Title: Tamiya 1/48 new kit Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 10 Tank
Post by: Mick_in_Switzerland on June 29, 2016, 03:44:05 PM: A surprising new kit from Tamiya - a 1/48 scale modern Japanese tank which would scale well with 28mm Empress and Spectre figures.

Post by: carlos marighela on June 30, 2016, 08:23:22 AM: Yeah, saw that but with the exception of the Kriegspiel/ Eureka 'modern' Japanese range ,which are pretty tiny (26-27mm),there's nothing on the market to pair it with. Not that Japan is going to deploy tanks anywhere outside of Japan any time soon. Still, it might be a sign that Tamiya are branching out into moderns ( well actually re-entering the market, they already do a 1/48 HUMMV).

Fingers crossed.

If you feel like re-mortgaging your house that is. I think that Warlord Games plastics must be second only to saffron in terms of the cost to weight ratio. :)
