Willy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Добрий день. Слава Україні! Kon’nichiwa from Baku! Hi trickyrich, hello mates! Support the competition with Fujimi Type 99 SPG in 1/72. At first sight the model's quality is very good. Have etched brass addition. Best regards, Willy Edited April 30, 2022 by Willy 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hi Willy, Nice looking kit. Over the years I have built quite a few Fujimi kits - in the 1970's and 1980's it was their 1/76 scale tanks and 1/700 scale waterline ships. Later it was their 1/72 Phantoms and their 1/72 JNAF aircraft as in the Judy I built in this GB. They were one of the big 4 Japanese manufacturers it seemed, along with Tamiya, Hasegawa and Aoshima and were pretty good. However of late they seem to have vanished from stores over here in the UK - not sure why - is this a fairly recent release? Good luck with the build.

Willy Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Hello Pete. Regarding to Scalemates the kit was released in 2019 year. I started to build it and can say quality is really very good, they even made weld beads. A lot of slide molded pieses, for example the barrel. Just added some holes to make it better, Thanks and Best regards! Edited May 4, 2022 by Willy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 welcome along Willy, and what a great and interesting choice you've bought along. Not a build I would have expected to see, which is great. The moulding work on the model looks really nice and not too heavy. Plus you even have PE to go with it, very nice! Well good luck with the build, it's great to have you along and I hope you have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Thats quite small yet impressive detail work you've done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yes this "Blind" scale makes me blind. But I think it worth it. After all, the best praise for a modeler is when his model is confused with a larger scale. The smaller the miniature, the more valuable it is, at least for me.

Oh my I just re-read the initial post ! I thought this build was in 1/35th … How are you able to see anything without using an electron microscope to do the work ?
