Imperial Japanese Army 4x4 car Type 95 (Model 3)
Kurogane

Erwin BOVYN
As my Zero is nearing completion, I was looking for some kind of vehicle to put on show aside of it. A search on Evil Bay brought the recent release of this Kurogane car to my attention and the 1/72 scale kit was purchased.

The kit is only 5cm long and needs some cleaning up but all comes together rather good. The instructions could be a bit clearer, especially around the installation of the gas tank, but if this is not your firste (ACE) kit it works out fine.

Bottom, remark the very special and fine exhaust pipe.
Major downfall on the kit is the car's body that is split up in two halves. Due to them being very tiny it is rather difficult to glue them and keep them in position. Putty will be necessary at the rear of the car.
