Willy Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Greetings! This model is released by the Japanese company Aoshima and is the prototype of the serial model Type 16. A production car called Type 16 entered service recently. Having adopted this type of equipment, the Japanese decided to increase the mobility of tank formations. It should be noted that tank destroyers as a class lead their history from the Second World War, including wheeled ones. An inherent advantage of wheeled fighters is mobility, high speed of movement, reliability of wheeled chassis and low cost of production. The downside here is thin armor. The model was assembled last year, and since I'm new to the forum, I am posting it now. Wish you friends a pleasant viewing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaoinas Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Absolutely stunning. Hard to believe that it is 1:72. Judging the photos, the steering and suspension seems to be movable so the model could be posed however one desires which makes it even more impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srkirad Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It looks very realistic. I like colour modulation on panels, and especially good moment is this angle of suspension, this is something I see for the first time someone did on scale models - it gives model additional realism effect! Fantastic! Cheers, S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Thanks for the kind words friends! The working suspension of the model was not made by me, it is offered by the kit itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 No pics here either, I think there must be some problem with google photos as it happens on other threads too.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenoz Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Nice little bugger... It's a nice kit too to start from... Did you make a lot of changes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Hi Willy, now i can see pics too, very well executed, like me a lot. I see that in some pics, the vehicle seems tilted, as if it were moving and the suspension was working, a very cool effect. Cheers Willy 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
