Hi! Sinzan half size strength test model.
You can see blister type side gun emplacement and chief designer Kenichi Matsumura at the tail of the model in the first picture.
This blister type side gun emplacement was not selected for production model by full scale mock up inspection.
You can see Shinzan full scale mock up in the second picture.
