Tamiya JGSDF - Type 10 - 56037
Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2018 6:31 pm
Hello Everyone,
So I would like to introduce my latest tank, the Tamiya Type 10 JGSDF - model number 56037.
This is my fourth tank build and i generally enjoyed the process.
Interestingly it was perhaps the most challenging or fiddly, with some very small parts like grab handles and lights, which for the first time meant I had to use tweezers. I actually thought that a couple of these bits could have come pre-molded, but I guess it was quite fun.
Colour scheme is as per manual however its quite a powdery colour which I was initially unsure of, but I think it looks great now.
Did some panel liner to pick up a bit of detail but no weathering or rust effect
The gauze over the lights was intricate, and it has a few more moving parts like turrets\hatches than previous models.
Tank moves great and all the lights are nicely done.
This will be the last tank for a while as the other models all seem to have quite old machining and parts. They are generally cavernous hulls where all the gear is situated and no lights, or minimal. The newer release tanks have better lighting with led's and fibre optics seem to be a bit more involved. I might change my mind though..
What do you think the best kit to attempt is ?
