    Starting a new project while

    1) Matilda gets painted & weathered
    2) Type 16 gets painted & weathered
    3) Scammell Tank Transporter waits on a correct radiator

    so going with the Trumpeter Type 89 IFV. This MAY have digital scheme (or perhaps 3-tone grey normal camo) but will

    1) have full driver, turret & infantry interiors (well full being "based on 2 photos of the real thing and builds of similar vehicles - mostly the MENG Bradley)
    2) have the weak points removed (so the real thing has 7 firing ports but as many have noted these are just nice aiming points. As this is a "what if upgrade" I have got rid of them
    3) extra armour - not sure if this will be ERA or slatted as yet but the final decision can wait

    anyway this is where she stands
