Product Description
In the latter half of the Greater East Asia War, the Navy developed the 12 cm short gun as a self-defense weapon for merchant ships, and a considerable number of them were used as artillery pieces in land and coastal batteries for island defense.
In 1945, when calls for a decisive battle on the Japanese mainland were being made, a small number of vehicles were produced that mounted this gun on the Army's Type 97 medium tank, creating self-propelled guns.
It has been confirmed that this 12cm short self-propelled gun was deployed to the naval landing forces in Sasebo and Yokosuka.
The kit reproduces the distinctive short but large-caliber gun and the counterweight at the rear of the turret using newly designed parts.
The kit includes decals with markings for vehicles belonging to the Marine Corps, although these are estimated to be from that unit.
