones are here.

I recently hit 7000 subscribers so I thought I'd give everyone a tour of the new model room I set up as well.
