Lookin' good Michael!
The Shi-Ki also had other modifications to it. I made a conversion for this vehicle which was going to be a Harper Castings product a few years ago. Many of the master patterns are finished and sitting in a box in my basement. I am going to do an article on modeling the vehicle instead of kitting the conversion, not enough hours in a day to do both.
The major change between the original "Chi Ha" hull and the "Shi-Ki" hull, was that the turret deckplate piece (AKA top of the hull), was actually raised about 2 or 3 inches higher on the "Shi-Ki". You can see it in the photos of the actual vehicle. I would have to check my references to get the exact height. One way you can tell is that there is one more rivit added and they are spaced farther apart.
I have several sets of plans and a few photos of the "Shi-Ki" if you are interested. I am planning to set up an area on the modelmecca.com site where you would be able to go to download such info.
Keep up the good work,
David |
