Tiny Type 97


There are 1/285 scale GHQ castings of the later 'Shinhoto' version of the Type 97 medium tank.  Rather than the stubby 57mm gun of the opriginal, this had a longer 47mm gun which was easily capable of punching a hole in a dry paper bag.

It is always interesting seeing the only tanks on earth at the time where the Sherman was considered a heavy tank...)

Your collection never ceases to amaze me

The stand with two tanks on a command stand?

...and these Type 97s were the best Jap tanks!

The 'double' stand is no different to the others. I needed four stands and the tanks come five to a pack....
