The "Chi-nu" (Type 3) was the most effective Japanese medium tank at the end of World War II. Its main armament, the 75 mm Type 3 gun, gave it the ability to engage American Shermans and other Allied vehicles. Although these tanks appeared too late to take part in major combat operations outside Japan, they remain an important piece of Japanese armored history during World War II.

The RB Model 35B109 metal barrel was designed not only for maximum historical dimensional accuracy but also for ease of installation—simply replace the resin or plastic kit part with this metal barrel to achieve much higher detail and surface realism. The product is dedicated both to advanced modelers and intermediate enthusiasts who value detailed accuracy and durability of their models.

The assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5—only basic skill in working with small metal parts is required. The barrel fits most popular Chi-nu model kits by renowned manufacturers (e.g., Tamiya, Fine Molds), making it an excellent choice for anyone wishing to elevate their replica to display standards.

RB Model 35B109 is a product we strongly recommend to diorama enthusiasts, historical modelers, and anyone seeking the most accurate accessories for Japanese World War II military vehicle models.
