Is there ANY armored vehicles or towed artillery pieces in 1/144 scale? That’s the scale my gundams are in, and I’ve been wanting some tanks to go with 'em, but I don’t know of anyone who makes 1/144 scale armor, artillery, and such!
There are 1:144 scale armor available, but it is very hard to find, and very hard to paint!!! Armor Modelling Magazine from Japan sometimes features them.
Oh yeah, tons of 'em here. By Kaiyodo, called World Tank Museum. Very nice. Only WWII subjects so far. Too many to list (Tigers, Shermans, T-34s, JS-IIs, Stugs, Pz IIs, IVs, etc.)
Dragon has also jumped on the 1/144 bandwagon with a Tiger I. Tiger II, and Panther G.
These are sold at convenience stores for 250 (WTM) or 350 (Dragon) yen, and come with candy.
Nicely detailed!
They haven’t made it over the pond yet??
Hey Tench, Kaiyodo has also just released it’s JGSDF series. They are absolutely beautiful! Type 61, 74, and 90 MBTs, Type 60 recoilless rifle carriage, Type 87 AA Tank, and the AH-1S Cobra. 3 to 4 variations per vehicle type, too.
Has any of this great stuff made it overseas yet???
