Join me as I set off on another epic tank build. This time the incredible 1/6 scale Hetzer or Jagdpanzer 38 tank by Armortek.
In this video - I start the install and assembly of the upper hull section and build up the details on the main Glacis plate including the Gun mount and slew mechanism.
Hope you enjoy

Just finished the video. What a major update on the build! Tony, again a very enjoyable video to watch! Thank you so much for doing this build! Cannot wait to see more!
Thank you. thanks also for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated.
Great work Tony love this little tank
Thanks Stephen, much appreciated...I too have grown very fond of this amazing little beast.
Hi Tony. (11:30) Watching Tony skillfully turn the screwdriver with his left hand, I think it's good because it increases work efficiency and stimulates the right side of the brain! I am doing that too. I had a great time this time watching Hetzer's features. I'm really looking forward to the next time. ハイ トニー。（11：30）トニーが左手でドライバーを上手に回しているのを見て、作業効率が上がるのと右脳に良い刺激があるので良いと思います！私もそうしています。 今回は長い時間、Hetzerの特徴を観れて楽しい時間を過ごしました。 次回も大変楽しみにしています。
こんにちは。またこのような前向きなコメントをいただきありがとうございます。この戦車の開発に投入されたデザインとエンジニアリングへの敬意が高まるとともに、私はこの素晴らしいキットに非常に愛着を持っています。今後とも変わらぬご支援を賜りますよう、よろしくお願い申し上げます。よろしく...トニー Hi and thank you again for such positive comments. I am growing very attached to this amazing kit with growing respect for the design & engineering that went into the development of this tank. Thank you for you continued support, it is greatly appreciated. Best Regards...Tony
Love seeing your progress week by week, and really looking forward to seeing the final result.
Thank you. Although it is really starting to take shape, still got a long way to go on this.... Really appreciate your continued support, thank you.
Nicely done Tony, great progress... I'm quite surprised Armortek doesn't team up with Armorpax and pool their efforts into making the tanks 'The Best' out of the box
Good morning Martin. Thank you. Yes..it is coming along nicely....still a way to go on this great little kit. I like your thinking although, Armorpax and Armortek do work together and they supply things like the 1/6 scale tools, jack etc on these kits. I guess the upgrades are there to give the builder the choice or not. The parts that Armortek supply are more than adequate to complete the job, but those little upgrades provide us the choice on how we want to finish the model.
Big fan of instructions think they should have amendments in for AM parts.Nice to see the sides on the bathtub hull ,not a fan of superglueing metal parts . Looking very nice.
Thanks Steve, much appreciated. It is starting to come together nicely.
I just arrived home from work, got myself an adult beverage, and I'm going to watch your video. Nice way to relax 😊 So I've just finished watching the video, and it's looking amazing! This was obviously relatively speaking, a very small piece of armor. I can't even begin to imagine how the crew operated in such a confined space. Thanks again for sharing your build with all of us. I'm looking forward as always to the next installment. Cheers!
Thanks Michael. What a great comment. A crew of three working in close proximity in what essentially was a light armoured ambush tank, would have been a high octane place to operate. Working on the roof section next video and there are more doors on hatches on this than the Tower of London😂
Tony: I enjoyed this installment as you mounted the sides, did the front plate and test fit the top. When you are not under time constraint and can take your time, things go easier. Appreciate all the side comments on how it goes together. I just pulled my 1:4 KT out and charging up its batteries and making sure everything is in working order, before i run it out in the yard. I am about to start my 1:4 all metal Tiger 1 build. Machining the entire mantlet, and barrel assembly, including a breech with hydraulic recoil system. Another tank builder in Italy is helping me in the design process so I can feed the CNC Mill to make each part. You are an inspiration, keep it up.
Wow Bill, 1:4 scale......wow, wow & wow....Thank you for such amazing comment. The respect is mutual, I can assure you. Would love to see your Tiger 1..Are you going to upload on your channel?
Tony: I don't have a channel as I am more machinist gunsmith and build the RC tanks as a hobby, to see if I can do it and make it work. My big issue is finding blueprints to go off from to make my parts. Would love to find actual prints and then downsize them with the right screws, nuts, bolts. I am going to build a full breech for this one. @@tonys_workshop
Hi Bill, you have my full respect...amazing skills you have there sir.
👁👁 had a tea
Brilliant, thank you for continuing to watch and follow. Much appreciated.
Fantastic stuff Tony, it's amazing how the tanks suddenly take shape, it's going to look excellent.
Thanks Russ. They do suddenly transform. Working on the roof section next. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Tony, the German word for the pig´s snout is „Saukopfblende“. Would love to hear you say this one, hehe… 😉
I promise, when i get to this part, I will practice the correct pronunciation and give it a whirl.
Another great video, Tony. I love the camo scheme that you chose.
Thank you...yes getting there slowly. I took a while to arrive at this colour scheme and really looking forward to painting the main part of the tank...going to be a challenge as I have never done something like that on this scale.
A little fiddly perhaps Tony, but I do enjoy watching a small item take on its' identity as part of the whole. Enjoying the build mate, all the best to you and yours for Christmas.👍
Good morning Christopher...A little fiddly on this kit is an understatement😂, especially when you have sausage fingers like me, 😂 I agree entirely with you, those little things add up to really enhance the model. One more video up before Christmas, then back in 2024. Wishing you and yours a very restful and enjoyable Christmas.
Would u adopt me so I can play with your tanks
🤣 If you are in the UK, you could visit my Tank zone and drive these when I get it complete next year...watch this space & my channel for updates early next year.
