Does anyone know what the symbol next to the Japanese flag on the front glacis of this Type 95 tank stands for?

This tank belonged to the 3dr Company of the 14th Tank Regiment…

Frenchy,

Thanks for the info.

I’m building a Type 95 from the 3rd Co, 14th Tank Regiment, Malaya in 1941/42. I’m curious as to what the symbol shown as decal #10 stands for. Is it a company or regimental marking? And, would that same marking have been used in 41/42 by this same unit?

Looking for something along the lines for the 14th tank regiment in 41/42 similar to those from the 4th & 7th tank regiments:

Thanks!!

Decal # 10 is the marking for the 3rd Company. I guess it’s specific to the 14th Tank Regiment…

Here you’ll find Company markings for other tank regiments :

No changes mentioned between 41/42 and 44…
