Re: Dragon 1/35 IJN Type 2 Ka-Mi amphibious tank
The Type 95 tracks turned up from HobbyEasy. Made by Fat Frog (I believe a bricks and mortar subsidiary of HobbyEasy) they are 3D printed resin. They came well packaged in a plastic box, well padded with foam. The support points are tiny and the links just snap off without any clean up needed. The l...

Re: Trumpeter 1/35 E10
…and I’m done. Fit is OK apart from the torsion bar arms which are a bit rubbish, but hidden by the large road wheels. There as a ton of flash to remove and a large amount of mold lines. Not shown are the PE side skirts which I have left off. 81AC51E6-C395-44FD-A2E4-E5C5CAA76015.jpeg The track optio...

Trumpeter 1/35 E10
I bought this kit as an “order filler” a while back. For the princely sum of $20 I couldn’t pass it up. It’s a pretty basic kit, a small fret of PE, and a small parts count. The detail is a bit soft, but it is a very early kit from the manufacturer and their quality has improved significantly. 06EA9...

Re: Dragon 1/35 IJN Type 2 Ka-Mi amphibious tank
Oils completed. Had a go with the VMS “Oil Expert” enhancing medium. Handles just like thinner but supposedly the oils dry within 24hrs. 427A865C-1429-4824-90B8-0E3F035A3E23.jpeg The props are on and I’ve begun the work on the exhaust. 220E9470-D582-42D6-BDD8-587CFC21D12A.jpeg I bought an “Octypus” ...

Undercoated with Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500, base coated in Tamiya XF-53, then “Distressed” using chipping fluid and layers of Mr Hobby H307 and H308. I’ve applied an Ammo acrylic “Pale Blue” filter (MIG-0829) to start tying it all together. E4CF6425-38EA-48B8-A563-AE802AC18F24.jpeg Next step is oil...

Thanks Dan, if my foray into 3D resin doesn’t work out I might hunt them down!

Can I just clarify, if I didn’t start a GB project for say, towed artillery, can I start one now?
