Who does best 15mm light tanks for early Pacific theatre ? I mean: M3A1 Stuart (Zvezda ?) Type 95 Hago Type 97 Shinhota Chi-Ha Best means for me: - easy to assembly - quite detailed - plastic if possible

I believe battlefront just released the Shinhoto Chi-ha and has had the Type 95 for sometime. Also there is a prepainted Shinhoto Chiha and Type 95 in the Axis and Allies minis line, if you can find them, that are also 15mm.

Off the top of my head I would say Flames of War is a good start. I've always liked their stuff for the quality and price… vehicles at least. They are releasing their Pacific collection and I think the tanks you want are in that release. At least the Japanese tanks are.

The Command Decision line has the too I think, in metal. Nice detail on them.

QRF should try renaming some of their tanks. There is no Type 75 (Well there is, but it's a modern 155mm Self propelled howitzer) and that is definitely not a Type 03 Ho-Ni, though if they actually did make a Type 03 it would be awesome.

PSC has a box of 5 M5A1 Stuarts, and they list M3A1 as "in the pipeline". PSC also sell the Zvezda M3A1. BF has a box of 5 Ha-Go "enough to field one platoon, and two models towards your next platoon" [what the?!!]. Doesn't seem to be blisters anymore. Chi-Ha s too.

PSC (Zvezda) has M3A1 Stuarts now. I just bought a platoon pack of 5 tanks. I haven't seen any sign of Japanese tanks on their web site. I bought my Type 75's & Chi Ha's from Battlefront.

The quality Casting range sold by 19th Century/Battlehonors. Singly sold and good variety.
