Takom have today released news of a limited edition of the Mk A Whippet in the works aimed at the Japanese market. In these days of international internet orders I am sure some of these will end up being built outside of Japan
This new Whippet from Takom will feature type 3 heavy machine guns and will have a Japanese figure included. I believe from the provided information that there will be two sets of Japanese specific markings for the model along with eight offerings already included in the main release and so will have ten finishing options.

Just saw that the kit is up for pre-order on the HLJ site (USD 50.31 or S$68). Anyway, I have bitten the proverbial bullet and put my pre-order in ( British, German, Russian and Japanese marking options are too tempting to pass-up ).

This is just a special version of the Whippet and they will release a regular one as well, right?

Yes Jason that is correct.

According to HLJ this will be released first and then Takom will put the kit out for the rest of the world with the Japan specific parts removed.

Thanks for the suggestion, Darren. Pre-ordered mine from HLJ yesterday and I'm looking forward to it. Now I've gotta get an A7V, a St. Chamond, a Schneider...

Just pre-ordered the kit from HLJ. Should be great fun to build.
