The vehicle was based on the Type 1 Chi-He medium tank and equipped with a 75 mm Type 99 gun—optimized for destroying fortifications rather than armored vehicles. Production began in 1944, but due to industrial problems, only a small number of units were made, and they were never used in combat outside the Japanese archipelago.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnique features of the model:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaithfully reproduced hull and turret details in keeping with the historical prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent casting quality of track and suspension elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOption to build the model with open or closed hatches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppropriate length and detail of the gun elements, appreciated by advanced modelers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommendations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eIBG 72056 Type 2 HO-I Japanese Infantry Support Tank\u003c\/strong\u003e model is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers.
