Well, it’s that time of year again, the So.Cal. AMPS 12 Hour build online Zoom Challenge. This year, my clubmates voted on this kit for my entry, Tamiya’s 1/35 Komatsu Light Armored Vehicle
I will be making this OOB, in the markings of the JGSDF contingent sent to Iraq early in OIF.
During the first session I completed the chassis and most of the interior, plus a bit of airbrushing the underside and interior colors.
and a test fit of the upper hull onto the chassis
not too bad for the first four hour sessions…

Today was session #2 of the 12 Hour Challenge, hours 5 thru 8… I was able to meet all planned goals, and get approx 90% of construction and painting completed…
the next session will be decals, flat coat, final construction, painting and weathering…

Several years ago I built this kit modified for the JASDF security forces here at Yokota Air Base. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a convincing way to replicate the markings (I wish someone would do an aftermarket), but it is a lovely little kit. Does not take much extra time to scratch replacement sidelights and brushguards, which make a big difference.
