[About actual vehicle]
- One of the amphibious vehicles developed by the Japanese Navy of World War II is the Japanese Navy's special four-type internal fireboat [katsu].
- It was developed mainly for supply and transportation to the front line.
- The body with a total length of 11 m and a width of 3.3 m is equipped with crawler tracks and equipped with an air-cooled diesel engine.
- The body itself was designed to have buoyancy, after navigating the water on its own, it was possible to land and land the vehicle.
- The crew had five people, loading capacity of 4 tons, was supposed to transport soldiers and goods.
- The formula was adopted in 1944. It is said that 18 were produced by the end of the war.
- From April to May of 1944, a special four-type internal fire-fighting boat [Katsu] approached the US Navy ship of Marshall nest surrounded by atolls, approached offshore by a submarine, followed by a torpedo and landed on the atoll from the sea , A surprise attack strategy of overcoming this and invading the bay, causing a lightning stroke, [Tornado Operation] was also considered.
[About the model]
- The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the [tornado operation] state on which the torpedo was mounted on the amphibious car developed by the Japanese Navy during the Second World War, a special four-type internal boat [katsu] on 1/35 scale.
- Equipments such as torpedoes are added based on the usual type [Katsu] kit based on a unique shape and mechanism that accurately reproduces and gains high evaluation.
- The equipped 45 cm torpedo is reproduced sharply with a new metal mold. You can not miss details such as screws.
- Of course, bracket parts that wear torpedoes also firmly modeled on the deck.
- In addition, a machine gun equipped on the deck was prepared with new parts. The detail of the deck already familiar already with normal type stands out further.
- The hull and the lower part of the car body are precisely reproduced by integrally molding with a slide mold.
- The belt type DS track is adopted as a crawler belt.
- Finished model with a total length of about 30 cm is more powerful with torpedo equipment.
