There is an M.V. collector in Texas who has converted a U.C. to a Japanese light tank. It was at the 60th anniversary of Iwo Jima event which was held in Fredericksburg, Texas which is the birthplace of Admiral Nimitz and where the museum of the Pacific is located. The event attracted over 50 real Japanese reenactors and drew well over 10,000 spectators! The batteries unfortunately died in my camera before I could get more pics of the tankette, here is the my sole shot of the vehicle behind some of the Japanese reenactors.


CHIMO!
