The Duke Finishes Four Armor in October

[Dukemaddog]

Yes, I know it's November, but these got finished last month right about in the middle of the month. I didn't get to post until now due to all kinds of things getting piled on. Anyway, here they are:


These are two Light Armored Vehicles that were in a kit by Fujimi. These two are Japanese Air Self Defense Force vehicles, used mostly for reconnaissance of airfield perimeters and patrolling. Anyway, they got done, so I built one with the roof closed and machine gun stowed and the other one opened:




















I tried to lightly dust these as I didn't want them to look like they'd been in the field but patrolling around the perimeter.


These next two are a little more heavily weathered as they've been in the field working on practicing artillery support. These are two JGSDF Light Artillery Tractors with 120mm Mortars. I built one limbered for transport, and the other deployed for firing:




















I apologize for the poor quality of those pics; apparently the white background messed with my camera.


Stay tuned, there's more to come this month now.

Nice work Duke, I like the weighted tyres on the Japanese defence vehicle

[Dukemaddog]

Thank you Jed! Yes, the weighted tires come in the kit, already molded that way. I would think the axle pegs would have been shaped so the flat part was down, but that is not the case. I had to check on a flat surface to make sure they were all touching correctly. I'm still not sure I got them all correct.
