i never built a tank befor and i deciding to build one.i want to build a japanese ww2 tank.has any one built one befor and wuts a good 1 to build?alsdo any pics of built ones would be great! thanxs -brad
my cousin had a type97 chiha from tamiya, pretty good kit for a start i’d say.
Any of the “Fine Molds” tanks are excellent kits, this web address give you a good list and should call up pictures http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Maker1=FNM&MacroType=MilVeh&GenreCode=Mil&Dis=2
Not too many out there, but then again, they didn’t have many types themselves. Tamiya is the main game with the Type 97, Type 97 Special, and the 75mm SP. The afore mentioned Finemolds are little tankettes and are quite expensive, as much as 2x the Tamiya kits, but are probably more accurate
Not all of Fine Molds IJA tanks are tankettes. Their Type 3 Chi-Nu uses the same chassis as the Tamiya Type 97 medium tanks but has a larger turret that houses a 75mm main gun. It was designed to fight the Sherman.
the tamiya chia ha is a good start…
