Remember the mighty Soviet AT rifle team in the previous post? Here they are in action against the Emperor’s finest, in the shape of a pair of Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tanks.
“But Tim” I hear you cry “you don’t use 1/35 tanks!” True, but both of these came in batches of figures (so ‘free’ in wargamer economic terms) and, along with some other Jap armour I already had, will pretty well fulfil my current oriental armour requirements.
The Type 97 nearest the camera arrived already painted, so I have needed only to make some repairs and add markings. As the turret hatch was open (well, missing) I also added a commander, in the shape of the leg amputee from the Fine Molds set featured earlier. He seems happy enough with his new posting.
The other tank also needed a bit of work and the paintwork is all mine.
Nice Tim- their size in 1/35 makes them look more imposing than they probably should....
