MARVELOUS!

Beautiful work.

thank you guys for all the great comments! I really appreciate it! I just finished the main weathering of the tracks & wheels, so I attached it to the hull. Some oils and wet mud also added, but I'm with mixed feelings, probably I make some minor changes to the actual mud effect. More to come!

Now 2 pictures of the full kit, still in progress, but almost done. Need some micro-detailing here and there and the base.

That's just plain out cool. I love how those wooden front wheels came out. 

Wow!  The front wheels were wood?!?  I didn't know that. 

Awesome work!

Well the kit is finally done, only the wooden base is pending. I present you my version of the Japanese FT-17 Trainer tank during the 1929-1940 period more or less, using the Takom 1/16 FT-17 Renault. Hope you have enjoy the ride like I did.

Your weathering is top-notch. Just an all-around excellent build.

Just stunning, love what you've done here. And love that you can take the top off to show all the extra work you did on the engine and interior.

Beautifully done.

                        
First rate, TOP quality build.........

For the base I used a native wood base donated by one artisan last year.

For the final touch, a Rising Sun flag printed in high quality paper, cut and trimmed.

And here the final result!
