Papírové modelářství

After a long battle, I would like to present a model of the Japanese medium tank Type 97 Chi-Ha Shinhoto. The model has been released for the MODEL HOBBY from Szczecin and the author is Mr. Marian Sobel. Model shows tank from 9 Sensha Rentai (9 Tank Regiment) fighting in June 1944 Saipan. I built model 1.6 years and was completed back in 2014 but only now found time to present it. At the beginning I built two models simultaneously. As the work progressed I had to give up the "twin" because there were too many items to complete on time.

They have been added: rivets, steel cables, metal barrel hp, laser cut tracks. The model further increased with a lot of elements based on the monograph AJ PRESS - JAPANESE armor and images found on the internet. For the model was made a little vignette and laser-cut lettering courtesy of MODEL HOBBY Publishing, for which I thank this site.

I think, it is very well done. I built this tank a few years ago and I enjoyed it, but you are done it a bit better
Very cute armored vehicle.
Congrats to nice model.

EDIT: what material you used to covers of exhausts? Is it laser parts?

Nets muffler is cut by laser, purchased in the store at the publisher. It is a set of accessories dedicated to this model.
