Type 97-kai, 2nd Armored Division, 3rd Company, 7th Tank Regiment, 2nd Armored Division, Luzon, Philippines, January 1945. This Shinhoto Chi-Ha is in the simplified 1942 finish of overall parched grass with bands of willow green and mahogany brown. The 7th Tank Regiment were marked with the usual Japanese cherry blossom insignia with a circle inside. The marking in front of it is the traditional “Tomoe” design, derived from the family crest of Oishi Kuranosuke, leader of the legendary 47 Ronin warriors of 1702. On the side of the gun cover is an Ai-koku presentation marking consisting of two stylized circular characters above, and the symbols for Dai Nippon (Greater Japan) below.
