Bolt Action - Type 97 Chi-Ha Medium Tank

Bolt Action - Type 97 Chi-Ha Medium Tank brings Japan’s most widely used medium tank to your tabletop. With over 2,100 units produced, the Chi-Ha saw extensive action in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Battles of Khalkhin Gol against the Soviet Union, and throughout World War II. Though classified as a medium tank by Japan, its 15-ton weight, high mobility, and relatively thin armor made it more comparable to light tanks in other armies.

This kit offers two build options: the standard Type 97 Chi-Ha with its low-velocity 57mm gun or the upgraded Type 97-Kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha, which featured a high-velocity 47mm anti-tank gun in a larger turret from 1942 onward. The up-gunned version significantly improved Japan’s ability to engage enemy armor, making it a popular choice for Bolt Action players.

Complete with damage markers, a waterslide decal sheet, and a full-color assembly and painting guide, this model is perfect for historical wargamers looking to expand their Imperial Japanese Army. Get your Type 97 Chi-Ha today at Boarding School Games!
