The pictures look to be Japanese type 90s

Spotted the japanese writing on the museum pics. Not a clue when it comes to oriental tanks other than the boom stick still points forward

You would be surprised 43...it actually came with a really nice figure...solid plastic ... slightly down scaled ..looks exactly like the figure that comes with the 1/16 Tamiya Type 10....and what is even cooler...there is a provision for it to be snapped into place in the cupola ....Why don't HL do that to all their tanks
The Cherry to the top is that the uniform on the figure almost matches the Chihatan commander's jacket...so modding the head should be easy

The objective is not to conceal the tank, but rather to confuse the enemy...then to induce crippling laughter in their ranks..

Made me wonder if the Officer that allowed the tank crews to do their own patterns got demoted
Looks like one group is thinking of bubbles...yes...the other crew spends too much time shopping...the one on the bottom...well...they are just sloppy ..spatters/drips/runs of paint all over the place....

My Japanese is pretty rusty....think it has something to do with evac area ...so something like "enter here"...not sure though...the characters on the bottom elude me
