About product

The Ho-Ni III in 1:35 scale from the Japanese brand FineMolds

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Japanese tank destroyer Type 3 Ho-Ni III. Behind the molds stands FineMolds, a Japanese manufacturer that has long specialized in the hardware of the Imperial Army and is known for the fine engraving of its surfaces. The model is intended to be glued together and painted.

What made this machine exceptional

It came about by rebuilding the chassis of the medium tank Type 97 Chi-Ha. Whereas the older Ho-Ni I carried its gun in a superstructure open at the top and at the rear, in the Ho-Ni III the crew already got a fully enclosed armored casemate with a gun of 75 millimeters. It protected them from splinters and from small-arms fire. The machine was being born only at the close of the war and the pieces built stayed for the most part on the home islands, where the army held them in reserve against the expected landing.

What to keep in mind during the build

Build and paint the running gear and the lower hull before you seat the superstructure, because afterwards you will no longer get at them. The large flat walls of the casemate are rewarding for shading and for a dry brush on the edges. Japanese hardware tends to be shown in fields of ocher and brown-green whose transitions it pays to blur.

Who we recommend the set to

  • those interested in the hardware of the Imperial Japanese Army
  • builders of dioramas from the fighting in the Pacific
  • collectors of self-propelled guns in 1:35 scale
  • modelers who have their first tank behind them and want a less usual subject

It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; paints and glue are not in the package.

FAQ

It is a classic injection-molded plastic kit. The parts are separated from the frets, glued and painted; none of that is prepared in advance in the package.

The older Ho-Ni I had its fighting compartment open at the top and at the rear, whereas the Ho-Ni III got an enclosed armored superstructure and a different gun. The crew in it was substantially better covered.

A modeler who has already built at least one tank in this scale will manage it. What calls for the most attention is the running gear and painting it before the hull is closed.
