Airfix 1/76 Type 97 "Chi-Ha"
Japanese Medium Tank
Vintage Series
20mm Scale
Ref : AX01319
Brand new and unbuilt.
Introduced in 1937, the Type 97, Chi-Ha, was one of the best Japanese tanks of WWII, though no match for the US or British main battle tank. Drawing upon European designs, especially Axis, and despite a new suspension system, there were still no shock absorbers and the tank was a rough ride for the crew.
The early Chi-Ha had a main armament of a 57mm gun and a 7.7mm secondary gun although following a 1939 clash with Russian tanks on the Mancguria-Mongolia border where the Russian guns outclassed the 57mm it was later replaced with a high-velocity 47mm. Crewed by four men the armour was thin at only 33mm.
Whether for wargaming or for use in a diorama this brand new model is a classic. Not to be missed.
