Tamiya 25107 - 1/35 Type 3 Chi-Nu Medium Tank kit with 4 crew figures  [25107]

Tamiya 25107 1/35 Japanese Type 3 Chi-Nu overview

The Type 3 Chi-Nu was among the last Japanese medium tanks developed during World War II, marking a key step in domestic tank evolution. Introduced in May 1944 as an improved follow-up to the Type 97 Chi-Ha, the Chi-Nu used a 240hp Type 100 V-12 diesel engine and mounted a Type 3 75mm gun intended to contest Allied M4 Sherman tanks. About 200 were produced and mostly held in defense positions within Japan, with no recorded engagements against Allied forces.

Build notes and modelling tips

This 1/35 scale kit from Tamiya reproduces the Chi-Nu with careful detail and includes four crew figures for in-box diorama scenes. The kit uses components from Fine Molds for accurate parts and belt-type tracks that simplify assembly while preserving realistic appearance.
