Behold the wonder that is the Type 1 Ho-Ni I tank destroyer. It mated the hull of the Type 97 medium tank with the Type 90 75mm gun. 26 examples of this elegant device were built in 1942.
My model arrived in amongst a load of Airfix infantry and after making a few repairs and painting, I fitted the tracks. Crew figures were added from the Fine Molds set mentioned here earlier - I think they help bring the thing to life. I’ve no idea when it will get used, as it’s clearly far too late for the planned Nomonhan (1939) game.

Too bad it's too advanced for Nomonhan, it would give those red hordes of 26s something to think about !
It's quite terrifying!

I suspect that was very much the thinking behind the design.

Funny - that’s what the crew said too....
Crude and simple. What could go wrong?
