Howdy all, time for another IJA armor build. I’ve been focused a lot on wargaming pieces lately, and want to shift gears and do some scale models. This Ho-I from Finemolds is a neat one and I’m giving it a go. A neat vehicle, granted it’s a “paper tank” and never saw action, but will look neat in the lineup.
I did get the metal barrel from finemolds for it as well. I don’t know how much of a difference it realistically makes, but it seems a bit better looking from my perspective. Besides that, I plan to keep this build out of box with no aftermarket parts as of now.
Not pictured are all the wheels, because I someone completely missed putting them on. But they are painted as well. For the color, I am leaning towards a plain green like my Chi Ha, but may try the 3 color brown pattern
