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 ZIL-131 Modern Truck - Armory

1/144 ZIL-131 Modern Truck - Armory
Another Soviet Era vehicle from Armory, this promises to be an very detailed vehicle with clear and solid injected moulded parts, photo-etched parts and decals.

Interestingly the instructions show a number of sprue items not to be used in this build, so maybe we will see further variants? Due to the level of detail on this item, it lends itself to scratch conversions.

Multiple decal options are provided for Soviet, Ukrainian and Czech vehicles.
