I hope this is the right place! Just picked up the Dragon Models Japanese Type 2 (Ka-Mi) Amphibious Tank Combat Version kit I have been wanting for so long but wouldn't pay what they were going for. Now to get the Dragon 1/35th Scale IJN Type 2 (Ka-Mi) Amphibious Tank Late to go along with it. (I used the 1/72 image because I think it's better than the 1/35) I sorta like the 'small' tanks like the Polish tanks and the Japanese armor. Jeff

I didnt even know the Type 2 Floating Pontoon Amphibious Tank existed till this kit came out. Looks like a fun project. Cheers, Gary

Hey Gary! The tank is the same in both kits, just the conning tower and extended telescope/periscope (lol) on the turret is what differs between the two. The floatation "ends" come off and hopefully I can depict that with the kit also. I also want to get the Ha-Go after seeing one in person in 2001. (same tank but has been repainted) Maybe the Fine Molds kit will offer the one piece tracks. Jeff

After doin the Shin-Hoto Chi Ha last year, i definitely want to do another type Jap tank. The Ha Go would lend itself to some sweet camo schemes id think.

That's what I took from this link: www.dragonmodelsusa.com/dmlusa/prodd.asp?pid=DRA6712" When used in water, two large pontoons were attached to the glacis plate and rear deck to give it a top waterborne speed of 10km/h. These pontoons could be shed as soon as it reached land."So a small dio WOULD be very interesting! Jeff

This IS interesting. I'm assuming the tank was propelled by props while in the water ? Kinda like the Sherman ?

Nice haul DB. That Horton looks um..... Unique and cool. Haven't heard or seen that before. Really? They even made a few shows on the History or Smithsonian channels about it. Anyway, I built one a few years ago in that same scale. Neat plane as it would have defeated radar. Jeff

Today was a great day... my wife texted me picture while I was still at work. Four packages waiting for me! I was like a boy on Christmas morning... left work immediately. Here's why I couldn't wait... figures & diorama stuff for my ongoing DUKW build. A base finally for my bust. I couldn't wait to put my bust on the base when I got home. Ordered from our sponsor Last Cavalry last week Dave managed to ship me the base that was out of stock so I can enter it into August MoM. Why not! Thank you Dave! Daggers were a gift from a friend. The uncle gave her husband a while ago but they were creeped out by them so they thought I'd appreciate the daggers as part my WWII collection. I know one is a Luftwaffe dagger. But for the another I am not too sure but maybe SS dagger? That part creeps me out little... I am not too keen about SS. Gonna learn more about those daggers!

THIS arrived today: Now remember that cunnung plan tohave it delivered to the inlaws? Well guess who forgot to tick the "alternative shipping address... But it just so happened that I'd finished up at work early today and was at home when the very nice postie knocked on the door (and SWAMBO was still in work )so after a quick drooling furtle through the box and the piccy, it was stashed away out of site to be brought out when I get my mancave up and running P

The daggers are interesting mate and it would be well worth checking their origin if possible. Having been at War and Peace revival in Kent last month, there were loads of Luftwaffe and SS daggers for sale, some were worth an absolute fortune. I know where you are coming from with the SS thing, it's kinda strange but so many at war and peace were highly attracted to all SS militaria and it was always very expensive. I did see a German paratroopers helmet, 100% genuine from the battle of Crete the vendor said and the price..............................£59,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
