Flames of War – Type 1 Ho-Ni I SPG Platoon (x3)
Adaptation through necessity—Japan’s answer to mobile fire support.
Due to limited industrial capacity and resources, Japan’s armed forces relied heavily on modified designs rather than purpose-built vehicles. The Type 1 Ho-Ni I was one such adaptation—mounting a powerful 75mm Type 90 field gun in an open-top fighting compartment on the reliable Chi-Ha chassis. Designed to operate both as a mobile anti-tank platform and indirect fire artillery, it offered armored divisions much-needed versatility in firepower.
Functionally similar to Germany’s Marder series, the Ho-Ni I brought greater fire support to the battlefield while remaining cost-effective to produce. Deployed by Japanese armored divisions, these vehicles were used in both direct and support roles throughout the Pacific campaigns.
This set includes three resin and metal miniatures, perfect for adding mobile firepower to your Imperial Japanese army in Flames of War.

3x Resin and Metal Type 1 Ho-Ni I Self-Propelled Guns (with 75mm Type 90 gun)
