Popped down to the main Tamiya shop in Tokyo. Only 15 minutes door to door on my scooter to check out the new T34 85 in 1/48 scale. But I went for the 8 wheeled armoured car. Got a nice little diorama in mind with some mechanics left over from a field maintenance set. I was thinking of this for the supporting our troops GB, but got another idea for that now. So without further ado.  |

LMFAO   how I envy that I loved the 1/35 version of this, so I'm looking forward to seeing how its little brother turns out  |

Nice choice and how lucky are you to "pop down to the tamiya shop". If only!

Yes, it’s very close on my scooter, but takes a bit longer on the train or bus. Got a flier for a figure contest later this year. Anyways, amazing fit on this model. Just goes together like a dream.  I like armoured cars the best. I made this dingo as my third model and it’s still got pride of place. Interesting to compare how more adapt I’ve become. Or at least I hope so.  |

Looking good Tommy. I like the Dingo, I made the Tamiya Humber armour car in 1/48th. Lovely little kit.

Basically OOB so far. The only thing I’ve done is bore out the inside of the horns.  |

Thanks Marco. Nice finish. A very pleasant time was had. Got a bit of stowage which looks good to add, then it’s the painting- panzer grey.  |
