Military Tuesday : Kyoshi Harada’s 3D Renders of WWII War Machines
Japanese CG artist, Kyoshi Harada, has updated his Polygon Model website with 4 new 1280×960 wallpapers of WWII war machines.

The first wallpaper depicts a submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy Sen Toku I-400 class, the largest submarines of WWII. Read in the book Codename : Downfall (Thomas B. Allen & Norman Polman) that the Japanese actually intended to use these massive submarine carriers to launch their internally-carried floatplanes on one-way kamikaze missions to disperse plague-infected fleas over California & other cities on the American west coast under Operation Cherry Blossoms At Night (page 257).

The second wallpaper is of the ‘workhorse’ of the German Army in WWII, the Panzerkampfwagen IV (PzKpfw IV) tank. The tank in this wallpaper is the earlier Ausf D/E/F1 variant with the short 75mm KwK L/24 cannon for infantry support.

The third is a cutaway model of the Type 3 Chi-Nu medium tank of the Imperial Japanese Army. It’s rare to find high resolution 3D renders of Japanese WWII armor on the .Net and even rarer to see high-quality cutaway models like this:)

The last wallpaper is another cutaway model of the radical-looking Kyushu J7W1 Shinden interceptor. The devastating armament of four nose-mounted Type 5 30mm cannon can be seen clearly in the render.

To bad the submarine isn’t on his 3d gallery page. I would have liked to see more of that model. And a cutaway would even be better.
Very impressive!
Hi Onno, agree with that - submarine renders are quite rare. Not too keen about the submarine cutaway though, I prefer warship cutaways though - submarines seem to be a giant set of claustrophobic tunnels the last time I went into one at the Sydney Maritime Museum
Hi gnome, you meant me?
wow nice render
