The latest addition to my Japanese tank park. A Warlord Games Type 97 Chi-Ha. Painted and generally tarted-up since its last outing in a near-naked state.
This is one of the most iconic Japanese tanks, so having one in my force was pretty well a must. I tried to give this one more of a faded, worn and beaten-up look.
To be honest, a bit of a swine to put together and paint; I didn't find myself developing the same "affection" towards it as I did the other two as I was working on it, so I'm relieved its finally done. Can't really say why, it just didn't grab me the same way as the Ha-Go did.
All three vehicles I've painted so far.
Two more to go, a Chi-Nu medium tank and a Ho-Ro self-prepared gun.
Earlier this week I cleaned up the parts of an LVT-4 for my US Marine force, another icon of the Pacific War from the other side. It is a massive piece of resin, one I really am looking forward to painting. But only once my Japanese are all done, and I've a bit of work to do there first.
