It seems that I can now edit but only post that have been created by me after the permissions were granted. So my prior post still cannot be edited. I can live with it I guess. Just some grammer errors that are bugging me. Thanks for getting that permission fixed for me.

Well I'm calling it finished. Maybe the only thing I will try and do still is super glue the tracks at the top rear section of the sprockets to help it lay down more as it kinda sticks up in that area. I couldn't use the pin method to sag the track in that area as there is no place to drill into. Well what do you think? I think with more practice I will get better result using the methods I used on this tank. After all that is what it comes down to, practice.





















Thanks for looking. Now on to the next kit which I think will be a Type 1 Ho Ni .

I don't know Roy- it looks great but I just feel it looks to shiny and new- maybe just needs some dust/pigments to give it some authenticity. I mean it's a nice clean build but it needs some dust.

Thanks James, I really don't know if I am going to do anymore work on this or not. It is just a shelf sitter and thats it so I just may leave it as is. If you look at my past work it becomes obvious that I am not a big weather guy. I usually do a light dusting of the lower hull and suspension and thats it. I do need to work on that aspect though. One other thing I never sprayed a dull coat on this. That may be why it is pretty shinny so I need to do that. Thanks for the tips. ON to my next project. I think it is going to be another Japanese vehicle, the Type 1 Ho Ni. I need to get some stuff together befor I start on it though. Thanks again.
