Modeller Build Logs

Type 2 Ka-Mi

I was shipped this example by Airedale some time ago. A renewed hull was also shipped to me from whence I have started the kit. I reviewed the kit some time ago for track-link also. Since I did the review I have come across some parts that need to be addressed in the build that I will point out in the BLOG. I feel very fortunate to have this kit and will try to do it justice. This is one vehicle I would love to see in plastic but probably never will. Reference that I use will be also pointed out along with the build.

Suspension FinishedMay 11, 2008
This picture shows the completed suspension painted and installed. At this point a dullcoat has yet to be added. If you notice carefully almost all the rivets and bolts have little holes. These are air bubbles from the casting. I was too lazy to fill them all because of the vast number. A better modeler may have taken the time to fill them with perhaps a drop of gap-filling superglue.
