Why this kit matters The Type 97 Chiha was the most widely produced Japanese medium tank of World War II, known for its role in the Pacific Theatre. It was developed in the late 1930s and saw extensive use throughout the war. Despite being outclassed by Allied tanks, it was a significant part of Japan's armoured forces. The tank's design was based on the need for a more powerful vehicle than its predecessors, featuring a 57mm gun and improved armour. Its historical significance lies in its deployment in key battles and its influence on subsequent Japanese tank designs. How to use it Build using paint and glue.
