Odd seeing an Israeli T-55A, never seen one before. I guess when you got a small nation/army, you gotta use what you have. I wish I could do somthin like that....

Thanks for the correction, Larry! That was a quote taken directly from Armour Modelling...I'll have to let 'em know about it!
Just goes to show you what can get "lost in translation."

Just for added excitement, here's the cover of the issue of Armour Modelling that Norio's diorama appears in:



The cover features fellow Naniwa Sensha-tai clubmember Kaz Yoshioka's amazing Berlin diorama.

If you see this issue, grab it!Big Smile [:D]

Norio,
truly stunning work!
the figures in my kits give me a lot of trouble, but your dio is an excellent reminder of
why i should continue to work on them.
they add so much to the total, that for me to leave them on the sprues now would be unthinkable.

please post more of your projects!
and don't worry about your English.
there are so many typos in our posts, we know exactly what you mean most of the time.
:-)
