When completed, the tank will look fully original but of course will not be. Ross used a 4 cyl. 70 hp Deutz air cooled diesel for the
power plant. All the upper hull will be fabbed from new steel. Tank will be fully operational when complete other than the 37mm which
will look original but will not fire. Portions of hull sides were cut out and were replaced (Ross Rockstad)

Type 95 Ha-Go Private collection (UK)


This tank was previously displayed at the Zero Park, Shirahama (Japan). This tank bears a Hull Number 4225 and appears to have
been made in the period February-March 1943. It carries a late-war high velocity Type 98 37mm cannon. It was one of about 20 Type
95 tanks issued to Dokuritsu Konseii 52 Ryodan (52nd Independant Mixed Brigade) and sent in 1943 to Ponape (Pohnpei) Island near
Truk in the Pacific Ocean; an island that was never invaded by the Americans. Most of the remaining tanks are still there. In about
1985, tank number 4225 was acquired by Major General Seigo's Museum Foundation in complete unrestored condition. It was shipped
back to Japan and put on display after external restoration at the Military Museum in Kyoto. When the museum closed the tank was
moved to the Zero Park Display Area at Shirahama Gyoen Hotel near Osaka, and when this closed in 2005, it was purchased by a
British collector, and shipped to England. It is currently in Wroclaw, Poland where it is being restored to running order by Lewszyk
Engineering Works. On completion in 2011-12, the tank will be put it on display at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

Type 95 Ha-Go Australian War Memorial, Canberra (Australia)


One of the two Japanese tanks that was captured in a pivotal action at Milne Bay in New Guinea in September 1942 after the defeat of
the Japanese landing force. It had been involved in actions with Australian infantry of the 61st and 2/10th Batallions, and was stopped
by SX1603 Jack OBrien with a Boyes anti-tank rifle on 28 August 1942. The tank was brought to Australia, dismantled, examined and
partially reassembled by the Army. It was damaged by mine testing, then languished outside in a scrap yard for many years, and was
then acquired by a private collector in the 1970s. The tank was repainted at that time and put into a diorama type display. No other
conservation work was done other than the loose replacement of a non original track on one side of the tank. The Australian War
Memorial acquired the tank in 2005 following the dispersal of this private collection, and restored it (AWM website)

Fifteen Type 95 Ha-Go tanks The Japanese Tank Farm, Kolonia


Pohnpei Island (Micronesia)
In the hillside of the Adams property, there were a number of large trenches cut like revetments and into these were parked 15
Japanese tanks, numbered 1 to 15 (http://www.pacificwrecks.com/provinces/fed_kolonia.html#adams). According to Stan Gadja, "No.
8 will be the basis of a complete restoration because it is the commander's tank - note the smoke grenade launchers on the turret"

uncovered, 83-year-old U Se Nar, said the tank had been left behind by the Japanese Army when it departed Burma in 1945. He said
he buried the tank on the property in 1972, because the steel had no value at that moment (Myanman Times)

Im looking for photos of those tanks :


any Japanese Tankette or Light Tank that I forgot.

This work would not have been as complete as it is, without the great help of
Trevor Larkum and Allan Kelly, and their document Preserved Japanese Tanks, which
was released online for several years. Thanks to them for their researches.
This document is a synthesis of photos and information published on the web.
I would like to thank the people who took these photos and put them on their websites, or
sent them to me, and also those who helped me doing these lists (particularly people of
the AFV News Discussion Board). For any question, you can email me at
soldat_ryan@hotmail.com
