Designed for colonial operations in China, it featured a gasoline engine (in the KOU version), a modestly welded structure, and was armed with a 57 mm gun and a machine gun. It performed excellently in urban combat and infantry support. The tank took part in battles during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific island campaigns of World War II.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eIBG 72037\u003c\/strong\u003e kit will impress modelers with its detail and accuracy in replicating features characteristic of the early “KOU” variant, such as the fenders, turret shape, and running gear components. Assembly difficulty is medium (\u003cstrong\u003edifficulty level 3\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e), and additional decals allow you to display the vehicle in historical colors.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    We particularly recommend this product to modelers interested in Asian military history and collectors of vehicles from World War II and earlier Far East conflicts.
