Product: 1:72 IJA Type 2 "Ka-Mi" Amphibious Tank

Dragon is reproducing a pair of 1/72 scale Japanese tanks from WWII. The set includes a Japanese Type 2 "Ka-Mi" amphibious tank and a Type 97 Chi-Ha Late-Production medium tank. The former was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy, while the latter was operated by the Japanese army in WWII. Both types fought on Saipan in the Mariana Islands from June 15 to July 9, 1944. Capture of the island by US troops allowed American B-29 Superfortress bombers to directly target Japan from Saipan

The two 1/72 scale kits allow modelers to field tanks that were used in both tropical and temperate regions of Asia, as well as countering the Pacific island-hopping campaign of the USA and the Allies. Decals for both Japanese tank types fighting on Saipan are certainly among the options. Fully utilizing Dragon’s technological expertise, this brace of little tanks is a masterpiece of accurate kit engineering. They come with one-piece tracks, for instance, for easy assembly. Detail is delicately but realistically reproduced. Even though they might be small tanks in this scale, reflecting the fact that Japanese tanks were relatively small compared to those of other combatants in WWII, these are still extremely stunning little packages from Dragon Armor Pro Series!
