Found an interesting upcoming/new release from Dragon on their website, and something interesting for Japanese Army fans.

Thanks!

Hey Kevin, thanks for the heads up. Would be nice as Japanese stuff is so hard to find. One thing I have noticed about Dragon is they have several non-export kits. Question is why. Do they feel there is no market outside of Japan or what. Doesn't make any sence to me. Kind of hard to do W.W.2 dio's with Japanese equipment when it isn't available. And what is around is not much, though a company is releasing some figures and feild guns but I can't remember who it was. Now if Dragon is listening, they have one set of I.J.A. figures, how about some more. It's an open market out here.

I just hope that they don't go the route of pricing that we normally see for 1/35 WWII IJA subjects.

It would be nice if it came with DS tracks too.

Me want me want me want! The field gun is very intriguing; "Pistol Pete" perhaps!?

I would really like to see this released here in the US. I do want one very much. I thought the field gun was the 75mm mountain gun, to be released by Fine Molds. It looked like they had gun crews in progress as well. All are welcome releases.

Nice to see some Japanese WWII stuff from DML. Pit Road, Fine Molds and Modelkasten are producing some nice stuff too. The yen is so high against the $ that the prices are somewhat inflated. www.hobbylinkjapan.com has reduced the prices of some of these kits and they are really a bargain. http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?GenreCode2=Mil&Dis=2&qid=ZZMY7BM40Z5D&Word2=japanese&q=1&DisplayMode=images&Word=japanese&z=GenreCode2|Word2&set=1&gb=

I'm glad we're getting some variety.
