Type 96

Strelets Type 96.  Note the location of the two sights.  Hard to tell on the instructions.

Enlarge the photo and look on the trails at the center of the wheels.

The little knob goes up! Same on both sides.

The little gun mount piece in the center is flat on top so the gun fits right.

Finished second gun.

There are four guns in this set, an excellent value.

Japanese Type 96 Gun

Strelets WWII Japanese Type 96 anti-aircraft / anti-tank gun.

This is a dual purpose 20mm gun.

Comes in soft plastic and no flash.

1/72nd scale and the guns fit together really well.

Instructions are vague, so study the photos really carefully.

Several of the parts will fit even upside down!  Still a good little model, four in a set.

Samurai Robot Squad

It's 1947 and the Americans have finally invaded Hokkaido. 

The flamethrower men and the Samurai Robot Squad are called to the front.

They are forced to burn their own city to prevent it from falling into American hands.

Despite the new robots and the failure of the American atomic bombs two years ago, the war continues to go poorly for Japan.

It is rumored that the Americans have resolved with problems with their atomic bombs and they could be employed soon.

Even the Samurai Robot Squad won't be enough to stop them if those rumors are true.

Japanese Attack with Mortar Support

Japanese heavy mortars to the rear.

Supporting Japanese paratroopers.
