hello, everything looks amazing, I see that the construction is coming to an end, I'm looking forward to seeing the whole project finished, thanks for the video👌👍
Thanks Daniel. Looks are deceiving on this kit....Still a long way to go...The kit is smaller, but more work as the geometry on this is very challenging. Glad you are still watching and supporting, it is very much appreciated.
You opened it up and it maked 'pling' like a microwave... Made my morning. 😁
こんにちは。新年明けましておめでとうございます。あなたとあなたの家族が元気であることを願っています。ご視聴、コメントいただきありがとうございます。このモデルがガーデンに登場するまでには長い道のりがあります。このモデルは Tiger や M26 よりも小さいですが、構築には非常に多くの複雑な段階があり、各段階に到達するまでに時間がかかります。間違いを犯したくないので、ゆっくりと進めています。初めてこの趣味を始めたときは、難しすぎるのではないかと心配しましたが、一度始めると自信がつきます。後悔しないように、これらのいずれかを購入することに決めていただければ幸いです。 Hi and Happy New year to you. I hope you and your family are all well. Thank you for watching and commenting. I have a long way to go on this model before it is out in the Garden. Although this model is smaller than the Tiger and the M26, there are so many complex stages of the build, it is taking longer to get to each stage. I am progressing slowly on this as I do not want to make any mistakes. When I first got into this hobby I was worried that it may be too challenging, but once you get started your confidence grows. I hope you do decide to buy one of these as you will not regret it.
Sorry right reply to wrong person...Apologies.🫢.Thank you for your comment and glad I made your morning.
It's all in the detail as they say, lots of nice fiddly work there, your sausage appendages are working well... Having said that I now require a sausage & brown sauce bap! 😀
😂
Good start to the weekend! I'm going to watch the video right now, BRB. It never ceases to amaze me how small this tank was. Another great video. Thank you for sharing this build with us. I hope your holidays were awesome! As always, I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Good morning Michael, I am glad to be back in my workshop and thank you again for your continued support. Compared to the Tiger and the M26, this tank is a lot smaller, but it is more challenging to build because of the angles. This part was really frustrating and apologies for some poor filming...really difficult to work on both sides of the roof with a fixed camera position as sometimes part of the kit I am working on goes partially out of shot....I need to improve my filming techniques😀 Have a great weekend.
Hi, Tony. As you say, Armapax is a wonderful product. However, I haven't gotten it yet because I'm a shy person. If you see a video of it running in your garden, you might be motivated to buy it. I'm looking forward to the next video. ハイ、トニー。あなたの言う通りアーマパックスは素晴らしい商品ですね。しかし引っ込み思案の私はまだ手に入れていません。あなたの庭を走らせた動画を見たら 購入したいという動機がわく可能性があるかもしれません。次の動画を楽しみにしています。

Nice to C U again
Its nice to be back Mark, thank you for watching and commenting
Hi Tony great long video ,many tanks.still think personally that the tank needs beating up alittle ,so it doesn't look so factory fresh .
Morning Steve....Thank you...Hope all is well with you, I know and you are right, but it really pains me to think about doing that to something that takes so long to build and paint....I am still thinking about it as I have not done that so far and perhaps this is the tank I need to consider doing it to....Watch this space😀
Move the camera up a little bit
Hi Wayne, yes this part was really frustrating and apologies for some poor filming...really difficult to work on both sides of the roof with a fixed camera position as sometimes part of the kit I am working on goes partially out of shot....I will try and improve the filming going forward. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Goid job Tony, i am well into my tiger build. It goes soo slow. There is so much to consider, there is so much to paint, you are right,patience is a virtue on a project like this! Happy new year.
Hi David and Happy New year to you. Glad to hear that you are well into your build. Did you get a motorcycle jack to help elevate your tank? It really helps, especially when setting the angle on the torsion bars and installing the wheels. Patience, time and space are key on building one of these , but the results are so rewarding. Hope it continues to go well and if I can help at all, please do let me know.
Tony: Nice progress and you and I suffer from the same issue, large hands and fingers to hold on to those little nuts and bolts. Good job getting it done.
Thanks Bill, so you are also in the 'sausage finger' club😂 The angles on this tank are so restrictive I need the 'The Borrowers' to get into😂 A fiddly part of the job, but nothing compared to installing the Glacis plate...video up next week. Have a great weekend.
Tony, you may want to correct the gun sight direction. It is looking at the rear of the Hetzer, as can be seen easily by the depression of the lens. Happy new year to you, may many more Armortek builds follow this one! Yours, Thomas from Germany
Hi Thomas, Happy new Year to you. Thank you, I did realise that after filming and it is now facing the right way.
It's coming along well. I had all sorts of trouble with the exhaust pipe as the flexible tube kept buckling which is why I left it off on the end until I fit the smoker. Looking ahead I am curious if you have any alignment issues with the front bracket on the mudguard. Mine didn't line up at all and I needed to drill new holes so I want to see if you get the same or itr was just my hamfistedness. I have the Armorpax MG mount too but it didn't come with any instructions, how complicated was it to put togther? Final question, what battery(ies) are you planning to use?
Hi Daniel, great to hear from you. The tube must have been upgraded as this is made of tough material. I have had a nightmare aligning the entire top hull section. I get the sides aligned perfectly on the back and front but then this pushes the Glacis plate out. If I were to cut anything away the roof would not fit. So, in the end I opted to make sure the top of the Glacis plate and the sides aligned and the roof fits perfectly, however this leaves the bottom of the Glacis plate protruding by 2mm and a gap of the same. I will be mock welding this to close up the gaps. I have probably done something wrong, but for the life of me I could not see where...I just think the Geometry on this is very challenging and you have to compromise somewhere. With regards to front mudguards, I have had to notch out a small area to compensate for the poor alignment of the bottom of the Glacis plate and they fit fine now. I have only test fitted them as I think getting the track on with them in place would be difficult. Is this the case? Batteries: I am going with what Armortek recommend: Yuasa REC14-12 Cyclic VRLA Battery 12V 14Ah. What did you go for? The MG mount from Armorpax only came with basic instructions and I had to rack the old grey matter to work out how it all goes together...If it helps, I can take a picture of this and post it on my community section.
@@tonys_workshop I would appreciate the picture as I got nothing with mine. I haven't had the geometry issues with my hull so maybe I got lucky although as I am still fettling mine I haven't secured the roof. You can fit the mudguards and still get the tracks on/off, it's a tight fit over the sprocket but entirely doable. I opted for a single 24v LiPO4 battery for space/weight and battery life after dealing with my Mark IV which had terrible issues with battery life. While the up front cost is much much higher the results so far a very promising and if benefits from far higher cycle life and a much better discharge curve. I was able to run my Hetzer on all three days of Tankfest without recharging and still had 50% showing on the built in meter at the end.
Hi Daniel, I have posted some photos of the instructions I received on my Community post which I hope help. They are not the best, but entirely achievable once you lay everything out. I checked out that battery, wow...very expensive....I will think on that but thanks for the heads up. Thanks also for the note on the Mudguards...this gives me confidence to proceed ahead of installing the tracks.
Happy new year Tony, hope you had a good one and that did look a bit fiddly on the exhaust, I suppose its slightly harder as you're trying to film so possibly not always building at the easiest angle for you, the tank is looking cracking.
Happy New Year to you and your family Russ. Yes trying to film this part is tricky especially when working on both sides of the roof with a fixed camera position. The Geometry of this tank is also a challenge with all of its angles, but I love a challenge. Thanks again for watching, commenting and your continued support.
Hi, this Hetzer ends!
Apologies, I have no idea what you mean.
😎👍good work as always sir. Felt your pain when the roof slipped but lucky nothing broke . See 👀 y'all next week .
Thanks Steve....Such an awkward shape to work with. Got away with it😀 Have a great week.
Good to see you back on it Tony Bud Hopefully you had a cracking Christmas new year That is a ton of fixings and hatch covers on the top of the hull, looks really good dave from Armorpax is excellent for Accessories for these big vehicles Look forward to the next one
Thanks Gary and Happy New year to you. Yeh I love the upgrades that Armorpax offer and they are a project in themselves to assemble😀
