Default Type 89 tank

I read a bit about them, and they have a diesel engine apparently, but probably not turbo equpped. I just happened on this video while looking for something else, just luck. I think Fred Ropkey has a "Ha-Go" light tank in his collection in Indiana, and it probably runs. He was the person who supplied the Sherman for the James Garner " Tank" movie.The type 89 entered sevice in 1932 ,as per Wikipedia, so is an early model Japanese tank.It reminds me of the Vickers Mk. III medium tank from the late 20`s ,which I`m sure was some of the inspiration behind the type 89
