The diorama shows night attack of the Imperial Japanese Army 4th tank regiment (July 4, 1939) during the battle of Khalkhin-Gol in Mongolia, better known for Japanese as the Nomonkhan Incident.

Dragon's Type 95 Ha-Go with 'Manchurian suspension' is almost straight from the box; I added turned barrel, Friulmodel tracks, and ELF lights. Painted with Tamiya acrylics with extensive use of masks. Japanese flag is an Archer dry transfer over foil.

Soviet figures are TANK, Stalingrad and Evolution items, with Hornet heads in appropriate SSh-36 helmets. The Japanese tanker is converted from Bravo 6 Peleliu kit; his uniform is backgraded to the 1930 model, with Fine Molds decal for rank insignia. Maxim machine gun is a resin kit from TANK. Painting with Lifecolor and Citadel acrylics.

Groundworks done with foam board, acrylic putty and MIG mud mixtures. All painted with PVA tempera and pigments for dull finish. I used 4 colors and sizes of Fredericus Rex synthetic grass. Sandbags are from Panzer Art (resin) and scratchbuilt with Milliput. Aber barbed wire, and 0.3 mm brass pipe for spent ammo.
