Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the Japanese Komatsu G40 engineer bulldozer in 1:48 scale from Tamiya. The model faithfully captures this unusual subject, including a well-worked chassis, the driver's controls and a multi-part blade with its hydraulic linkage. A seated driver figure is also included. It belongs to the 1:48 military miniature line and will work well in a diorama with an airfield theme. Check the actual package contents against the manufacturer's part number for this item.
The Komatsu G40 was the very first Japanese bulldozer built in series. It came about for the needs of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which used it mainly in building airfields that until then had been built largely by hand. The machine was powered by a gasoline engine and was fitted with a hydraulically operated blade. Only a small number were built, and they went to engineer units on the northern and the southern battlefields of the Pacific.
First assemble and paint the chassis and the controls, and only then finish the blade and its hydraulic linkage. Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic. Apply a primer and the paints with an airbrush, and accentuate the recesses with a wash. A working machine suits pronounced weathering: dust and mud pigments on the tracks and the blade, and perhaps hints of chipped paint.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
