Hi, All! Has anyone noticed that TAMIYA has released #35341 WWII JAPANESE OFFICERS, yet? Four Figures of WWII Japanese Officers, 2 sitting, 2 standing... One of the standing officers, naturally, is pointing- Now all of those German "pointing SS Officers" have company...

I've seen them too. They look alright by modern standards to me.

Thank God, the IJA was suffering from a serious pointing officer gap. . .

They could have borrowed a bunch of those Loud-Mouth Pointing SS Officers at any time!!!

I've got 2 sets ordered. I'm going to convert the guy sitting and resting both of his hands on the hilt of his sword into "General Homma"; He will be wearing the Japanese Officer's Pith Helmet (scratch-built/sculpted) and he will also be wearing the Officer's Open Collar Tunic, with a White Shirt, with an open collar... Pretty simple...
