Cheers Mat :thumbup:
The next 3 photo's look just like the previouse ones......but they actualy show the adjustment to the suspension, to make it sit a bit lower, the return rollers fitted, and a slight adjustment to the turret position. But now im happy with the track set up, it just needs a few detail touches to the lower hull, and then I can start to finish painting it.

Blimey VonR' thats a remarkable model, very different subject, I think you have captured the look of it really well. seems Pnz III tracks are the universal substitute for others. Nice one

Cheers Ian. Yeh, I thought the PZR was a small tank! The ha-go should be narrower by about 20mm, but unfortunatley the stock gear box's wouldnt allow this, but hey ho :/

Hi mate nice build , love the cammo scheme looks very authentic . In the latest issue of After the battle theres some intresting pictures of two Japanese Type 89B Yi-Go-Otsu tanks on Bouganville (now Papua New Guinea ) still were they were left in 1945 . And some picts of restored versions. Nice little tank . I have a keen intrest in the Pacific war .As Ive collected WW2 gear since 1987 and U.S.M.C. gear for just over 5 years now. I realy like your tank well done mate.

Cheers guys :thumbup: Its almost finished now, ive given it a quick spin around the garden, and i seem to have modeled into it the mechanical unreliability of the real thing!, though these are over come just by driving it slow and steady and this just adds to the charactor of the tank. The bugger is, ive miss placed my camera charger :thumbdown: as soon as i find it, ill post some more pictures. thanks again for all your possitive feed back :thumbup:

Regards, luke.
