Type 92 105mmHowitzer

Kit #72-A-14

By StephenBrezinski

Overall thekit is very very nice with sharp resin casting, good accuratedetail, and good fit of the parts. Suitable for war-gaming or astatic display. This is a much better Japanese artillery kit thanFujimi's infantry gun. This is the only kit of this in braillescale I know of. It is the motorized version but I know of notowing tractors in this scale. Either of Hasegawa's Japanesetrucks could be modified though. Substituting spoked wood wheelscan convert it to the horse drawn version. The carriage is thesame as the 75-mm Type 91 field gun so a little reworking of thebarrel can make an easy conversion.
