Tamiya Type 90 MBT Reloaded

Here's another lost project from last year, Tamiya's type 90 MBT. I didn't get too far into the build before loosing the plot (something which happened quite a bit last year) But now my interest is back it's time to get it done! Here's where I left off last time readers,

One problem has reared it's ugly head and that's a missing part! the mantlet to turret cover no less. This is a rubber part which has obviously been eaten at some point by the carpet monster, the greedy bugger. This should not be a problem as I can easily make a new one from lead foil and plastic strip.
