'Old Skool' Tamiya

[ij001]

Bought just ten days ago at the Taupo Hobby Expo...

Mixed my own green, khaki and yellow, the dark red/brown is Tamiya 'Hull Red' straight from the bottle.
Lots to do yet, just the basic pattern on at the moment. Touch ups, gloss, decals and filters etc, etc to follow.

Stay tuned.

Ian.

Post-shading and decals done.

As I'm at a 'natural break' with this wee thing, I'm going to put-it-to-one-side for a week or two and deal with some real-world stuff and hopefully finish the Alpha Jet & M18 as they are both quite close to the finish line just now.

Not that much of an armor buff , but I have to admit that I enjoy Japanese tanks

No idea why :idonno They are just ugly and the paint jobs gaudy at best.

Looking very cool Ian

Very nice Ian!

Saw a real one of these when I was visiting Japan a few years ago. They are pretty small compared to some of the allies tanks.

(must finish up my Type 1..... :hmmm )

You did a great job on that classic Ian.

Thanks, matey.

It's a good re-start point for whenever it goes back to the bench. The decals I've used (according to the Tamiya instructions) are for a vehicle that was home-based for the defense of the mainland... so, won't need too much in the way of weathering or wear'n tear.

Ah...a favorite kit! I have one I did in Floquil/Pollyscale paint and I have another, waiting for the "I can do it better now" campaign to get underway (2018 there Moon-pup???)
