Product Description
--The Japanese Navy's Type 2 special submarine with floats is now available in the MONO Dragon series.
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit that recreates the float-equipped HK-2 Ka-Mi amphibious tank deployed and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.
[About the actual car]
During World War II, the Japanese Navy developed and equipped its Marine Corps with the cooperation of the Army with the Type 2 Special Combat Tank (Kami).
It was based on the Army's Type 95 light tank, which was fully welded and had rubber seals on the hatches.
The turret was taken from the Type 2 tank, and the main gun was a 37mm Type 1 tank gun.
The vehicle was equipped with detachable floats at the front and rear to provide buoyancy, allowing it to be used both on land and in water.
The floats were removed after the landing and the tanks continued their advance as normal tanks.
It was standardized in 1942, and approximately 180 vehicles were produced by the end of the war.
After its first combat deployment in Saipan, it was used extensively on battlefields in southern islands such as New Guinea.
