Tom I've only just got round to looking at these. Some very strange-looking vehicles here! Clearly they were relying on foreign imports until at least the early 30's. And what about the GB/Russian "Austin-Putilov" - some hybrid. The type 91 and Otsu B look just like how tanks were protrayed in cartoons, or any drawing or film by people who didn't know much about them, during the 30's
What has happened to all the beautiful photos of these Japaneese vehicles? They were appearing 2-3 months ago, but now they do not. Or am I doing something wrong? Regards Kaya Saydas
Seems Tom had either removed them from his site or changed their directory location as the source urls no longer work....hence no more pictures
