Does anyone know what this tank/tankette is? I have always likes the idea of this for a dio, but it would help to know what it is.
TIA

Fine Molds TK tankette is kit number FM-17. Like all FM kits, it is of high quality and will make you wonder why they just make obscure WW2 Japanese tanks.

Okay, now that I'm armed with that info, where can I get an interior for the lil' thing? Be it from pics or of an actual kit?
I probably wouldn't need too much of one, info wise- the turret and hull could be shown chared.

I think we have one in our collection at the Memorial. I can check tommorrow on our database and/or ask one of our technology curators.
