Tamiya 1/48 new kit Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 10 Tank

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

A surprising new kit from Tamiya - a 1/48 scale modern Japanese tank which would scale well with 28mm Empress and Spectre figures.

That's a shame. Tokyo Tank Police has a certain ring to it!

I hope your new house doesn't have a gaming room

Now that is too far!!!

Take the piss about the size of my nose, insult my family, tell me my wife is a dirty stop-out, but NEVER wish that another gamer doesn't have a hobby room!!

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.

Warlord new special ops can be used to create some reaosnably good looking GSDF in 28mm, both special forces with HKs and paratrooper with Howa 89.

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.
