I saw that Bronco has a K-63, or rather several versions out. I thought of doing a PAVN version or Chinese version, but could use for information.

They are very great kits,but with the tiny parts and photoetch it is not for beginners.I do believe there are some more in depth reviews in the review section.

I immediately thought of the Imperial Japanese Type 2 Ka-mi tank, though it probably doesn't work on the same principle.

I have one in stash and was thinking of doing it with some of the Paracel figures that I bought recently. Wayne

I guess they're both designed the same way. This variant has been modified with flotation cells fore and aft and an outboard motor. Maybe the difference is that the Ka-mi flotation cells could be jettisoned. I'm not sure it's the case for this Type 63 variant Type-63C ?) :





The same front flotation cell has been fitted to the Type WZ701 command variant as well :

Heh, heh, wonder if THIS type was used in Tiananmen Square in 1989...
