Looks about right. I think the camera position being closer to the ground messes up the size perception to me, makes it look a lot larger than it actually is.
The Land Cruiser J70 has been in production for close to 40 years, though received a styling refresh in the 2010s.
This vehicle meanwhile is custom-made.
Other than the cabin, which uses Toyota Land Cruiser J70 parts at least externally, the chassis, transmission, and engine are non-standard. The cabin is also different from production types due to internal armor plating.
This wheeled anti-tank self-propelled gun has a Nissan 80 truck (probably 1939 model) chassis and is equipped with a 75 mm Type 94 mountain gun. There had already been attempts to mount the towed gun facing backward on the truck, but to shoot at targets in front, it was necessary to make a U-turn, which posed problems for rapid firing. To enable rapid firing when the mountain gun units encountered enemy armored units, it was developed by the IJA Taiwan Mountain Gun Regiment based on experiences from the Hainan Island Operation. The traverse is secured at approximately ±17°. It can also be used as a SPAAG, in which case it can fire at an elevation angle of up to 80°. Although it does not appear to have much depression, it can be used to fire at close range targets up to about 50 m. Anti-tank combat tactics: This new type of SPG rapidly fires at enemy tanks in front, allowing older model SPGs time to turn around.
I think this blueprint was already known on the forum, but its source was unclear. I found a detailed explanation of its development history in the August 1942 issue of the Japanese Army officers’ bulletin, “Kaikosha Report No. 815,” so I’m sharing it with you.
