Hi From footage Ive seen of Jap armour they seem to have tracks like panzer 3s ,they are very light tanks and the guns are about 37mm which is what most tanks had at the begining of the war ,they were never updated like they were in Europe.
They were meat on the table when a Sherman or Grant was around also easy target for a bazoka.

regards pete

P.S check RCU out Im sure I saw someone build one of these

Do you mean type 97 Chi Ha - the most common Japanese WW2 tank? - it is pretty small to get motors, electronics etc into
