Started this little beauty last night, Tamiya's 1/48th offering of Japans latest MBT - the Type 10. Comes in a nice sturdy box with this great art work on the front of the box, when i was a lot longer i used to cut out the box art and use them as pictures and stick them to my bedroom wall!. Looking at the box top and real photos, i may end up removing the lower molded skirt and using some lead foil to create the flaps instead :/

Not many parts to this build;
first stages is to build the lower hull from 4 pieces - base, two side walls and an inner brace to square everything up, suspension arms are added next and no issues making sure they are all the same height as each arm also has a small peg to fit into a secondary hole so no guess work here. Next up is to add the small top wheels followed by making 10 sets of road wheels (my usual method - snip from the sprue, line up all the sprue points on the wheels, glue together and sand any sprue marks away). Wheels were then fitted and i used the single lower track run to make sure all was aligned.
