Above is the 1/35 Tamiya Type 97 built straight box stock. I’ve always liked this kit. Camouflage masked by Silly Putty. Weathering is pastels, pencil, and a little oil paint. Any comments good or bad are appreciated.
hi matt -[:D]-- the build is great!i enjoyed the pics on the forum and checked out the rest on fotopic-- super job-- not many guys venture into Japanese armor-- it is a refreshing treat – thanks for the cool pics---- treadwell[:P]
Thanks for all the positive feed back. Everything seemed to come together for a change. I too really like IJA subjects. I wish there were more out there along with the Fine Mold kits.
That’s a great looking paint job! Funny timing, I’ve been looking for Japanese armor for a while and just ran across one of these kits and bought it yesterday in a LHS. Yours is definitely inspiration for me to get working on it.
I did not write them down for a change, but I used Floquil Railroad color Boxcar red for one. And I’m ~90% sure the other two are, Model Master Armor Sand FS 30277, and MM Dark Green FS 34079 all in enamel. The instructions stated to use box for reference.
nice job on a subject we dont get to see everyday i have this kit in the pile and keep putting it off for some reason, yours turned out very nice, especially like the paint work i think mine may have moved back to the top of the build pile again.
