Hello @ all Bralliescaler,

i´m searching for japanese WWII trucks in 1/72. There some in resin from the german company M.G.M, but not the best quality and for that to expansive. Also i know the Hasegawa in plastic.

Do you now perhaps another company who produce some IJA Trucks in 1/72? Like Nissan, Type 94 - 97, Typ 1 - 2 etc.

Thanks for your help.

I would recommend that your first stop for braille info always be On The Way!.

It looks like Hasegawa offers a Starter Truck Toyota GB and a Fuel Truck Isuzu TX-40 in 1/72.

Here is Pat Clark's review on the Toyota.

Hi Frenchy,

i know Takis website very well. Thanks for your help. But Taki have only few pics of trucks.

But there is no other site in the web? Or a other source like books or magazine for japanese trucks or military vehicles.
