Product Description

[About the actual vehicle]
--The Type 97 Medium Tank Chiha is an indispensable vehicle for talking about the Japanese Army tanks of World War II.
――From the Sino-Japanese War, which was dropped by the fire lid in 1945, to each theater in the Pacific Ocean after that, and in all areas such as the Kuril Islands, we continued to fight as a main battle tank from the beginning to the end of the war.
--Completed in 1937 (Showa 12). A unique mechanism such as a turret equipped with a headband antenna in a low and compact body shape and asymmetrical shape, an air-cooled diesel engine installed in the engine, and a characteristic seesaw suspension for the suspension. It was a tank that included.
--Participation in the actual battle is from the Nomonhan incident in July 1939.
――After that, the Malay advance made a big battle and attracted attention.
――However, the 18.4 caliber 57mm gun, which was mainly used to support infantry, was undeniably lacking in anti-tank combat, and as the battle situation progressed, it was forced to struggle.
――While the design of Type 3 and Type 4 medium tanks was underway with anti-tank warfare in mind, by 1944, a total of over 2000 vehicles had been produced.
