Tamiya Japanese Medium Tank Type97 (Chi-Ha) 1/35 Scale

The Tamiya Type 97 Chi-Ha is a meticulously detailed 1:35 scale plastic model kit (Kit 35075) capturing Imperial Japan's most prolific WWII medium tank. This classic build features authentic riveted armor plating, the distinctive asymmetrical turret, and the characteristic short-barreled 57mm main gun that defined the Chi-Ha's combat profile. The riveted construction and turret geometry make it an excellent subject for weathering techniques—perfect for applying washes, filters, and pigments to simulate battlefield wear and patina. Whether you're building for display or as a centerpiece for a WWII Japanese armor collection, the Chi-Ha offers engaging construction and impressive final results.
