Ww2 Japanese tank recommendations please

Post by Tfoil »

I have started to build more tanks and really enjoying them so have decided to make a ww2 Japanese tank kit for the PTO (also building the Eduard sbd). I bought the dragon 1/72 type 95 thinking it would be a fun little build but there's very few parts. As its a PTO kit I'd like some good detail. Anyone know of any good kits that won't damage the bank too much! I'm open to US tanks too but would prefer a Jap one!
Thanks
Happy modelling!

With 1/72 scale dragon kits you can normally not go wrong. Their Jap tanks seem to be fine. Only have a 1/35 scale version of the type 95 in my stash, though.

The kit looks good quality but theres very little building involved. Thats a problem for me as I enjoy the building aspect more than the painting!
Love your work!

1/35 scale maybe? More building, more detail, but also more expensive. Looks awesome on the shelf, though :)
