Following the wave of Japanese armor subjects from Fine-Molds and a more tentative approach from Dragon, a newly-tooled Styrene set of Japanese AFV Crew in 1/35th was sorely needed. Here''s MiniArt's response.

I have a type 97 with an open hatch, just waiting for this set. Hopefully it won't be long before it reaches the shelves.

These sets that for some reason has been neglected by many other companies, are most welcome.
This set looks really great, and will surely open up for some dioramas and vehicles we havn't seen much of.

Thanks for the review

Another useful set, it is great to see tank crews appearing for all the major countries in the conflict.

Curses, I just bought one of the Finemolds sets. Oh well, can't have enough IJA tank crews, I'll be picking this up for sure. Probably two or more...

Not my thing at all, but it does show inventiveness and originality on the part of MB, and I am sure PTO fans will be elated.
