Even the Emperor would be proud of this addition to your Imperial Japanese Army: the Type 97 Chi-Ha / Type 97-Kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha plastic kit for Bolt Action. This versatile box allows you to build either the classic Chi-Ha or the upgraded Shinhoto version, complete with new turret and armament.

The Chi-Ha was Japan’s most-produced medium tank during World War II, featuring excellent mobility and reliability, though its light armor classified it as a light tank by most standards. It saw service in the Second Sino-Japanese War, at Khalkhin Gol, and throughout the Pacific theater.

In Bolt Action, the Chi-Ha is a light tank with decent speed and firepower. The Shinhoto version, introduced in 1942, upgrades the armament to a high-velocity 47mm gun and features a larger turret—perfect for punching through Allied armor.

This kit includes everything you need to build either variant, along with a decal sheet, stat card, and hobby guide.
