I elected to do a winter scheme because I thought it different than the basic two-tone camouflage. The dots where applied using different diameter dowels from cocktail sticks to a piece of sprue. Four different diameters were used.

Here is the Trumpeter type 90 tank in 1/72. I am quite fond of the Trumpeter small scale armor kits. Great detail, good vinyl tracks and a loaded decal sheet.

I would not have said that was 1/72 without your admission; that looks a really good build and paint job and could easily be taken for a larger scale 
Top work!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

I really like it and the added detail of the camo fabric on the muzzle.

Dang, Jeff!! That's fantastic painting. The fabric and stuff on the barrel looks great too. I love it.

Re: Trumpeter 1/72 Type 90 Tank
What a great piece of small scale armour building, Jeff and I could have easily taken it for 1/35th. That is a very unusual looking winter cam scheme which I've never seen before and you've pulled it off with great skill.

Re: Trumpeter 1/72 Type 90 Tank
Thats an absolute cracker! As mentioned above, it could easily pass for 1/35.
