Chi-Ha Type 97 (Late) by Gary Boggs
This is the 1/35th scale Tamiya Japanese Shinhoto Chi-Ha Type 97 (Late) with Fruil tracks, built by Gary Boggs. The dark yellow base coat was airbrushed, then the camouflage was hand painted with a brush (Series 7) and Vallejo acrylics. The model was finished using assorted washes, oils, and pigments.

Brilliant, the rust of the scapes tubes is really amazing. This tank is very awesome. Good Job
