The design of this amusing, fictional tank is by Hayao Miyazaki, the famed director of such splendid animated films as My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Despite his image as a creator of family-fare featuring young heroines, he's actually quite a military nut. Bad Guy #1 had been released as a completed model, and now those of us who want to build it, can do so with this terrific release! Bego does some superb work here, including texturing and rivet detail. Three little piggy tank crew members are included (one of them's an officer!), to populate a diorama! Tracks are rubber belts with injection plastic spikes for traction. Polycaps for moveable parts are included, too (the finished model looks like a lot of fun!). The main part of the upper hull, molded in a single piece, measures about 17.5 cm long. Have fun -- and go crazy on the paint scheme!!
