Nice camouflage - but don't smoke in that thing!
I imagine striking a match, or dropping hot ash, inside this heavily camouflaged Japanese military vehicle could lead to interesting consequences.
I remember reading that during WWII the Germans would hide tanks or anti-tank guns in stacks of hay. After falling for it once or twice. US tanks would shot WP into every hay stack just because there might be a gun or tank inside it.
Having a big stack of green in a barren field is not camouflage.
how about a miniature version to sweep my kitchen floor?

ReplyDeleteIt's good to see the Japanese military turning over a new leaf.
