1/72 WW2 Japanese tanks

[Josh]

Hello guys,

I have just finished the last of my current stock of models and am looking to purchase some more.

I am particularly interested in WW2 Japanese military vehicles in a 1/72 scale.

I can only seen to find 'Airfix 1/76 Japanese Chi Ha Tank Type 97'

Anyone have any ideas ? Maybe in wrong but everything else seems very old and not widely sold anymore.

There is a few in 1/76 scale, Fujimi and Ostmodels do a range of tanks, although they seem to have disappeared.

Hi Josh, Dragon do a few: Type 2 Ka-Mi, Type 95 "Ha-Go", Type 97 "Chi-Ha" (early and late versions), Type 4 "Ke-Nu", Type 2 (Ka-Mi) Amphibious etc. THere are various boxings for some of them, depicting early and late versions. Some may be out-of-production but can still be found.

Looks a bit rough but maybe worth a dabble.

Frontline do a range, but they are all cast, resin I think and are really rough, will need some cleaning up.

Spent ages looking online for a decent priced kit... Went for a drive earlier today and found a model shop.. Only went and had a type 2 Ka-Mi w/floating pontoon!


Lesson learnt... Not everything is online !
