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.

Painting the SuspensionApr 24, 2008
Here is the start of painting the suspension. For small pieces I use 3M Painter's tape doubled over and stuck to a paint stirring stick. The painter's tape is low tack yet strong enough to hold pieces while using an airbrush. Also unlike the double stick carpet tape i used on the M8 parts the 3M tape doesn't leave any residue.
