Bolt Action - Japan - Japanese Type 97 Chi-Ha Medium Tank

Bolt Action - Japanese Type 97 Chi-Ha Medium Tank

Even the emperor is pleased with what this box contains:

• 1 Plastic Vehicle - 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

         Scale: 28mm - 1/56th

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.

The Type 97-Kia Shinhoto Chi-Ha in Bolt Action

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.

Resin and metal model, supplied unpainted and unassembled.  Glue and paints not included.

Warlord Games boxes are quite thin - some packaging may show signs of storage and shelf wear.
