A 1:35 plastic model kit of the Experimental Type 5 gun tank Ho-Ri I from Amusing Hobby: a Japanese heavy tank destroyer of the end of the Second World War that stayed on paper.
Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the Japanese Ho-Ri heavy tank destroyer in 1:35 scale. The box holds eleven sprues of light gray plastic, tracks made of individual click-together links (105 per side), eight metal springs for the running gear, twisted wire for a tow cable, a small photo-etched fret for the engine grilles and markings, a decal sheet, a thirteen-page instruction booklet and a four-page painting supplement.
The Ho-Ri was to be built on the chassis of the Type 5 Chi-Ri medium tank and to carry a 105 mm gun in a fixed superstructure at the rear, that is, in the same layout the German Elefant had. The project reckoned with a crew of six, 125 mm frontal armor and 25 mm side armor; a 37 mm gun was also to go in the front plate. No prototype was completed by the end of the war, and only a wooden mock-up is documented. The model is therefore a reconstruction of a project rather than of a machine that would have driven, and its camouflage is always the builder own reasoning.
Paint the running gear and the interior of the superstructure before you close the hull. Assemble the individual track links in shorter runs and let them dry on the wheels so that they hold a natural sag. Glue the plastic with liquid cement for polystyrene and the photo-etched fret with cyanoacrylate glue. Late Japanese camouflage tends to be in three colors and calls for an airbrush over a primer coat; for weathering a wash in the recesses and dust pigments in the running gear are enough.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
