Does anyone else have the type 92 Tankettes from quality casting, aka 19th century minitures? Im really disappointed with the models and want to know if they are somehow incorrect or just poor sculpts? Link to the image here: link |

They really don't look like type 92's. I'm guessing it's just a poor representation. I've bought things from Battlefield 3D before and some of their newer models are very detailed. Here's what their type 92's look like: battlefield3d.com/product/type-92-jyu-sokosha-tankette-late It's a real beauty. The tanks I bought from them look just like the pictures. The tracks and running gear really have that level of detail. There's some little scrap bits remaining from the 3D printer that need to be cleaned up, but they end up looking beautiful. I'll be posting a picture of their Vickers Dutchman soon, you can see how the models paint up for yourself, if you like. |

Such a shame that the models are just dated. They look like Scifi Tanks. I might try and get my money back. |

I'm no expert, but those don't appear to be Type 92s. |

I've got to believe that you were sent the wrong model. I have some of their older models, and while some were very basic or kind of crude, none were simply completely dissimilar in every detail to the intended model. You could always identify at least the basic chasis, if not the sub-type. All of that said, I have no idea what is actually is, particularly after lookin at the products on their site. You might want to send them your photo, and ask them to verify that the model is their Type 92. |

@irishserb I was hoping to see if anyone here has the same model but it seems hard to find any information on it. Ive emailed them about a refund but ill Ask them now if they can confirm thats the intended model. |
