Mach1revo Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I usually build heavy commercial trucks and cars but have always been interested in military stuff. I found thus kit at a hobby shop open box for $15 with the Tamiya photoetch kit in the box. This was my first military build. This kit just fell together, very enjoyable build. Comments or critism always welcome. Kit: Tamiya 1/35 jgsdf type 90 tank Paint: Tamiya acrylics / Testors dull/gloss cote Weathering: Oil paints thinned with white spirit and Tamiya weathering kits.
george 53 Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Is this just a revamped Abrahms? It looks like one, but since it's Japanese I'm assumeing it's their version of our tank.
george 53 Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Oh an you did a very nice job on it. It came our really good!
Mach1revo Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 The tank is made by Mitsubishi heavy industries and other than the 120mm gun is designed and made in Japan. The main gun as i understand is a lic. copy of the German made gun on the Abrams and Leopard tanks. Thanks
Edward Gore Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Very nice. Is the chain for the smoke dischargers included in the kit?
Mach1revo Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 The smoke grenade chain is not included with the kit. I used some 42 link per inch chain from the ship section at my LHS. Probably a little too big but close enough for me. The stowage straps are strips of masking tape and just some brass rod for the antennas. Thanks
Agent G Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 That is really good. It has that " Go ahead make my day" look to it. G
