Ok, I'm so happy to say it's the last WIP update.
Everything's completed. Now I have to apply woodworker's varnish which will strengthen whole model. Then I can paint it and attach the remaining parts.
Piece of cardboard shows colors I've choosed for camouflage.

I've changed the camouflage. Colors I showed you on cardboard looked bad on Ho-Ha. I have to repaint it again into a different camouflage with different colors. The worst thing now is that there wasn't enough paint inside the jar... So, I'll have to visit modeler's store for more and then continue. Definitive option will portray Type 1 Ho-Ha from Luzon Island, December 1944.

Type 1 Ho-Ha, Luzon 1944

It was a long way but it's finally finished. Took me six months to complete.

My model portrays Type 1 Ho-Ha from Luzon, December 1944. Paints used for camouflage are Pactra Dark Green, Tamiya Dark Yellow, Tamiya Flat Brown. Scale, like I said before, is 1/25. I planned to take pictures on balcony but there wasn't enough light. Eventually I placed my "movie set" inside the house. Thankfully I got the lamp with clear white light.

Scratch building is not easy but gives incredible satisfaction.

One word my friend: BRILLIANT!

You truly are a modelling craftsman in every respect K-man. Your grandad must be SO proud of you.

A fantastic job, it is magnificent, the camouflage is great. I know how difficult it is to build from scratch, before I built wooden boats, the satisfaction at the end is incredible. I imagine how you should feel with the result achieved. Very well done Kacper! !

Outstanding work, Kakper!

Superb craftsmanship, and the model looks very good with the jungle backdrop.

Well done!
