Overview of the Tamiya 25107 Type 3 Chi-Nu in 1/35

The Type 3 Chi-Nu represents one of Japan's late-war medium tank designs, developed to improve on the earlier Type 97 Chi-Ha. Rolled out in May 1944, the Chi-Nu used a 240hp Type 100 V-12 diesel engine and was armed with a Type 3 75mm gun to counter Allied armour like the M4 Sherman. Production reached roughly 200 vehicles, which remained on the home islands and saw no front-line action against Allied forces.

Kit features and assembly guidance

This 1/35 scale offering from Tamiya captures the Chi-Nu with careful moulding and includes four crew figures to stage realistic scenes. Fine Molds-sourced parts boost authenticity, while the belt-type track system keeps construction manageable for intermediate modellers.

The kit suits modellers with basic to intermediate skills. Parts fit well, but painting, decaling and small-detail work will benefit from some prior experience.
Yes, the kit includes decal sheets for standard unit markings. Use decal softener and a glossy basecoat for best adhesion and finish.
Fine Molds components improve detail fidelity on small fittings and hatches, helping the model match references closely without major modification.
Use neutral green base tones and hand-brushed or airbrushed weathering washes to replicate wartime Japanese finishes. Check period photos for regional variations.
