Orion Japanese Tank Crews

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2024/12/japanese-tank-crew.html

I have most of the Strelets WWII Japanese but Orion makes the tank crews.

It is so nice to have such variety thanks to these great companies.

1/72nd scale figures, 1/87 scale vehicles.

Japanese Tanks

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2024/12/type-97-chi-ha-medium-tank.html

HO scale 3D printed Japanese medium tank painted green overall.
Japanese tanks were well made but just behind the times in tactical thinking and tank design.
Weak guns, thin armor and so they did poorly against the UK, US and USSR.

More Trucks

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2024/12/new-truck.html

Three trucks, canopy up. canopy down, and 3 axle version.

WWI and Interwar US Army. Probably based on a Mack truck.

Trucks like the 3 axle truck could carry a light tank, or tow heavy artillery.
Light tanks were only 6 tons and had a top speed of about 6 miles per hour. So long distance travel by truck or train was a must.

Truck and Cargo

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/

Truck and Cargo for the US Army in my 1918 / 1938 forces.

This is my large conversion truck, for carrying tanks!

WWI and Interwar tanks were usually very slow and so they were carried on trailers or on trucks to go long distances. It also saved wear and tear on the tanks since they were maintenance intensive.

Pick Up Truck

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2024/12/pick-up-truck.html
Christmas Time is a good time to spot cool little vehicles that may help fill in gaps in your collection.
I got this little truck at Hobby Lobby a couple years ago and found the mother lode of them this year.
Some are still soaking in the paint remover.
