[About the car]
-In World War II, the Japanese Navy developed and equipped with the cooperation of the Army as one of the equipment of the Land Squadron, and it is the special dual-type internal fire vessel (kami) of the amphibious tank.
-The base is the Army's Ninety-Five Light Tank, which is fully welded and has a rubber seal on the hatch.
-The turret uses a dual tank turret. The main gun was equipped with a 37 mm tank gun. The front and rear of the car are equipped with detachable floats to obtain buoyancy. The front float had an integral early type and a left / right split late type. The float was removed after landing and continued to advance as a regular tank.
-After being formalized in 1942, it will produce about 180 cars by the end of the war. It was launched for the first time in a battle in Saipan, and not only active in the south such as New Guinea, but also deployed and used on Leyte Ormock in the Philippines.
[About the model]
-The model is 1/72 scale, about 10 cm in total length. It is an assembled completed model that reproduces the amphibious tank of the Japanese navy, special dual-type internal fire boat (kami) with a float.
-The distinctive floats, of course, reproduce the late model, and the style with the Canning Tower Parts attached to the cupola when sailing on the water also features a unique shape. The unique style is full of feeling even in the palm size, and I look forward to the difference in expression depending on the viewing angle.
-Surface details such as floats and weld marks on body parts are delicately reproduced, and a sense of weight is also transmitted. In addition, the painting is also finished with reality and enough dirt and dry brush.
-Coloring reproduces the vehicle that was equipped in 1944 with the Navy of Lehigh Island Ormoc, Philippines. It would be fun to decorate the collection as it is, or to try to create a scene during a landing operation with a float. I am looking forward to the collection because the New Guinea Front specifications and the Kitasenjima garrison use that are different in coloring are also on sale.
