Up next from Fine Molds is an updated kit of this WWII-era Japanese medium tank.
Developed in 1943, the Type 3 Medium Tank Chi-Nu was the last medium tank fielded by the Imperial Japanese Army. Mounting a 75mm gun as its main armament, it is estimated that around 144 to 166 units were produced.

Fine Mold’s Type 3 Chi-nu (FM 55) will feature new link-and-length tracks. It will contain 218 parts and a decal sheet. As built, the model stands 187mm long and 67mm wide.

FM 55 is scheduled to ship starting 15 June.

If it was packaged as its own item, that link-and-length sprue would sell like hotcakes.

The tracks have always been a weak point in these Fine Molds tanks, this is a nice upgrade.

"The Japanese Panther" was a neat looking tank, but hardly a Panther. Glad to see it in 1/35 all the same.
