Japanese Type 61 MBT at Home on The Range


Recommended Posts

This is Trumpeter's 1/72 scale Type 61 tank on the live-firing range. It was built for a "Home Front" group build on the Braille Scale discussion group over on Missing Lynx. I scratch-built the mantlet's canvas dust-cover, headlight-guards, tow-rope and smoke-grenade launchers. The kit is quite well detailed but suffers from very thin and flexible hull and turret, plus the vinyl tracks are thick, poorly detailed and crammed in under the track-guards. My build log is linked to here:

Blimey Mark, do you ever sleep?! That's another cracking little braille scale jobby - I really like the camo finish! Lovely 'biscuit' it's sitting on again too!

Thanks, Keith,

 

Actually, I don't sleep much and sometimes model until midnight or even 3am on occasion. 22 finishes since June this year and counting!
