Tamiya 1/48 IJN Komatsu G40 Bulldozer
IJN Komatsu G40 Bulldozer (1/48) 32565
The Komatsu G40 Bulldozer was Japan’s first domestically produced bulldozer, developed during WWII to assist in airfield construction for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Built in limited numbers, only 148 units were manufactured and deployed to both northern and southern fronts. Due to logistical challenges, many never reached their intended destinations. Today, only one surviving example exists, preserved at the Komatsu Techo Center in Shizuka, Japan, and recognised as a Mechanical Engineering Heritage item by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2007.
- 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit
- Accurately detailed representation of the Komatsu G40 bulldozer
- Ideal for pairing with WWII Pacific theatre dioramas
- Captures distinctive functional design and construction features
- Perfect for modelers interested in engineering and support vehicles
The G40 marked a milestone in Japanese mechanical engineering, providing essential groundwork capability for military operations. Its historical significance and rarity make it a compelling addition to any WWII model collection.
