Japanese tank crew - part 1

The staggering output from the little corner of South Yorkshire which is forever Japan continues!
This is - as far as I can recall - the first Fine Molds kit I have encountered. I was prompted to buy it by the need for some crew figures for a couple of tatty 1/35 Japanese tanks I have awaiting my attention.
The moulding is very neat and the fact that the parts take a bit more cleaning up than Tamiya figures is hardly a serious criticism. The one legged officer is the result of my own surgery as I need him to fit into a turret hatch. The two seated figures are destined to admire the view from atop an SP gun.

    "Legless in Sheffield" didn't they make a film about that?
