Tamiya 35331 Japan Type 1 self-propelled gun (w/6 figures) 1/35

The Tamiya 35331 Japan Type 1 self-propelled gun (w/6 figures) 1/35 scale model is a high-quality plastic model kit that faithfully replicates the Japanese Type 1 self-propelled armored gun. This exclusive set from the renowned Tamiya company was released in 2013 for discerning historical modelers and collectors of WWII vehicles. The model is based on one of the unique Japanese vehicles from that era, used by the Imperial Japanese Army mainly during combat in the Pacific and the defense of the home islands from 1942 to 1945.

The Type 1 Ho-Ni I self-propelled gun was distinguished by its use of a 75 mm anti-tank gun mounted on the Type 97 Chi-Ha tank chassis. It was one of the few vehicles of this type used in combat by the Japanese army, including participating in the defense of the Philippines (1944–1945). For those who value accurate historical reproductions, the Tamiya 35331 model forms an excellent base for creating Pacific War dioramas.
