1/144 Working Vehicles of the JSDF Series 003 - Tomytec

 

1/144 Working Vehicles of the JSDF Series 003 - Tomytec

A Japanese Twitter user has shared these images of  'Military' Vehicle releases, scheduled for 13/10/2022/

I think these must follow on from their assumed sucess of repackaging the Diotown range as "battlefield" buildings? 

So, here we see several military items collected from the 1/150 Diotown and Truck collection series (now in military colours) and repacked for release.

So the big question is the UH-2 helicopter which I suspect to be a new cheap mold?

 1/144 Ground Self-Defense Force Type 87 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SGK07) - Pit Road

The Type 87 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun equipped by the Ground Self-Defense Force and was formalized in 1987. One Oerlikon 35mm KDA anti-aircraft gun is mounted on each side of the turret, and an enemy search / tracking radar is mounted on the upper surface of the rear part of the turret, providing excellent shooting capability. The undercarriage uses the body of the Type 74 tank, and has the mobility to accompany the armor department.

1/144 JSDF GSE by Kuugun Koushou (Shapeways)

1/144 JSDF GSE by Kuugun Koushou  (Shapeways)

An interesting modeller has appeared on Shapeways trading as Kuugun Koushou ("Airforce Arsenal"), whilst majoring in JSDF GSE items, there is also provision scope for some USAF and RAAF itesm. Euro dioramas could also be catered for due to the compatible nature of European and Japanese styling of light trucks.

Sadly the store is not open fore sale currently, but it will be an interesting one to watch!?

We have previously looked at the Cobra AH-1J & AH-1G see => Here

Now, the third in the series to be produced by Miniwing the AH-1S.

This should be a delight to JSDF(Japanese Self Defence Force) and IDF (Israeli Defence Force), as this more comes with decals options for both.

As is expected, the kit in nice and cleanly produced and nicely scribe panel lines and a good shape.
