Honda Fit EVs are rare (only 1100 made), though I do see them here in RI every so often. This was the first time I had the opportunity to snap a pic of one, though. I was very excited to find it!
The kit and its assembly:
This literally small project had been lingering on my list for a while, but the Sixties Group Build at whatifmodellers.com in April 2024 made me start it, because if would fit thematically well and I already had the respective kit stashed away.
Effectively, this is just a “re-skinned” JGSDF Type 60 SPG, Aoshima offers a 1:72 scale kit of this rather obscure vehicle, and because it is so small the kit directly contains two of these tank hunters. I used this “offer” to mod the Type 60 with two stacked pairs of recoilless rifles as main armament, and I did some other small mods to change the vehicle’s look a little, like the light machine gun on the roof, the scratched smoke dischargers and a crewman who is actually a British WWII tank commander (but the uniform comes quite close to the early Bundeswehr style). However, I retained the Type 60’s overall shape, because it is so minimalistic that you can hardly change anything at all without compromising the concept. Still, it has a quite German look to it, so that I made a contemporary German tank hunter prototype from it.
A word about the Type 60 Aoshima kit(s): these were made with a good eye for details. For instance, the segmented styrene tracks are asymmetrical and reflect the staggered torsion bar running gear, and all hull areas which contain glazed sight slits are clear parts, just as front and rear lights. Even the interior is complete (even though you hardly see anything from it later, even though you can leave the engine cover open as well as the gearbox maintenance hatch on the front glacis plate). But with a gazillion of TINY bits and pieces, why must they have such thick sprue attachment points? The whole thing feels like a short-run kit. It is as good as impossible to clip the parts off of the sprues without either damaging the parts or requiring serious cleaning – not easy when the bits are 1-2mm in size only! Such a shame, because the kit as such is really excellent and otherwise goes together well, without need for PSR.
Painting and markings:
Well, the livery I settled upon is quite unspectacular, and there is no alternative to the Bundeswehr’s post-WWII uniform overall Gelboliv (RAL 6014) paint scheme, which was retained well into the Eighties and then replaced with the NATO-conformal three-tone camouflage in green, brown and black. On the other side, this typical style makes the vehicle easy to identify and its whiffy story more believable.
For Gelboliv I used Revell’s acrylic 42, which is authentic but IMHO quite light and saturated. I real life, vehicles painted in Gelboliv quickly faded into a muddy, greyish brown, and sun-bleaching on the upper surfaces was very common, too, so that I gave the model, after an overall base coat had been applied, a treatment with thinned Revell 46 (RAL 7003) and 87 (Dark Earth), and even mixed that with light grey (Revell 75) for horizontal surfaces to simulate this worn look. The interior of the vehicle was painted with Humbrol 41 (Ivory), an attempt to simulate the real RAL 9001 (Cremeweiss), with a grey engine block and transmission elements – even though there’s hardly anything to see from the latter once the model has been assembled. Another measure to add some diversity were simple small red dots on the wheel hubs.
Markings are minimal, I just provided the WT-105R with national markings, “Y” Bundeswehr registration plates, a tactical code and some standard stencils. After that a coat of matt acrylic varnish was applied.
To add visual excitement and hide some flaws (like the track segments) the model received dirt residues around the running gear, created with watercolors and mineral pigments. These were also used to simulate dust and mud crusts.
Nothing will describe better this session than the album cover... yes transformers, you did it! You stood at the top of the hill! Magnificent work guys, next week we're taking you to some stairs training, keep your calfs nice and warm... www.dangerouslyfit.com.au/

Quite difficult to fit this big bird completely in camera. Had a hard time shooting eagle, its flies fast so a closeup was very difficult.
