WWII Japanese medium tank Chi-He

Done!
Thankfully I've found a flashlight with magnet. Sometimes it's worth to check our drawers and tool boxes.

Ok, let's go back to Chi-He...
Model was really enjoyable, nicely designed. As I said before, I resized(to 1/72; measured today) and repainted it. What's more, I had to make headlights from scratch because they were not included in ABC kit.

Another unusual thing I did on this tank is the edge coloring... With gunmetal/steel acrylic paint...
Colors of this Japanese camouflage are probably unobtainable.
Initially, I had painted some edges brown and green but they looked awful. Paints totally didn't match. Then, an idea with gunmetal/steel came to my mind. Something like a scratched paint imitation.

And just a few words about photos...
My old favorite "Pacific background" but this time, with new terrain.
