fmatthews Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I first visited Aberdeen Proving Grounds’ armor museum when I was 9 years old in the 1970s. Over the years, I visited several times. In 1994 and 1995 after I’d gotten back into tank modeling, I took many reference photographs. Right after visiting in 1994, I bought Tamiya’s 1978 release of the Type 1 SPG as I’d shot 15-20 detail shots of the APG example and was keen on building it. 23 years later, I finally found my old photos as well as the time and motivation to build it and settled on finishing it like it appeared at Aberdeen in the 1990s when I took the photos. The kit was built “Old School” only with parts and techniques available in the 70s. Much of the interior was scratchbuilt. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
