[Product Introduction]
TAMIYA 1/35 Japanese Army Type 1 Artillery Tank (comes with 6 figures). The Type 1 artillery tank was officially called the Type 1 7cm semi-self-propelled gun, and was given the secret name Honi Kuruma Type 1 (Honi 1).

Production began in the latter half of 1945, and 138 vehicles were produced by the end of the war. It is said that a Type 1 tank assigned to a mobile artillery regiment in a tank division fought deadly battles in the Philippines and elsewhere against the superior American military.
