Hi guys, Inspired by Peter's 1/35th build of the JGSDF Light Armored vehicle (LAV), I'm going to dig my 1/48th example out of the stash (in order to yet further reduce its size) and do an OOB build, with a unique and eye catching 'Winter Camo', as seen on other JGSDF armoured vehicles. thumbnail_20170930_165307 by Glen Phelan, on FlickrI'll follow up with some reference and in progress pics asap, and it's available to see publicly as a facebook album on my timeline. Cheers |

An idea of the JGSDF winter camo I'm going for... JGSDF Type 90 winter camo by Glen Phelan, on Flickr

See I get blamed for everything at home and now on here just typical lol Ah well I’ll take it as a compliment in my build rather than just the really nice kits by Tamiya:) Looking forward to watching this Glen alongside build my own. Be interesting to see the kit difference, but I’m intrigued by the choice of camo scheme never thought of that myself and option wasn’t given in 1/35. |

Progress after 1 hour and fifty minutes, only, magnificent engineering by Tamiya I must say. All that's left to do is paint really... thumbnail_20170930_234408 by Glen Phelan, on Flickr thumbnail_20170930_234430 by Glen Phelan, on Flickr thumbnail_20170930_234545 by Glen Phelan, on Flickr

Definitely take it as a compliment mate, you won't get many This camo is not an option with mine either Peter, but hey, a lot of exercises (internationally) get very little photo coverage, everyone is so busy. A whole lot of camo and weathering occurs we'll probably never see

Cheers Pat. It looks like a repeating pattern, i.e. a template, repeating over the whole vehicle. Will knock something up similar, in scaled down form, and might even try to include the plentiful overspray evident on the 1/1 AFVs... |
