Thought I would put up a couple shots of this beast. Its the Chi Nu Japanese Tank Hurter by Fine Molds. Tracks are by Fruil and my first try at them. All that is left is drybrushing and a tad of weathering and whatever our fellow modelers can come up with. Hope ya enjoy!

I like the three tone camo job, and the Fruils look excellent!!

Very nice-

Nice looking tank. Love that sag that the ol' Friuls produce.

Congrats on a nice build.

I have heard a lot about Fime Molds models and this is one of the first I have seen. This looks very nice indeed and you have made an excellent job of the build. The camoflage looks very effective, especially in the first photo and I have to agree with everyone else, those tracks look great!

How do you plan to weather this?

Excellent work here. Nice paint job and subtle weathering. Keep in mind few if any Type 3 Chi-Nu's ever saw combat. Most were kept in Japan for Homeland defense, and I think only 66 Type 3's were completed by the end of WWII. If you happen to see wartime photos, most are pictures of captured Type 3's in a motorpool. Other photos show Type 3's under construction. Great work, and hopefully we can see more of it !

Finemolds kits are EXCELLENT, and I recommend any of their WWII Japanese tank kits. If you like that IJA Type 3 Chi-Nu, try the IJA Type 1 Chi-He. Its a real nice kit !

Cheers !!
