However it didn't enter production as a result of steel production being prioritsd for the Imperial Japanese Navy. All Chi-He were reserved for defence of the Japanese home islands. The Chi-He design was replaced by the Type 3 Chi-Nu. Between 1943 and 1944 a total of 170 Chi-He were built.\nThe Type 3 was powered by a Mitsubishi Type 100 air-cooled diesel engine and had a range of 210km and a crew of 5.\nWhether for wargaming or just building for display this brand new kit is a beauty.
