Two More Tanks from the Duke

[Dukemaddog]

Just recently I was able to finish two more tanks this month. This first one is the Modelcollect T-80U main battle tank:







The second one is the IBG Japanese Type 89 Late tank:





You can see I added the Japanese flag to the side. Hopefully no more confusion about this being a Japanese tank....

Here's an overhead shot to show more of the camouflage pattern:



Yes, one of the hatches is missing. Someday when I find it I'll add it to this tank. Until then, I'm declaring this done.

Just for fun, here's a couple shots of this tank next to the Type 89 Early so you can see some of the differences:





Finally, a shot of these two with a no. 11 Exacto blade to show how small they are:




That's all for now. I also finished two aircraft, feel free to check them out in the Aircraft Forums. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Both are fine but I'm really liking that T-80!

Thanks for the awesome comments guys! It feels great to get these finished. I am grateful for all your approval.

Nicely done, Duke. I'm sure that like most of us, you use an Optivisor or magnifying lamp when working on these. But those little Japanese jobs look more like you need a microscope!

Thanks Beekster! Actually, all I do is remove my eyeglasses and I see these fine. I'm blessed that way.

That's hilarious Bucky! I actually wear those when driving! LOL!

Thanks Armorguy! I do agree, they will look great among my entire collection.

Thanks again for all the great compliments guys!

Sometimes, I think I need to trade mine in for Magoo Specials!!
