It's all in Japanese but Sembado (a store in Japan) has photos of the new Finemolds injection molded Type 92 Heavy Combat Car (it's a light tank) and Type 90 75mm Field Gun. http://www.sembado.com/ |

Is this Finemoldes or Pitroad? Hopefully it is Finemolds that way it will be much more avaiable. Ed  |

My bad.
Actually sometimes Pit-Road kits come out under the Trumpeter brand (JGSDF Type 82 CCV, JGSDF Type 87 RCV, JGSDF Type 89ICV). |

Yep, these two are from Pit Road. Mine just shipped from Hobby Search this morning. Hobby Search has the entire Pit Road "Grand Armor" 1/35 series. They're coming out with some fantastic stuff! |

Nope. Trumpeter kits are marketed under the Pit Road label in Japan as a way to side step the Japanese dislike for anything Chinese. |

Ah. I was hoping it didn't extend to the hobby. I'm of Japanese descent. I remember my mother telling me that a childhood friend of mine had wed, then lowered her voice (don't know why - there was just my mother and I) and whispered "She's Chinese" and made a face. *sigh* |

I'm really hoping for a Type 89 Otsu and a Type 2 Ka-Mi. |

Me too! I love IJA armor and buy everything I can get my hands on. I was lucky enough to get a resin Type 89 Otsu from Japanese Armor King during the short production run, but I never had the money for the Airedale Castings Type 2 Ka-Mi while it was in production. I have everything that Pit Road and Fine Molds makes. The Type 89 and Type 2 would certainly be welcome from either of these fine manufacturers. |
