The Type 97 Chi-Ha was the most widely produced Japanese medium tank of World War II.The Type 97 Chi-Ha was the most widely produced Japanese medium tank of World War II.It was used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Battles of Khalkhin Gol against the Soviet Union, and throughout the Second World War.When designed it was quite advanced, and its low silhouette and reliable diesel engine made it popular with its crews.Unusually, the Chi-Ha had a rear facing machine gun in the back of the turret. As with many Japanese tanks it struggled against its better armed and armoured Allied counterparts due to its thin armour and low-velocity 57mm main gun.Each Chi-Ha tank included in this set has options for either early or late production engine deck layout and choice of Chi-Ha or Shinhoto turret.
