Production of the Type 2 commenced in 1942 and a total of 184 amphibious tanks were made, although the design was too late to participate in Japan’s island-hopping campaign. When used in water, large pontoons were attached to the glacis plate and rear deck to give it a top speed of 10km\/h in water. These pontoons could be shed as soon as the vehicle reached land.

Slide molds are widely employed, with upper-hull and lower-hull components both made as single pieces, for example. The kit is closely based on measurements taken from a surviving Type 2 tank on Palau to ensure this kit is accurately dimensioned. The “Ka-Mi” also includes DS tracks for easy assembly of the complicated track links. This version with amphibious kit offers so much more by allowing modelers to place it in a scene where the tank is wading ashore.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-08-14T14:54:09+08:00","created_at":"2019-08-14T14:55:33+08:00","vendor":"Dragon","type":"Military","tags":["1\/72","Brand_Dragon","Dragon","Military","Scale Models","Scale_1\/72","Series_Military Vehicles","Status_Out of Stock"],"price":19800,"price_min":19800,"price_max":19800,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":29724806152270,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DR07486","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"1\/72 IJA Type2 “Ka-mi” w\/Floating Potton Late Production","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":19800,"weight":500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR07486.jpg?v=1565765736","\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR07486_1.jpg?v=1565765739"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR07486.jpg?v=1565765736","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":1393742708814,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.54,"height":437,"width":673,"src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR07486.jpg?v=1565765736"},"aspect_ratio":1.54,"height":437,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR07486.jpg?v=1565765736","width":673},{"alt":null,"id":1393742774350,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.706,"height":1274,"width":900,"src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR07486_1.jpg?v=1565765739"},"aspect_ratio":0.706,"height":1274,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR07486_1.jpg?v=1565765739","width":900}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eDragon 7486 - \u003cspan\u003e1\/72 IJA Type2 “Ka-mi” w\/Floating Potton Late Production\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Type 2 \"Ka-Mi\" w\/Floating Pontoon Late Production reproduced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRails and full detail on front pontoon included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust pipe w\/photo-etched cover realistically produced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricate hydroscope molded on turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWading air intake cowling included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront pontoon represented in two segments as per original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece upper hull made from 30directional slide mold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilation grill produced in maximum detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-directional slide-molded one-piece lower hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydroscope hatch can be assembled open\/closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection-molded float attachment brackets w\/crisp detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue-to-scale ultra-thin propellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricate idler wheels and return rollers accurately produced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprocket wheels w\/breathtaking detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension system offers easy assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Ka Mi” was the first amphibious tank used by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), and it was designed for Japanese landing forces performing amphibious invasions of Pacific islands sans regular port facilities.
