1/48 JGSDF Type 10 Tank

Tamiya's popular 1/48 Military Miniature Series features a broad line-up of models depicting historically important vehicles. Now, it welcomes its first model of a tank in current service - the Japanese Type 10 main battle tank. This model is not simply a smaller scale version of the 1/35 scale Type 10 - it recreates a tank from the newer fourth production lot (C4), which was delivered from 2014 to Spring 2015 and featured a number of evolutions of the original design. The Type 10 was originally commissioned in 2010 and is a new cornerstone for the Japan Ground Self Defence Force with Japanese-made 120mm main gun, modular Armour, excellent manoeuvrability, and compatibility with the modern C4I network system.

• This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 199mm, width: 72mm.
• The sleek, modern design of the Type 10 is accurately captured in concise 1/48 scale, from the distinctive modular turret/hull armour to the 120mm gun.
• C4 production lot-specific features such as the altered fender and turret rack designs, plus the updated antenna are faithfully recreated.
• Weights are provided in the kit to give the model a realistically heavy feel.
• Link-and-length type assembly tracks feature 1-piece straight sections.
• 2 marking options are included, to recreate a Type 10 from the JGSDF 1^st or 8^th Tank Battalions.
• Comes with 1 commander torso figure to add further life to the model.

Please note: Miniature comes unpainted and some assembly will be required.
