Hi,

I've seen this article and photo of this tank, apparently it was a prototype only (no funding for upgrades). The guy scratchbuilt the conversion and I think I saw line drawings somewhere. If Takashi or another Japanese modeller can't help you, let me know and I'll have a look.

Cheers,
Christophe

Well thank you for de info and i'll be waiting for any help
best regards.

That example work was carried by ArmourModelling Vol.18 ( 1999 December issue).
Mr. Ashino scratched some addition parts by him on that Type74G. (Those are not parts on the market).

The article of the real tank was carried by Panzer No.271 (1995 December issue).
These 4 Type74G is manufactured, and deployed in unit of Fuji now.
