Here are a couple of pics of the Tamiya JGSDF Vehicle. I used the Eduard PE for it as well. It's almost finished. I will post the finished pics here when finished.















Tell me what you think. Thanks for looking.

I really love the look of this vehicle. I'm looking for conversion kits to see what I can get out of it.

Beautiful! And it is so small when you open the box. You've done a very nice job. Did the radios come with the kit or are they resin? I'll anxiously wait the final results.

Looks great! I really like the interior. The fire extinguisher was nice touch. I, too, would like to know if the radios are aftermarket or did they come with the kit?

Looking forward to the finished product.

Thanks for the comments! As far as the radios they are a mi of resin and PE. They are also an afterthought. I was about to put the body shell on when i started looking at the big empty space on the dash. There is a huge open empty space where I put my radios. I went into the spares box and pulled some radios out and walla. I made the hand recievers from styrene, the cables from wire.

The kit is a fairly easy build and turns into a nce looking vehicle i think. All the grab handles on the hood are added as there are none in the box or photoetch. I used the box art to determine where the handles went.

Anyway, I'll finish putting her together and post more pics here soon.
