Bolt Action Japanese Chi-Ha Tank

Description

Even the emperor is pleased with what this box contains: Enough plastic components to make 1 Chi-Ha or the up gunned Type 97-Kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha, damage markers, full colour waterslide decal sheet, a Bolt Action stat card, a detailed booklet describing how to build and paint your Chi-Ha. With over 2,100 units made, the Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tank was the second most produced Japanese medium tank of World War II, after the smaller Type 95 Ha-Go. It saw extensive action in the Second Sino Japanese War, the Battles of Khalkhin Gol against the Soviet Union, and throughout World War II. It was Japan’s standard medium tank – although with a weight of only 15 tones, excellent speed and mobility, and no more than 33mm of turret armour and 26mm on the hull, it would be considered a light tank in any other contemporary army. With 2 options in the plastic kit you’re spoiled for choice, although we suspect many might opt for the up-gunned variant – the Type 97-Kia Shinhoto with the high velocity 47mm anti-tank gun in a new and larger turret from 1942. Bolt action gaiming miniatures are 1/56 Scale (28 mm). Miniatures require assembly and painting.
