And we’re live.!!!
I had to swallow when I opened the box and looked at the kit…; an instruction leaflet. 3 sprues, some disfigured tracks, 2 hull parts and some yellowed decals.
Vintage 1974! With crude castings to prove it.
I compared it to the 1975 Type 97, which I am simultaniously doing for the Land of the Rising Sun campaign and the quality has increased dramatically!
Better castings, much better/less crude details and the Japanese figure looks like a figure, whereas the Italian one looks like a garden gnome corpse.
