Hello lepalba,
Thanks for those great pics. It's interesting to see the Morris C8 Quad there. Malaya perhaps?
Cheers,
Max

It is not Morris C8, but CMP FAT. After WWII, the British Japan occupation army brought CMP FAT to Japan. When they left from Japan, CMP FAT were sold to Japan and they were used by Japan police.

I see, so this photo was post-war then. Thank you for the correction Taki-san.

SB is the first attempt of swamp vehicle. It had fins at track links and extra tracks at the bottom of hull as shown on below sketch.

One prototype was built in 1933 and it was used in inundating area of North China in China Incident. But, it was too heavy (10 tons) and too large (10m long). SB ended with only trial and FB was developed after it.

Hi.

After 15 years of research around japanese vehicles I found some (not too good) pictures of some armored vehicles more or less unknown to me:

1.
Image
Type 95 So-Ki related?

2.
Image
my guess: one of the SR series amphibious tanks

3.
Image
absolutely no idea, maybe SR-II related. This vehicle should be from IJA as it can also be seen on a pic of an army parade in China

Further infos welcome.

Yours

tom! :wink:

1. It is the prototype of So-Ki. If you want to know more, buy J-Tank.

2. It is Experimental Amphibious Armored Car Sumida AMP.

3. I think that it is SR Ro-Go. See my twitters.
