scratch building 1/35 IJN armor interiors

Hello all. I just bought the 1/35 Fine Molds type 95 tank kit. I am an avid aircraft detailer and builder.

To my chagrin, this kit does not have an interior and I was wondering if anybody knew of any reference material that I could use as a basis for scratch building an interior.

thanks

Also, try Google-Image and use “Japanese Type 95 Tank Interior” for the keywords…

Mike: guess I’m a little late here but if you’re still reading this you might check ‘Japanese Tanks 1939-45’ by Steven Zaloga and published by Osprey.

There is a cut-away painting of a Type 95 in the centerfold* section. It’s not the greatest detail but it does show the general layout of the interior. Plus the book is worth what I paid for it beyond that. It’s a very good reference to Japanese armour.

*(Personally I’d rather see a centerfold of Kumi Mizuno but that’s neither here nor there…)
