Howdy all you JGSDF fans!
Here's a coupla pix of two JGSDF AFVs that were on display at the Shizuoka Hobby Show the other day.
This is the Light Armored Vehicle that is currently deployed in Iraq:
Tamiya also just released this vehicle in 1/35.
Next up is a Type 96 Wheeled Armored Vehicle (they calls 'em as they sees 'em!):
I'm not sure if the Type 96 is currently deployed in Iraq or not. Anybody know?
Mr. Tamiya was there looking at the vehicles, too. I asked him if there were plans to release the Type 96 in 1/35, and he just smiled and said he couldn't say...he always says that!
Anyway, I thought ya'll would enjoy some off-the-beaten-track armor for a change.
