Hello there beautiful people.
This was my first finished kit to greet 2014.Released in September 2013, this kit is very beautifully moulded with moulded-on antislips, clear plastic sheets ( as usual from Tamiya ) and rubber tracks.
I painted this gal in Tamiya JGSDF Dark Green and a mix of JGSDF Brown and normal Brown. A lot of references seemed to show hard edge patterns, I did the green first and masked it off and applied the brown. I just followed the pattern from the instructions. I wanted to exercise artistic license and went for a what-if winter scheme but since I have already made the Type90 in that way, I just decided to keep it factory scheme.
I debated on how to weather it, mainly snows and mud but I realize I have to build more dusty builds as practice so I decided to keep the weathering to a dusty appearance. I didn't do it all dusty ( like my Leclerc) just a moderate amount of dust. The dust was applied first with two layer of oil wash and brushing pigments on top after that.
Here's some photos -
Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos ( many more) can be found on my blog ( I tend to take 20+ photos all the time and I don't want to make the forum post too long so it's kinda like my style of posting)-

Please do have a look and thank you so much in advance for any feedback you guys may have.
Until the next launch .
