After the transport version of the Type 4 Ka-Tsu now the torpedo-armed version is available, depicted just as they would have appeared during Operation Tatsumaki.

Finally. I have been hoping for this since Dragon announced the transport version
Now what else could we be wishing for? Maybe some German WWI or modern Russian or more trucks ...

Maybe the Japanese designers had a look at the German drawings and decided to make something that was less fancy and easier to produce

I’d buy the deck mounted gun if I could on its own...the AA gun options for Japanese 1/35 is almost non existent.I already purchased some AA guns from Shapeways and had to sell one of my children to pay for them.....lol.

Jason Pit-Road announced a 1/35 25mm triple AA and it looks fantastic!

On a side not is there any time frame to the Ka-Tsu's release?
