Is this your new painting style?

Some more references.... a Panzer IV perhaps ?



BTW this tank is 1/12 scale and I expect it to be HUGE - coming in 2015. Each figure is ~US$50 and tank should be more than US$150

A Hello Kitty paint scheme is definitely needed by K&C.

The Pz IV is from the Girls Und Panzer anime series.

From the wiki "It depicts a competition between girls' high schools practicing tank warfare as a sport."

...."The anime about high school girls fighting in tanks has certainly helped the JSDF ever since the anime made a collaboration video with them. Humikane Shimada, the artist responsible to the anime’s character designs even helped the JSDF out by drawing some recruitment posters."... {sm4}

Not good, the less militaristic the Japanese are the better.

I've seen versions of k&c models repainted to suit these various anime cartoons the seahund been a prominent piece that pops up. Next being the warplanes series, planes they pop up at comic con events.

Maybe that's how Germany could have won the war, by painting all there armour in this paint scheme the Allies wouldn't have wanted to destroy them! ^&grin
