Tamiya 32565 Japanese Navy IIWW Komatsu G40 Bulldozer (1/48)

The Tamiya 32565 Japanese Navy IIWW Komatsu G40 Bulldozer in 1/48 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit depicting one of the less commonly seen engineering vehicles used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The Komatsu G40 is a specialized tracked bulldozer designed for logistical and engineering support. These machines were employed for building field airstrips, trenches, and preparing defensive positions on Pacific islands.

The Komatsu G40 was heavily utilized mainly between 1943–1945 by the Imperial Japanese Navy, especially during campaigns on islands such as Iwo Jima, Saipan, and Okinawa, where it played a key role in war logistics and engineering work. This bulldozer was Japan's answer to increasing terrain challenges and Allied bombings, allowing for fast preparation of infrastructure even in difficult conditions.
