Hey brother!!! Thanks--- but thats kind of the ideal!!! 99% of Banzai attacks happened at night when you cant really tell whats going on!!! I thought the flare would give you some ideal of whats going on and the confusion of what it must of been like!!!---RED---

Well you nailed it then my XD brother.
nice, Red. I've always had a fascination with banzai charges, kamikaze attacks etc....it's quite a thing for someone to do...and those that carried them out were far from being mindless automatons, just had type of remarkable courage. (btw check out the japanese kamikaze movie i posted about in the off topic forum).
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Hey yall!!! Thanks for the comments --- it great to get yalls fed back!!! Hey PANZERTRUPPEN!!! Yes you are correct but I did a little custom work on Dovchenko and turned him into a Japanese officer!!! I will admit it was hard to get the lighting just right so you could see what is going on but have enough darkness for it to still look like it is night time!!!I think it turned out pretty good and I learned alot form this dio--- so I might do a few more night dios!!!---RED---panzertruppen wrote:Great! Is there an Indiana Jones Dovchenko figure I see amongst them?

You've got another winner there Red... I love the night effect, the Japanese were quite fond of night attacks, although for the most part they weren't usually any more successfull than their daylight attacks.

Thanks little brother!!! The palm trees are a real palm plant that I dig up in some wood at a friends hunting/shooting land!!! It had about 3 stocks on it that I just cut into about 7 or 8 trees and let them dry out!!!You might be to far North but next time your in the woods look around for some of these plam plants---I was down around Macon,GA when I found this one!!!---RED---flyboy_fx wrote:what did u use as palm trees
