Tamiya has released the venerable Type 1 Ho-ni self propelled gun in combination with the 4 figure IJA set.

Darren, thanks for getting this up. Hopefully someone will find it of use. It is still the best kit of the Type 1 SPG available.

I built the first release in the 70's when I was a kid. Now I need to build a few of my Japanese tanks I already have before I get it again.

Nice review.

My 2-cents: this kit looks like a fine model for a great price! I want one!

Jeff and Fred, thanks for commenting. I've already got the build underway. A good Tamiya kit is always nice respite from a troubling build.
