It’s been a long time since my last post life has been very busy.
Thank you CapnMach82, rcguy, Tojo and stik.
Stik, the photo you posted was the vehicle that I was trying to replicate when I first started the project. Till I realized the Tamiya instructions for the markings are wrong. The one in the photograph has a white circle marking with nothing in the middle and the Tamiya markings have another white circle in the middle with a blue square. From digging around online it’s supposed to belong to the Kyushu island home defense then.
The available information/photos for the Type 1 is very hard to find. If I recall only 124 were made and the majority stayed in Japan some were sent to Philippines were most them were sunk in route.
