Lawrence Tierney Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Nice one. I'd love to see some slightly more exposed, brighter pics to really see the detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f matthews Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I built this kit “out of the box” with old school-only techniques (sheet styrene, strip brass and brass screen) about ten years ago. For it being a 1975 kit, it is pretty well done. I used the kit tracks but pinned them (and snipped off the pin heads-another 70s technique) for track sag. Aside from the open sponsons and the single-piece muffler/screens, it really holds up well and is a fun, quick build. I enjoyed that one enough that I built the Type 1 SPG old school in 2017 and the Shinhoto version OOB earlier this year. Nice kits and you did a fine job on that one-the camo looks great!

wangmm2047 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The detail of Tamiya's type 97 kit is too basic, It has errors that can't be fixed by anyway. I suggest you should try Dragon's new mold kit or fine molds's kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairtrigger Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Great job on the camo scheme... Tamiya tracks do sag naturally over the passage of time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Excellent result on a very old kit. You have brought it alive with that paint job. Really like it. Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
