THE KIT:
This kit comes in a cello bag held shut with a stapled-on header card. The card just says the name of the kit and gives Tamiya’s street address in Japan. There is nothing you could call a box art.
WHAT’S IN THE BAG:
The cello bag holds one dark green parts tree and the instructions.
The instructions consist of a single sheet in 8” x 5” format, printed on one side. It shows 3 illustrations for assembly and painting guides. The copyright date given is 1991 and the sheet was printed in Japan. A list of Tamiya hobby paint colors is shown, but just the XF numbers and the names of these colors is said only in Japanese and not English.
The single dark green parts tree holds: the standing soldier figure. He is posed holding the bike up with his hand on the saddle. He is divided up into separate full body and right arm.
The bicycle is divided into separate front and rear wheels with center section and seat, handle bars, peddles, drive chain and luggage rack. There is some field gear on the tree included of a shovel in its carrying pouch, 3 canteens, 2 sizes of canvas pouches, 3 gas mask canisters and a steel helmet (18 parts)
I highly recommend this simple kit. It will fit nicely into many diorama scenes.
