Dragon Models 1:72 Armor Collector Series 60432
Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha Display Model
IJA 34th Tank Rgt, #381, Nothern China, 1945

1:72 Scale   Length   Width
Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha   3"   1.25"

One area where the Chi-Ha was deployed was China. Dragon Armor's model depicts a tank belonging to the 4th Tank Company of the 34th Tank Regiment. This regiment belonging to the 1st Independent Tank Brigade was created in 1944; it was one of nine independent tank brigades formed at the end of WWII in Japan and northeast China to act as a mobile force. The 34th Tank Regiment spent the entirety of its short existence in China until the war ended. As well as being an Early-Production version, what stands out most on this model is the striking camouflage scheme consisting of three colors plus bright bands of yellow. Markings painted onto the hull suggest this tank was sponsored by members of the Japanese public, with the characters representing "patriotic". This attractive item allows collectors to field another Japanese tank from WWII.

Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha

Designed to replace the Type 89 in the infantry support role, the Type 97 prototype was completed in 1937 and the type entered full-scale production in 1938.

Dragon's 1:72 scale Chi-Ha Tank is constructed almost entirely of die-cast plastic, which allows for the greatest possible level of detailing. The rotating turret features a fixed main gun, rear facing machine gun and a delicate semi-circular antenna mounted on top. Battlefield equipment such as a jack, a shovel and a pick are separately mounted at the rear of the hull. Each of the top mounted engine exhaust muffler are fitted with a fine photo-etched metal heat-shield. Additional features include fine scale rivet head details on the top and underside and a clear view of the bell-crank suspension system through the vehicle's tracks.
