Hi again, after a two week vacation break I am back at the desk and painting table.
Worked has continued on the Japanese and USMC books for Victory Decision.
A Type 97 Shinhoto is ready to be shown.

1/72 - 20 mm Milicast Japanese Type 97 Shinhoto
In late 1942, Japan decided to improve both the hull and turret of the Type 97. The result was the Shinhoto, armed with a 47mm Type 1 gun and two 7.7mm MGs. The Shinhoto’s name means “new turret” and it was arguably the best overall tank design produced by the Japanese during the war.

Always nice work mate ! Love the paint job .

Very fine.

Well done. Nice work on the camo pattern.

Reminds me of the old Aurora 1/40 scale kit of the same tank I built many years ago. Wish I still had it today.

Excellent work!

Type 100 O-I Superheavy Tank (1/72 World at Arms model)

O-I was the name given to a proposed series of Japanese super-heavy tanks, to be used in the Pacific Theatre. The vehicle was truly a behemoth and similar in size to the German Maus. Exact information is lacking however and many claims contradict each other; it is unknown whether the vehicle was truly built or ever saw combat.
