Scheduled for release this month is an updated kit depicting this Imperial Japanese Army light tank during the Malayan Campaign.
The Type 95 Ha-Gō was a light tank used by the IJA in combat-operations during the Second Sino-Japanese War, at Nomonhan against the Soviet Union, and in the Second World War. It proved sufficient in fighting against infantry but, like the American M3 Stuart light tank, was not designed to combat other tanks. Approximately 2,300 units were produced, making it the most numerous Japanese armored fighting vehicles during WWII.

Kit highlights:

  • new PE for muffler guards
  • link-and-length tracks
  • options to build with either 7.7mm or 6.5mm light machine gun
  • 3 markings options for the 1st Regiment that fought in the Malayan Campaign
  • dimensions: 156mm (L) by 67mm (W) by 71mm (H)
Available by 15 October.

Looks like a fun change of pace from the Pz Is that I seem to be wading through just now.

With turned metal barrel and PE available for this kit, along with metal tracks from R Models, this kit will be a fine build!
