It might be ready for septons scout hut meet, if its still on, im just not sure how long its going to take. Only one person on here knows what it is intended to be, and im not saying anything, at least untill the lower hull is done, so ill just keep you all guessing
Got some more pics coming soon.

Well thats nackered that then. Yes, its a HA-GO, Type 95 japanese tank, well, as close as i can get it. Hopefully, when its finished, it will be a fair representation of a japanese tank.

Looking really good. Clever use of servo horns to hold the suspension units.
Cheers

, That would have been a clever idea, Unfortunately I did'nt think of that at the time. The suspension units are all home made, apart from the wheels. the 'horns' being cut from an office door sign.
