HBO the Pacific
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I didnt see any previous posts in re: Pacific series.
What is the scuttle butt on the tracks used in the series? I dont recall them saying much about it in the "how it was made" previews. Figured I would try to get it here first.
The jap tank a vismod (based on what?)? I notice the "OD" looks very "green" on the their trucks and jeeps.

I've not seen the series - but I'd offer that most USMC vehicles would be "Marine Corps Green" rather than OD.

I thought the Japanese tank moved awful quickly in last week's episode...

But I suppose that could be racked up to artistic license based on exaggerated memory...

I can post stills from the "Peleilu" episode if anyone is interested?

A great series "The Pacific", right up there with "Band of Brothers", "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of our Fathers", even up a notch when it comes to battle scenes.

The bulk of the miniseries was filmed in Austrailia. I don't know how many Amtracks are running (I thought only a couple) but they had at least one for the filming plus others that were mock ups and a bunch added via CGI. There was at least one Sherman in the Peleliu episode. There were at least two Japanese light tanks shown - likely mock ups, but I don't know what chassis was used. The Guadalcanal episodes had a halftrack (M3) running in a couple scenes.

Yes, Rik, please post the stills.

I noticed that the Jap tanks were pretty quick too, figured maybe they were Toyotas and were experiencing some issues with the accelerator pedals...
As you Neil, I figured they were CG/partial CG and that being artist creations they had them zipping around like they were.
I thought someone on here had within the past year or so posted a topic of a restored Jap tank ??? Thought maybe that vehicle had played a role in the series.

I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
