Tamiya 25108 - Japanese Type 5 Medium Tank- 1/35 Chi-Ri w/Metal Gun Barrel  [25108]

The Type 5 Chi-Ri was one of many final tanks created by the Japanese military during WWII. The "Chi" represents the very first syllable associated with Japanese term for "medium tank" while "Ri" means a character used in the old-style Iroha Japanese syllabary.

The Chi-Ri ended up being a large tank design fitted with a license-built BMW aircraft motor and armed with both 57mm and 75mm guns. Only an individual instance had been finished by the finish associated with the war, and also this ended up being taken for assessment by United states forces after WWII.
