SPA Modeler

Yes, I know it's November, but these got finished last month right about in the middle of the month. I didn't get to post until now due to all kinds of things getting piled on. Anyway, here they are:


These are two Light Armored Vehicles that were in a kit by Fujimi. These two are Japanese Air Self Defense Force vehicles, used mostly for reconnaissance of airfield perimeters and patrolling. Anyway, they got done, so I built one with the roof closed and machine gun stowed and the other one opened:




















I tried to lightly dust these as I didn't want them to look like they'd been in the field but patrolling around the perimeter.


These next two are a little more heavily weathered as they've been in the field working on practicing artillery support. These are two JGSDF Light Artillery Tractors with 120mm Mortars. I built one limbered for transport, and the other deployed for firing:




















I apologize for the poor quality of those pics; apparently the white background messed with my camera.


Stay tuned, there's more to come this month now.

Nice work Mark! They look pretty good. From what I remember, the Japanese keep their vehicles looking pretty clean whenever possible.

Yep. I’d concur!

Nice builds!

Thank you Carlos and Lyle! I agree with you and Lyle, all my research has shown this. I did over do it on the mortar carriers a bit, but they just arrived back from a fire support training exercise in the field.

Thank you Blacksheep!

Very nice!

Thank you Mike!

I just realized, these are four new models, not two.

A bit late but nice work Mark!

Thank you Stuart! I'm always surprised when someone digs down to look at my threads and comments on them!

I'm a bit like British Rail, I maybe late but I'll get there eventually!
