I would most likely kill for one in 1/32.
Although in Battlefield 1942 I was the one getting killed whenever I got in one.

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.

...are the tracks and orange sprockets from the Tamiya track set? If it is, that's an awesome idea.

Awesome Red!! I think you're the only one I've seen that uses wood in the construction. Those leathernecks better keep thier eyes open and thier powder dry!

Roger that Brother!!! Yeah---I use wood because if done right the customs can take a lot of abuse---just look at the LVTs!!! They have been in the water(both fresh and salt),mud,sand,and dirt and still look pretty good!!!I hope to have this custom done soon so I can start takeing some dio pics!!! Thanks again for the nice comments---yall kick-ass!!!---RED---
