1/144 Working Vehicles of the JSDF Series 003 - Tomytec


 

1/144 Working Vehicles of the JSDF Series 003 - Tomytec

A Japanese Twitter user has shared these images of  'Military' Vehicle releases, scheduled for 13/10/2022/

I think these must follow on from their assumed sucess of repackaging the Diotown range as "battlefield" buildings? 

So, here we see several military items collected from the 1/150 Diotown and Truck collection series (now in military colours) and repacked for release.

So the big question is the UH-2 helicopter which I suspect to be a new cheap mold?

1/144 PLA Armored Fighting Vehicle Unit Set I (Plastic model)

 



1/144 PLA Armored Fighting Vehicle Unit Set I (Plastic model)

The price seems expensive (maybe its currency conversions?) for 6x items?
The previous Sphyrna Models released in other scales (typically 1/700) have been in plastic, so its looks like that could be the case here?
Given the naming of this set Sphyrna Model maybe planning further 1/144 releases in this series?

--The set includes
  •  two 1.5-ton versatile light vehicles,

1/144 Unionist 13-inch Coastal Mortar - Heroes Models

 


1/144 Unionist 13-inch Coastal Mortar - Heroes Models

Heroes Models have produced another excellent diorama (see also their SE Asia Buddhist Temple that would feature nicely in a 'Vietnam' era diorama 1-144-buddhist-temple-ruins)

This kit comes with a range of mixed media items, including a wooden mortar base and even metal ball bearing to act as your mortar shot'! 

The figures are well cast and will test your eyesight to paint the piping on the collars and cuffs of the period uniforms.

Note: The diorama picture includes mounts and bases not included in this kit, but demonstrate the quality and level of detail you can achieve in producing a vignette in this scale! 

A ready to assemble resin model in 1/144 scale to represent the 13-inch Coastal Mortar called “The Dictator” used during American Civil War.

8 resin pieces 

- Two Unionist artilleryman figures, with a barrel 

- Laser engraved wood base

- Four metal mortar shells

- Information, assembly and painting guide.


Price: 9,00€ + Shipping.

The slight distortion on this image is due to my camera lens.

If you like the American Civil War period, keep an eye out for the forthcoming Mikr-Mir releases of the Iron Clad Monitor ships.

1/144 Combat Diorama Buildings - Tomytec


1/144 Combat Diorama Buildings - Tomytec


Another set of re-boxed/rebranded Tomytec Railway Diotown Collection buildings re-issued with a "combat paint job"


The original 1/150 Diotown collections is an ongoing project by Tomytec introducing new structures, and periodically reissuing older kits in new paint schemes, so even the items listed here may have been previously issued in various schemes.
https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=109&cat=&target=Series&searchkey=Dio+Colle.Combat

I think you may be better off finding one of the older issues on sale or ebay and weathering them yourself - however, if you want a quick solution.
