The IJA Type 3 Ho-Ni III was a self-propelled gun used by the Imperial Japanese Army at the end of World War II (1944–1945). Built on the chassis of the Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tank and equipped with a 75 mm gun, the Ho-Ni III featured a fully enclosed, armored superstructure protecting the crew. Its task was to provide fire support for armored units and infantry during the defense of the Japanese Islands. Although produced in relatively small numbers, this vehicle is a symbol of the modernization of Japanese armored forces at the close of the war.

The Fine Molds 35720 kit stands out for its richly detailed interior, including the crew compartment, gun mechanisms, ammunition, and floor and wall details. The track set consists of individual links, giving the finished replica a particularly realistic appearance. The plastic parts are perfectly molded, free of flash, and provide a comfortable assembly experience.

We recommend this model to experienced modelers and enthusiasts of Japanese armored vehicles who value high historical accuracy and the satisfaction of assembling complex interiors. Difficulty level: 4/5 – the kit requires precision and basic modeling skills in assembly and painting. Glue and paints are not included – they must be purchased separately. This is a unique offer for collectors and World War II enthusiasts wishing to enrich their collection with an authentic vehicle from the Japanese armed forces.
