Another new custom kit designed featuring one of the main Japanese tanks of World War II: The Type 97 Chi-Ha. This model is the up-gunned "Shinhoto" variant, fitted with a high-velocity 47mm main gun. While large tank vs. tank battles were not commonplace in the Pacific Theater, Type 97s were present at most of the major campaigns (Malay, Singapore, Philippines) and the defense of many islands in the south and central Pacific.

Additional information about this Brickmania custom Lego® kit:

This model is built using genuine Lego bricks and comes in a camouflage scheme typical of Japanese tanks throughout the war. The main turret is fully rotatable and the main gun does have limited elevation. This model does not have a detailed interior due to its small size and concerns over the already higher cost of the dark green and tan bricks.

This kit does include one custom minifig featuring professionally applied decals, designed by Fine Clonier, and a BrickArms custom molded P08 Luger (representing a Type 14 pistol).
