Made a start on the Type 90! Susension,sprockets and roadwheels are done.I may or may not be using the kit roadwheels as i'm waiting to hear on some replacement wheels.

Cool! I didn't even know that anyone MADE a replacement barrel for this kit. The usual Tamiya quality on this one...had fun with it.

Nice! Hope you've ordered some paint for this one too - otherwise you'll have to start yet more kits while you're waiting |

Dupes,Todd thinks it's the same 120mm barrel as used on the Abrams! I'll know when I get it. Dierk,i'm happy to say I do have the paints for this build! |

Good progress Leon! Modern armour is one of the many subjects I'm somewhat ignorant of, but reminds me a bit of a Leo. "Gawd i hate PB!!!! " You couldn't possibly be referring to Pro Boards, so I wonder what you mean? Petty Bourgoise? Patriotic Bolshevics? Playing Ball? Puppies Barking? No sorry, you lost me...  Ooh, ooh I know: Platinum Blondes! Am I right? Am I? |

Looks more like a weird rash than a cammo scheme, but i dig it.

Don't know how effective it would be as actual camouflage - but it ticks all my weird and wonderful boxes, so I'd say 'go for it!'

Starting on it now.That's 4 projects on the bench now. 
Hope i'm not digging myself nto a hole.
