Dragon has announced the IJA Type 97 Chi-Ha medium Tank. This is definitely good news indeed.

I wonder if Dragon will announce the M4A3 with the added wood on the sides. The Peliliu campaign from Dragon has been very good indeed. The only problem may be no figures to be released in 1/72. Hopefully they will release the howitzer with crew in 1/72.

Most excellent, I hope they continue to run with 1/72 IJA subject matter. It would be nice to see a theatre correct Sherman realeased, and figures + gun crew would be very nice indeed
