Checkout this hot Knight Lancer painted up in the colors  of the Imperial Japanese Flag and energized zappy shield!

Hobby Maniac Richard Allan Powell has been at it again. Checkout this great Knight Lancer complete with the Rising Sun painted onto its carapace, energized shield and great looking citadel woods to bring it all together.

This flag actually dates back to the late 1800’s during the west’s “Victorian Period”, but seems like most of us are familiar with it from the current era defense force, and WWII militaries.
