Back to my Badger, lots of nuts and bolts everywhere but still found some places where the kit needed a few extra…

Fitted the exhaust system… those supports are a bit fiddly..

And than they get covered up and you don’t see much of it anymore…

I was going to say: Those exhausts need some asbestos rope wrapped around them!

Nearly done, only tracks and side boards left…


Look at the size of this monster, 38 cm, the gun barrel takes up half of that…
This cupola is optional instead of another rectangular hatch…

Amusing Hobby kits are outstanding in both fit and detail. You’re going to love the build.

Looking to join up and actually finish something this year. What I want to build up is this, the Fine Molds Type 4 Chi-To :

The Chi-To was meant as a counter to the M4 sherman, with development starting in 1943. There were many delays in the program and the Type 3 Chi-Nu was developed as a stop gap in the mean time. The first prototype was received in 1944 and production plans were made but with severe shortages due to allied bombings, only six chasis were built. Only two complete tanks were completed and dumped into lake Hamana to avoid capture at the end of the war. The US army managed to pull one out of the lake, the other remained. A search for the second tank was made in 2013 but was not found.

Started the chassis, went together easily.

Got the long barreled 75 together.

The turret is made up of only a few parts, built up quick.

Lastly, a picture of the real thing:
