Hello, fellow creators of Paper Iconic! Are you ready for another exciting project today?
Military papercraft has always been a fascinating corner of the hobby. Tanks, armored vehicles, and war machines often feature impressive levels of detail, but they can also feel a little intimidating for builders who are more familiar with characters, animals, or simple display models.
That's one reason why this Type 97 Chi-Ha Medium Tank by BoxStudio caught my attention.
Instead of requiring dozens of pages and countless tiny parts, the entire model is built from just three sheets of paper. The result is a compact tank that keeps the recognizable appearance of the historic Type 97 Chi-Ha while remaining approachable enough for a relaxed building session.
Finished at 1:48 scale, the model measures approximately 116 mm long, 49 mm wide, and 47 mm tall. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, yet still includes the details needed to make it feel like a proper military vehicle rather than a simplified toy.
The template supports double-sided printing and comes with assembly instructions, all provided in PDF format.
