Initially I wanted this to be a low budget projekt. Well the early tracks cancelled this. 50,-€ for two Friul tracks. Usually you pay this for one Drgon tank so the costs are fair still.
What an imposition to thread this tiny parts together. I used up four days of cursing and despair to do the four tracks.



Finished!



Meanwhile I prepared the baseplate for number 11. I used the same stuff as for the Zimmeri. It's light and cheap.

 
As I told you number 02 dosn't need inner detail in the hull because the turret overhang covers the hatches.



To make things even more easier I blackened the solid bottom of the Nichimo and added a rudimentary gun breech. The round screens are from upused water strainers the others are fotoetch parts.



Ready to mount.



Back to number11. Have to remove one or two track links it's too flimsy. the exhaust pipes are special for this early cats.



The nightfighters of the army? I usually cover my tanks with black primer.



 
Some more pics.





Now in warpaint:
The tracks aren't made for the Nichimo dinosaurs and will need much adjustment when placed on the vignette.







And number 02:







 
The turret numbers were made by combination of a selfmade template and the good old brush.















A little playing around with black and while on an aproppriate background.





This was last year aropund the same time. Hope I could reanimate this two old dinosaurs.
