Little more progress. Added exhaust(pipes are old cable) and handles(aluminum wire). Exhaust covering will be attached at the end, after painting.

Nicely done, more to this than seemed at first.

WIP for today.
All exterior details are attached, except exhaust covering and headlight glass. They must be attached at the end, after painting. Tomorrow I'll start interior. First thing I want to do are Type 99 or Type 96 LMGs. In 1/25 scale there won't be probably any differences between them. They used only different cartridges, 6.5mm for Type 96 and 7.7mm for Type 99. Barrels in this scale will be the same.
Theoretically, I should make Type 97 tank machine guns(most of sources state that they were standard armament of Ho-Ha), but I think that Type 99/Type 96 is "more Japanese"...
It's just my personal preference and I think it's historically accurate too.

Planned LMGs are finished. Took me 6 hours to make them.
I'm also attaching a daylight photo of Ho-Ha. More WIP soon.

It was worth the time it has taken you, they have been great, very well done Kacper

Added frames for tarpaulin(which I'm not gonna do). I prefer option with LMGs attached.
I got some interior parts prepared for tomorrow. I'll use the same material my grandfather used on his Sd.Kfz.222.
