This is the one i used for one of my Korean dioramas, it's a great little kit to build, not too much trimming and sanding to get things to fit.

some nice detail on it to enhance in painting too.

Nice start mark, will have me old eye on this as you go along.

I love these wee beastie light tanks. I've got the M3 version by Academy, but always been on the look out for this one! Will be watching with interest

the good thing about tam kits they are so easy to build and very quick especially these older kits
 
I think you will find that all the Tamiya army kits are called miniature series. That particular one is a small tank. I have the Honey parked next to a Challenger.....which dwarfs it!

It looks like you got it nailed together quickly enough. I will look forward to seeing the finished build.

bit more work today want to add some stowage and mud next. My airbrushes are taking a hammering one tip busted off when putting it back another got the needle tip broke off inside so I am down to one working airbrush from my 3 cheap ones. Time to invest in a badger me thinks.

Well second tank and second attempt at a diorama but it came out ok in the end. Many thanks to the other chaps on the forum for the idea of using a grape stalk for woodland its only a small diorama but I think it goes well with the tank and crew. Hope you like it .

Thank you mobear I made the base a bit small but next time I will make a bigger one with more going on. Adding figures and some landscaping is a lot more fun. :)
