Tamiya M41 Tank Model Build – Part 1 Assembly

I’ve started building scale models again. It’s been four months since I’ve completed a model, and the Tamiya M41 Tank Model was a nice easy build to ease back into model building.

In the video below I restart my model building hobby. Last model completed in April 2025, so it’s been awhile. To ease back into building, I chose a straight forward Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog Tank. This video covers the assembly of the tank in fast speed. Part 2 will be priming and painting. Thanks for watching.
