Job done, Not too bad for my first ever 28mm tank.

Very nice, with clean camo stripes - although I admit I find it hard not to like any Chi-Ha, this is a good one   8) 8) 8)

Very nice indeed. I remember making and actually painting the Airfix one when it first came out. Fond memories.

Cheers for the compliments, I wish these resin ones where as cheap as the old airfix ones but at least I don't have to use the silly rubber tracks the airfix ones came with.

Would you mind sharing what colours you used?  

Of the top of my head
I used a mixture of mp miniature paints bottle green, with a bottle green/olive green mix for highlights for the green sections

vallejo english uniform for the base followed by a mp paints khaki along with a very watered down black paint wash over it all.

red-brown was tamiya and I added a little burgundy to it for highlights

 stripes where vallejo beige and the gun barrel was english uniform and leather brown mix and gun metal was gunze black steel.

The order I did it in was english uniform base, tracks, green base, gun barrel, khaki, red-brown, highlights, black wash and stripes

I may have used some other paints but I really cannot remember exactly waht they where, Hopefully this helps.

Thanks - got one of these in the 'to do' pile, and was wondering how to tackle it...
