Trumpeter 1/35 Type 89 + what-if add-on armour and scratchbuilt interior
Posted by robw_uk on Monday, November 9, 2020 12:59 PM

I have been working ion this one most of the year (full build here). I wanted to expand my scratch-building skills so took the Trumpeter 1/35 Type 89 IFV and thought

1) what would the interior look like

2) what would it look like "up-armoured"

3) how about a grey/black paint scheme

 

well this is how it look right now...

 

well with a liberal amount of glue, it's all come together. Just need to add the doors and a little touch up of paint, some dust and light mud and then it is done... this one nearly ended up in the bin so pleased to have got this far....

Cool idea. At first glance, I thought "Warrior".

I’m glad it didn’t end up in the bin as you’ve made a very nice looking model. I really like the weathering on the sides.
