About the actual vehicle
The Rocket Models "Fist War Series" models based on the concept of what kind of evolution military vehicles would have seen if World War II had lasted a little longer and ended two years later. Japan would surely have developed its own weapons through reverse engineering using weapons and technology brought from Germany. One of them is the gun tank "Ho-Ri II," equipped with a prototype 12cm gun in a fighting compartment boasting 250mm of frontal armor. The engine is a V-type 12-cylinder Ha-140. In Operation Coronet and other battles to intercept the Japanese mainland, tank battles against new American tanks took place on the Shonan coast.

About the Model
This model is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the "Ho-Ri II" tank gun, manufactured by Japan using reverse engineering with technology from the German army.
The fixed fighting compartment shape, designed based on original research, is modeled with great impact. The hatches on the top of the fighting compartment and the welding marks on various parts are also realistic. Furthermore, the long 12 cm gun mounted there is made of machined aluminum metal parts. The barrel is movable up and down, and the loading mechanism is also reproduced.
All the road wheels are separate parts, and the tracks use a segmented gluing method to achieve a three-dimensional running gear. The finished model is approximately 300 mm in length, 110 mm in width, and 85 mm in height, making it quite impressive. The design also pursues ease of assembly by keeping the number of parts to a minimum. You can also have fun using your imagination and skills with painting instead of being limited to the decals in the kit for the markings. This kit allows you to create a fictional war story world unique to plastic models.
You can try weathering effects, of course, but you can also let your imagination run wild and think about camouflage painting.
