Since I used the Chi-Ha as the example, I'll lay out all of my 'issues' with them here if you would like to correct them.

Type 97 Chi-Ha replicas which are built on the chassis of the GAZ SU-76M, currently under various different categories:

https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1659413-Made-for-Movie-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_209804-GAZ-SU-76-M.html
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_209809-GAZ-SU-76-M.html
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_857087-GAZ-SU-76-M.html
Perhaps when there's a lot of them like with these they should have their own category? "GAZ SU-76M as Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha"?

Type 97 Chi-Ha replicas which are built on the chassis of the GKN Defence FV 432:

Others:
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_620088-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html - This one I'm pretty sure is meant to be a Mitsubishi Type 2 Ho-I. That was an infantry support tank that used the hull of the Chi-He (the tank that replaced the Chi-Ha, which had squared up frontal armor and a rectangular rear hull, which this replica does) with an enlarged turret.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1529335-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha-1937.html - This is an animated Type 95 Ha-Go, not a Chi-Ha.


There were two versions of the real life Chi-Ha, the early one with a small turret and the later one with a large turret. The later model is normally called Chi-Ha Kai nowadays, "Kai" meaning "improved". "ShinHoTo" used to be more common in Western sources. That means "new turret" transliterated from Japanese. It fell out of favor at least partly because it can be written several different ways, and is more of a slang/informal term.

The large turret models are already listed separately under "Mitsubishi Type 97 ShinHoTo Chi-Ha", except for this one which is listed with the normal small turret models:

I would prefer if you would move that one plus the ones under "ShinHoTo Chi-Ha" to "Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha Kai". That would be more correct, and then they will appear under the normal Chi-Ha category as well.
