Dragon is reproducing a pair of 1/72 scale Japanese tanks from WWII. Theset includes a Japanese Type 2 "Ka-Mi" amphibious tank and a Type 97Chi-Ha Late-Production medium tank. The former was used by the ImperialJapanese Navy, while the latter was operated by the Japanese army inWWII. Both types fought on Saipan in the Mariana Islands from June 15 toJuly9, 1944. Capture of the island by US troops allowed American B-29 Superfortress bombers to directly target Japan from Saipan

The two 1/72 scale kits allow modelers to field tanks that were used inboth tropical and temperate regions of Asia, as well as countering thePacific island-hopping campaign of the USA and the Allies. Decals forboth Japanese tank types fighting on Saipan are certainly among theoptions. Fully utilizing Dragon’s technological expertise, this brace oflittle tanks is a masterpiece of accurate kit engineering. They comewith one-piece tracks, for instance, for easy assembly. Detail isdelicately but realistically reproduced. Even though they might be smalltanks in this scale, reflecting the fact that Japanese tanks wererelatively small compared to those of other combatants in WWII, theseare still extremely stunning little packages from Dragon Armor Pro Series!
