The Type 97 Chi-Ha tank model was developed to support the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II and was widely used on many Asian fronts—from China to the Pacific islands and the Philippines. The 57mm gun was the primary armament of early versions of this popular Japanese tank. With this replacement part, you can achieve full authenticity for vehicles from the late 1930s and early 1940s, true to World War II conditions.

Fine Molds MG65 is a product manufactured with great attention to detail, ensuring excellent fit with available model kits and a significant visual advantage over plastic components. The metal barrel not only represents the scale and construction subtleties better but also helps avoid the distortions encountered in plastic counterparts (e.g., warping or issues with filling seams).

We recommend this product to modelers passionate about World War II armored vehicles, especially enthusiasts of Japanese armor. The assembly difficulty level is rated at 2/5 – basic skills in working with small metal parts and model adhesives will be sufficient to easily replace the standard plastic barrel with this one, offering an exceptional level of detail. It is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to take their IJA Type 97 Chi-Ha model to a higher level of authenticity.
