Banzai
The Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor has awoken the Americans.
Now they must fight with determination to hold their gains, to push the westerners back and consolidate Japanese control. Every inch of ground, each beach, village and airfield, are defended with a ferocity against which no enemy can stand.

The mechanisation of Japan’s armed forces proceeded at an extremely slow pace during the war. Lacking the resources to develop dedicated self-propelled artillery, they instead turned to expedient adaptations of existing designs.

The first model produced was the Type 1 Ho-Ni mounting the 75mm Type 90 gun in an open fighting compartment (similar to a German Marder) on a Chi-Ha chassis.

Step 5: Add the figures on either side of the gun. You may prefer to paint the figures separately to the vehicle and then glue them in place.
