I remember I enjoyed making this kit years ago. Not to this standard though... Great work on both of yours.

Nicely done Ratch, Japanese tanks don't feature all that regularly on here. Are these built from the Airfix kit?

Yes Shaun, the first was damaged, in a Type 5 box 61319-6 and the second in the latest Type 16 A01319, and it still goes together very well :razz:
