Type 95 Kurogane Scout Car

As I have declared this to be 'Car Month', I thought it was probably time to finish off the three Kuroganes I have had part-done for a few weeks now.  This is an interesting little vehicle and it is difficult to find much information about it.  I did, however, stumble upon this site: http://www.jsae.or.jp/autotech/data_e/1-8e.html which claims that the four-wheel-drive Type 95 dates from 1936 - four years before the Jeep!
The version in the photos has three (really) seats and is a metal model.  Sadly I have no recollection of which company made them and I've never seen it again.
Much of the delay in finishing was caused by painting suitable officer figures to accompany the cars, as I see them being used as division or even army level command elements.  Despite only needing three officer figures I (predictably) ended up painting enough infantry for an entire division.  But more of that later. 
So here then are the three very different officers and their cars. 
Perhaps readers would like to name their favourite?  I'm going with Officer 2.

Officer 1 - in control and reflective

Officer 2 - in control and dynamic

Officer 3 - out of control and mental
