Hey Red, I do believe Figarti makes one, but if you have to ask how much it costs...you can't afford it.

but seriously...I think they go for about $100 per copy...OUCH

I think K&C may offer one also, but I'm not certain about that.

there are a couple of paper models of japanese tanks. They're 1/25 scale but can be resized to any scale you want. If you're thinking of making your own, that would be a good way to go as all the measurments are done for you.

Try looking here both under current releases and out of print releases. There are at least 2 that i know of.

Red, I bought an injection molded Chi-ha that is roughly 1/32. It is in line for customization. You can check out the thread here:

Man I hope thats 1:32! Looks kinda 1:72ish though. Give my Shermies some easy pickens for a change!

AT only makes 1/72 armour..to this point anyway. Jason has hinted that they are bringing out new product lines this year...maybe 1/32 is in the cards for them?

I am still waiting for the Val. Or Kate. Whichever we will not see. I think AT could blow the doors off 21C and BBI with quality if they wanted to.

No offense 21C or BBI, love your stuff.
