Japanese Type 97 Chi-Ha Kai Shinhoto Tank 1-100

$7.00

Japanese Type 97 Chi Ha tank with Type 97 low velocity 57mm gun and two Type 97 7.7mm machine guns and Chi Ha Kai (improved) with Type 1 high velocity 47mm gun replacing the 57. Chi Ha entered Japanese service in 1938 as a replacement for the Ha Go. Intended as an infantry support tank with early success in China and the 1942 campaigns, but was found to be inadequate against Soviet and Allied tanks. Largely replaced by the Chi Ha Kai, sometimes called the Chi Ha Shinhoto (new turret), with slightly improved armor and a high velocity 47mm gun. Captured tanks were used by both sides in the Chinese Civil War following the end of WW2. Each tank comes with one open and one closed commander’s cupola module.

3d SLA printed from grey resin under license from V. Mifsud's design in 15mm scale for your favorite wargames. This is an all new design with greatly improved detail, and is much closer to true scale. This miniature will ship washed, cured and cleared of supports just like the photos. It will require some cleanup to remove minor printing artifacts. All miniatures are printed on order and shipped as quickly as possible in no more than 5 business days.

Free domestic shipping USPS First Class, faster shipping available at customer’s expense.
