Thank you guys.
Hull is complete! :D Next I'm going to start working on the wheels and it is time to ask for help... I have the laser cut tracks for the Chi-He, but what color would be best suited to paint them? Mixing colors, weathering or other shenanigans are out of the questions as I have two left hands and all thumbs when the painting is involved :o I need something simple and relatively painless - open the can, paint the tracks, mount them

Ok. Contest is over, but my build is not :D
I would like to keep posting here to maintain continuity, but if mods think that it should be moved to regular thread in Armory, I will continue build there. Progress report: All wheels (except drive) are done and I started working on the suspension. As usuall, most of the wheels are larger than the parts that supposed to go around them, but I decided to let it go since white fields will be covered by the tracks anyway. I substituted paper part immitating spring with a one created from the 0.032" solder wire - much better look if I might say so

Suspension is done and all road wheels are mounted. I had to add extra spacer for twin road wheels to move them away from the hull or they would not allign with the outboard ones.
Next step - tracks

Oh My!
Michael workin' on a Tank! Sorry, I couldn't resist. :D And yes, you are doing your usual excellently clean build jobs on this one, just like every other model plane I have seen you work over. I will have to keep checking back on this one.

Somehow I missed your thread....
I like a lot what you've done so far. Very clean work and the wheels are superb! I'm looking forward to your updates.
