Actually it requires 2 tank kits to make this Type 3 Ka-Chi amphibious medium tank.

Expensive though.

That is way cool, but way expensive too. The kits are pretty pricey as well. This will be well worth it for those who are really interested though

$170 bucks, plus two type 97s at maybe $90 on a good sale. Ouch. Ever since DML announced the type 2 amphibious tank, I've been hoping (yes, I'm nuts) they would do this one as well. It would be a little bigger than the panzerfahre, I think.

I'll be happy if we get the Ka Mi. I also hoping it will be an intact one, not a model of a rusted out wreck.

I agree Gary, whatever becomes available to us I would rather see presented as a serviceable vehicle.
