In this video I build a M4A3E8 Sherman "easy eight" 1/35 scale model tank from tamiya. This was my first ever time building a scale model tank and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I'm looking forward to improving my skills over time and sharing everything I learn with you guys.
most of the products used in the video are linked below.
