This is one of the early TGM sets being RS001 - Type 2 Ka-Mi Japanese Navy Amphibious tank, only 100 released World Wide, I scored this from Brett several years ago.

Interesting photo of Aussies with #602 etc.

Are'nt these tanks the models with the big float/ballast sections that fit to the front and back when running in water?
did they include those?

 

[OzDigger]

Nope, the model didn't include the extra float sections, same as the photo with the Aussie troop above.

Just checked my TS catalogue and yes I have one. I also have a Thomas Gunn Japanese self propelled gun thingy.

Apparently RSO35C is the self propelled gun code.. Suspect that is sold out as well?

Shows you the value of getting the TG vehicles when you can, particularly when there are only 100 produced. I am looking forward to getting the latest piece of German armour coming to Devon soon!

TGM released Three colour variants of the Type 1 Ho-Ni I self propelled gun/tank destroyer. I didn't buy any as they didn't see much use outside of Japan. They are still relatively easy to buy on ebay etc, the TGM amphibious tank is much rarer imo.

You are a man in the know.

Not sure what variant I have as its on storage in New Zealand but will dig it out one day. Are other TG vehicles rare.

As for planes I gave the first plane they released, a German FW, before they got into the wonderful wooden warbirds.

I never seen the before,even on Ebay.
Oh boy, TG makes some great AFV's, that make the backbone of my collection, well the short one still with only 9 vehicles, but I am patient !!
