We met these guys at a border crossing from Kuwait to Iraq. Japanese Defense Force. They did not speak english at all but we got to poke around on the truck. I don’t know what it is and haven’t seen a model of it yet. Anyone else?

Doesn’t Tamiya make one?
Boomer…
Yeap. Tamiya does offer this particular vehicle in 1/35 scale.
This Tamiya kit, no. 35275
I built one when I still lived in Massachusetts, that was 2004.
T26E4,
Did you model that to the very picture or what, angle and everytingh perfect.
It is like ‘Find 5 mistakes’, and so far I can only see 3 [:o)]

kg4kpg: Here’s a photo I took of that model displayed at the IPMS Nationals in Anaheim…it was really good…I think it won an award:
Are you in the military overseas? If so, thank you for your service, sir. If I can drum up some support here on the forum, let us buy that kit for you as a small token of our gratitude. Do you have model building supplies?

Wow, Tamiya really got that one right! I wouldn’t mind having a real one. No need to get anything for me, I imgine there are several super soldiers who are members here. I am not overseas right now. I’ve done 2 tours so far and hope to retire before my next one. If I gotta go, I gotta go. But I’m hoping my next trip will be as a Warrant Officer, packet interview this coming weekend. Anyway, awesome model, I can’t tell a difference.
Hi Svenne: no that picture is from the Tamya site. Not my work.
