Tamiya 1:35 Type 1 Ho-Ni w/crew

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of Japanese tank destroyer in 1:35 scale.

The limited moel kit produced by Tamiya allows building the model of a Japanese Type 1 Ho-ni self-propelled gun from World War II era. The construction was built on the Type 97 Chi-ha tank chassis due to the high demand for a mobile anti-tank gun capable of destroying American Sherman.

The kit includes 2 crew members (charge and cannon) and 4 additional FineMolds crew members (decals, guns, swords, binoculars). The box contains 2 hull elements, 3 moldings with model parts, FineMolds with figurative elements, rubber tracks, and decals (vehicle and crew markings).

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
