Same here… with about a decades worth of Military Modellings. But that was out of economic necessity, unfortunately.
Nevertheless!
I have finally started work on my Type 97 last night!
The results so far:
Fit was exactly that which I have come to expect from Tamiya. However the wheels were misaligned, so a bunch of sanding was required.
But compared to the 1974 vintage M13/40 I am simultaniously doing for the Summer Nostalgia-campaign the castings and detail are way better.
The Japanese tankcommander looks like one, whereas the Italian counterpart has strong resemblances to what I imagine a garden gnome corpse would looks like.
