Japanese Tank Type 97 Kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha Replica Disguised as Panzer 38(t)

Hi everyone,
What a great journey of discovery and learning I've been on since releasing my Gold Coast War Museum video.
This tank was actually a movie prop for the 2005 film, The Great Raid.
Intended to be a replica Type 97 Kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha, it was constructed using an FV432 chassis.
Now, it's painted to look like a German Panzer 38(t) because why not!
Cheers,
Alex

I really like that you have done this video to show we don’t always get it right and letting people know the correct information

@coreyrich2567 Thanks Corey!

[@aloydaboi-y2d]

i would never imagine an fv 432 being modified into a type 97

[@AcesArmourAdmirals]

@aloydaboi-y2d Very creative. Apparently there are replica StuG III made using the FV432 chassis as well. You'll spot them due to their 5 road wheels on each side instead of 6.

Chi-Ha, My favorite Japanese Tank of ww2! Not counting the Type 3 Chi-Nu or the Type 95 Ha-Go!

There is a certain appeal to it.
