Description
The vehicle was powered by a 45-horsepower engine, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 60 km/h on roads and 7 km/h in reverse. The Type 92 was equipped with two Type 3 6.5 mm machine guns, one mounted in the turret and another in the bow. Its armour thickness ranged from 8 to 11 mm, providing basic protection against small arms fire.
The Type 92 had a straightforward design, with a front engine compartment, a driver’s compartment, and a fighting compartment at the rear. The turret had full traverse and was equipped with a searchlight. The vehicle’s suspension system used leaf springs, and it had metal spoke wheels with standard inflated tires.
Production numbers for the Type 92 are unclear, with some sources suggesting only one prototype was built, while others claim up to 500 units were produced. The vehicle saw limited use, primarily in China, and remains a lesser-known example of Japan’s early armoured vehicle development

Good model ove all, nice detail. Just have a small drill bit ready as the holes for the axels in the wheels are too small for the axels, other wise a good model that required minimal clean up.
