The Duke's Final Armor for 2017

Post by Duke Maddog »

Here at the end of 2017, I have finished one more tank. This tank its the IBG Japanese Type 89 Early in 1/72 scale. This model measures less than two inches in length. I finally managed to get it finished just yesterday. Here it is, built out of the box:

That's it for armor for this year. I tried to finish up the Japanese Type 89 Late, but it took a bit more time. That might be my first for 2018. At least I was able to finish one other model; as well as a collection, this year. Until next year, thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

That is too cool Mark. When you compare that to a Sherman.... :hmm:

Thanks Blacksheep! It was a cool little model to build!

Thanks Carlos! Yeah, I think this would never measure up to a Sherman! I believe a hand-held can opener would peel this back without breaking a sweat! :giggles:

You and me both BsY, I am hoping to get more of those Japanese tanks soon.

Thanks for the compliment. I hope to have the Late one done soon now too.
