mike962 ◊ 2014-07-16 19:01	filmed in California Link to "www.imdb.com" has japanese markings and seen the movie this was supposed to be a captured japanese air strip so perhaps wanting to play a captured japanese roller , this could be a FAKE just a prop -- Last edit: 2014-07-16 19:03:54
mike962 ◊ 2014-07-24 12:53	this is the authentic japanese roller captured at Midway Link to "www.ibiblio.org" doesn't look like it at all -- Last edit: 2014-08-21 18:56:29
mike962 ◊ 2014-08-21 18:55	lighninboy you think this is a fake non functioning prop ?
lightninboy ◊ 2014-08-21 19:10	If it was real, I wouldn't know what make it is anyway.
mike962 ◊ 2014-08-21 19:17	I mean doesn't it look a bit flimsy ? saw the movie and only seen static in 2 shots, never seen moving -- Last edit: 2014-08-21 19:17:22
Gamer ◊ 2014-08-21 19:19	It almost reminds me of Fred Flintstone's car.
lightninboy ◊ 2014-12-11 15:27	It's probably not a real Japanese roller which would weigh like 7 tons and be impractical to ship to California. The question is is it an American roller or is it some parts making a prop. Link to "www.network54.com" http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=146346 If you want to do a World War 2 movie, Objective, Burma! (1945) has some kind of tractor in it, maybe a Case armored tractor. -- Last edit: 2014-12-11 15:37:52
mike962 ◊ 2014-12-11 15:33	I think it's a prop , couldn't find a single roller which looks anything close to it and saw the movie it never moved, just parked in background that's why should go to comments section due to serious doubts being real -- Last edit: 2014-12-11 15:34:48

mike962 ◊ 2025-01-11 14:16	have a feeling this ain't a real thing but a prop
CougarTim ◊ 2025-01-12 19:25	Something real with a fake shell built around it. I think the front roller and the structure around it are the only 'real' parts we can see.
