The Type 2 Ka-Mi tank was developed in response to the Japanese Navy's need for armored equipment capable of operating both on land and in water. The Dragon 7485 model represents the vehicle in one of its most interesting versions – with pontoons providing buoyancy. This vehicle distinguished itself mainly during the battles for the Pacific islands, where it was used in amphibious assault operations.

We particularly recommend the Dragon 7485 set to historical modeling enthusiasts interested in the less common armored vehicles of World War II, as well as to collectors of Pacific theater items. The precision of craftsmanship ensures that the model looks excellent both in dioramas and as a standalone exhibit, offering rich detail and faithfulness to the original.
