Dragon 6875 TYPE 97 "CHI-HA" 57mm w/NEW HULL 1/35

Dragon 6875 TYPE 97 "CHI-HA" 57mm w/NEW HULL 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing one of the most recognizable Japanese medium tanks of World War II. The model is made in the popular 1/35 scale, which allows for a detailed representation of the vehicle both in terms of overall shape and fine equipment features.

Historical context: The Type 97 "Chi-Ha" was the most widely produced medium tank of the Imperial Japanese Army, used mainly during World War II, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the battles with the USSR at Khalkhin Gol. It was characterized by its low silhouette and distinctive semi-circular antenna on its turret. It was armed with a 57 mm gun, a continuation of the solutions used in earlier Japanese armored models, and powered by a reliable Mitsubishi engine generating 170 HP.

The Dragon 6875 model represents the version with a redesigned hull ("New Hull"), corresponding to the improved versions of the tank from the early years of the war. This model perfectly reflects the historical realities of the conflicts in the Far East, including warfare in China, the Pacific, and battles against the USSR.
