Airfix's Type 97 Chi-Ha Japanese Medium Tank. This is the latest boxing though the kit dates back to 1975 scale is listed as 1.76 or HO/OO. Hand painted with Humbrol. I missed the decals off as the sheet went MIA on the model desk. Base is home made It does not look that rough in real life, the camera seems to pick up every fibre of the MDF!

if you want to get rid of that MDF fuzz you could paint the sides with some water-diluted white glue (wood glue). The sides really act like a sponge. With the glue in, and a nice sanding session, those side should look very smooth

Lovely job on the Type 97, a lot better than mine!

Just to be pedantic - the Japanese Army used a flag with the ball in the centre - the off-centre ball is used by the navy.
