Type 95 Ha-Go

Running gear assembled 

Main fuselage assembled, waiting on the Transmission to get installed. 

Designed something in Tinkercad to play the part of the transmission. Need to build out floor and a "firewall". The main parts are here however.
 

Actual tank that is being built. From Tarawa 1944 

Transmission test fit into the hull. Hatches will be open so it needs something to fill the space.
 

 

 

Opened up. Will look much better painted, need to put in a firewall (not sure what to call it) and some controls as well as brake pads. 

Spring made out of copper wire 

Transmission installed
 

Some paint added and a few details
 

 

 

Assembled 3D printed stuff 

Assembly of Friul tracks. 

Original bag of tracks for one side of the model. 

Started with strips after cleaning up the parts. Substituted copper wire for the brass that came with it. Mixes feelings about that. The copper is so soft that if you need to apply any pressure it bends very easily. 

Added some texture to the body. 

 

 

One side track completed
