Imperial Japanese Type 1 47mm Anti Tank Gun

Bringing some heavy fire power to break through the thick armour of the Allied tanks, the Type 1 47mm AT gun was developed following the Japanese encounter with Russian armour and was the first indigenously developed dedicated anti-tank gun. It lacked the performance of other contemporary weapons of similar calibre, but was deemed sufficiently capable against lightly armoured tanks.

By the time it was introduced in 1942, it was therefore already outdated. The same gun was used as the main armament of the Type 97 Chi-Ha Shinhoto tank. It was also used by Japanese paratroops, dropped disassembled in separate containers.

This Pack contains all the parts to make one highly detailed metal miniature of the artillery piece and crew.

Please Note: Miniature supplied unpainted and some assembly may be required.
