Here is a more or less comprehensive description of my latest diorama in 1/72 scale: Burma, 1942 depicts an Imperial Japanese Army Nakajima Ki-27 Nate being serviced by a Toyota starter truck and crew, ready to take off for another mission against the Flying Tigers! 

Some friends asked me about the lights of the Toyota GB truck in 1/72 scale. I made them using a  very simple method that captures the textured lenses. It takes seconds, literally. Cannot be much simpler than that.

Long overdue, here is the promised article of my rendering of the Toyota GB starter truck - the ubiquitous vehicle found in virtually every Japanese airstrip before and during World War II. I used the very old Hasegawa kit in 1/72 scale.
