Dave_R Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi All, A bit of a late entry here. It's an old kit but it looks pretty good to me. I bought this recently for a few penny less than a tenner. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Hi All, The hull and turret are together. It all fits well considering the age of the kit. Top and bottom of the hull aren't glued together yet, as it'll be easier to work on like that for now. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Hi Dave. Welcome to the GB and great to have you here. Nice idea for a project and it looks like you are off to a cracking start. I've looked at this kit with interest in the shops before, so I will be intersted in seeing what you do with it. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Can't go wrong with classic Tamiya. I remember building the old Airfix one in my youth and really liked how it turned so I am sure your Tamya one will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi All, The lower hull is painted. Apparently the Japanese applied the camo. by brush so I've done the same. I've drilled four holes and put in a piece of wire from a paper clip in each side to make the track look a bit saggy. Hopefully when the pins are painted track colour and with mud on the tracks, they won't be too visible. Dave. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Very nice work Dave, the painting looks really good and the sag on the tracks is very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hi Dave. Wow!! Very impressive work on the camo and the tracks! That looks excellent! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hi All, The upper hull is painted. There's a bit of detail painting and few decals to do and then it onto the weathering. Dave. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hi All, The two hull parts are together now. I've given it a matt coat and airbrushed on some dust coloured paint in places. A bit more weathering and it's done. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
