Type 4 Ho-Ro
« on: 14 December 2013, 10:07:34 PM »


I converted a spare Type 97 Chi-Ha hull from Company B and sIG33 gun from Die Waffenkammer to make a Type 4 Ho-Ro self propelled gun. I know that only a few saw service in the Philippines and Okinawa but this looked too cool to pass up. It was an on again, off again project but was worth the effort; I was pleased with the final vehicle.

I will post a "How to" article on line after I edit the large amount of pictures I took (the article is over 3600 words!)

Glad you posted the text - I saw the pic, and didn't understand.

That is an excellent conversion, looks 100% the part, well done!

Unfortunately, no. It's a one off using a spare Chi-Ha hull, a sIG33 gun from JTFM and scrap plastic. Only about 4 made it into action in WWII. Sorry.

Thanks for the compliments!
