Some pictures of a recent project - construction, painting and aging of a 'LVT-(A)1' from the manufacturer Dragon (item number 7387).
For the diorama I will probably use the figures 'Japanese Army Aviation' from the manufacturer Orion (item number ORI72010R).
The diorama tells us the history of the battle 'Saipan' in June 1944. A wave attack of the US army was repulsed by the Japanese. One 'LVT-(A)1' has received several hits in the engine compartment. The drive falls out. The team can escape uninjured. However, the tank must be left behind with engine failure. A few days after the fight japanese soldiers examine the wreck and the effect of their own weapons.
Since I am still not 100% sure with the planning, I have not applied the impacts of the projectiles on the tank. If you want, you can tell me what you think of the planning. I would be glad about suggestions and criticism.
Pictures of the construction and the painting of the base as well as the painting of the figures come as soon as possible.
Enjoy the photos of the tank!
