Red,
I picked up a couple of 1/35 Japanese tank models and a few books, i want to do 2 in 1/18, theType 97 Chi-Ha also a Type 1 Ho-Ni 1, I have already laid the ground work (Scale -n-Measurements), but thats it, They will be pet Projects so i'm not in a hurry, Pickelhaube told me that he thought japanese tanks were the most least wanted and i guess it's true, But i have always wanted to do a japanese Custom, I'll be watching your as you go.

Thanks again for the nice comments---yall kick-ass!!!---RED---mediump wrote:Awesome Red!! I think you're the only one I've seen that uses wood in the construction.
