Here's a little booklet that I got while I lived in Japan that's from a series of collector toys based on concept vehicles from World War 2. These small toy collections are available in convenience stores and cover diverse subjects like movie characters, historical subjects, and pop culture. I've seen them for Ray Harryhausen monsters, gladiators, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and armor of famous samurai.
The miniatures themselves are all various scales but were consistent in the high quality of paint jobs, decals, and overall finish. All of the text is in Japanese but I think they have some great ideas for paint schemes and markings. I've added links to Wikipedia articles about each vehicle in the captions.

What scale?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I think the Ratte was a couple of inches long but they're all scaled differently.
