This looks like a very nice kit of a very interesting subject. More Japanese armor!

I wish it was 1/35 but it could be good. Not much info about it though.

Oooooow ahhhhhhhh. Me like although not in 1/72.

Looks like IBG's display model builder also had problems with IBG's modern day medieval torture device - their tracks!

Their website has another early variant listed in 1/72 as well. They seem to start a lot of things in 1/72 and then move up to 1/35. There could be hope.

FineMolds already makes a 1/35 Type 89. You just have to buy it under the "Girls Und Panzer" label.
