Hello there beautiful people. This is my first finished kit to greet the new year with. I will be greeting the new year with a newly finished Type 10, one of the recent offering from Tamiya. Released in September 2013, this kit is very beautifully moulded with moulded-on antislips, clear plastic sheets ( as usual from Tamiya ) and rubber tracks. I painted this gal in Tamiya JGSDF Dark Green and a mix of JGSDF Brown and normal Brown. A lot of references seemed to show hard edge patterns, I did the green first and masked it off and applied the brown. I just followed the pattern from the instructions. I wanted to exercise artistic license and went for a what-if winter scheme but since I have already made the Type90 in that way, I just decided to keep it factory scheme. I debated on how to weather it, mainly snows and mud but I realize I have to build more dusty builds as practice so I decided to keep the weathering to a dusty appearance. I didn't do it all dusty ( like my Leclerc) just a moderate amount of dust. The dust was applied first with two layer of oil wash and brushing pigments on top after that. Here's some photos - Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos ( many more) can be found on my blog - modeller-innovation.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/tamiya-135-jgsdf-type10.htmlPlease do have a look and thank you so much in advance for any feedback you guys may have. Until the next launch .

Nice one! Would have liked that female tank commander from Girls und Panzer riding it though That though actually crossed my mind .. but female commander figures are only available in White metal which makes them very very expensive and also, they are in WW2 uniform ...

Yeah .. no... not gonna spend a lot of money on a couple of figure ( especially the Overrated and overpriced GuP kits ) .. plus HLJ's huge postage and to top it off, VAT at custom in the UK ... and also, again, this is not in the actual JGSDF uniform so yeah ...
