WWII - VEHICLE LIST 1/56 scale Bolt Action

Type 97 Chi-Ha Kia Medium Tank (JAPAN, WW2)


The Type 97 Chi-Ha Kai was the most capable Japanese tank that saw combat in WWII. Being an upgrade on the Chi-Ha, it was armed with a new turret (ShinHōtō) boasting the Type 1 (47 mm) cannon to compete with late 1930s armour. Proving themselves very successful in the early Pacific campaign through Corregidor Island and Malaya, effectiveness fell flat when faced against the M4 Shermans of the 1940s, and as a result created the negative stigma of Japanese tank quality.

Being built on the Chi-Ha, the only main difference is the turret, mobility will remain the same but comes with a more capable cannon and an additional crew member.

Features include:

Holes for magnets in turrets
Pre-hollowed option
Open hatches option
Option to print tracks separately or attached to hull
2 Tankmen
