CFS API Macro--Half-track Hino Type 1 "Ho-Ha", CFS version of a WWII ground vehicle. The Ho-Ha half track APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) and Type 1 Ho-Ki full tracked APC, were developed as the result of a request from the Imperial Army for a heavy armored artillery tractor which could also serve as a personnel transport. Production of both, tracked Ho-Ki and half-track Ho-Ha APCs began in 1941, and both versions were confusingly designated "Type 1". Both versions were built by Hino Motors Company. By Edmundo Abad.
