Powered by a 240hp Type 100 diesel engine and equipped with the Type 3 75mm gun, it was created specifically to counter better-armored Allied vehicles such as the M4 Sherman. Although around two hundred Chi-Nu tanks were completed and assigned to homeland defense units, they never saw combat before the end of the war.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/35 scale Fine Molds kit reproduces the Chi-Nu with clean molding and thoughtful engineering, capturing its straightforward hull lines, tall turret, and distinctively Japanese silhouette. Four detailed WWII Japanese tank crew figures are included, making it easy to build a diorama right out of the box. Belt-type tracks offer a smooth and beginner-friendly assembly experience, while still providing enough surface detail for weathering and painting.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nFor modelers who enjoy historic subjects and appreciate discovering lesser-known vehicles, the Type 3 Chi-Nu offers a meaningful project—one that encourages patience, good brushwork, and simple, steady craftsmanship.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50347057512695,"sku":"MH_TAM25107_HH","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/d498f3dd9bec32b1f5bd2d353d209aad.jpg?v=1765413819","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/japanese-type-3-medium-tank","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
