Precision modelling for the Type 10 in 1/35

The Tamiya 25173 kit presents the Type 10 tank at 1/35 scale with crisp mould lines and accurate shapes. The inclusion of DEF.MODEL photo-etched components raises the level of surface detail and lets builders try more advanced assembly methods.

Modern armour represented in miniature

As a modern armoured vehicle, the Type 10 is notable for its mobility and modular systems. This kit reproduces key design elements and comes with decals that depict early operational markings to help achieve a credible finished model.

Do the photo-etched parts need shaping?

Some photo-etched items may need gentle bending to match the kit parts. Use a flat nose tool and test-fit before gluing to avoid stress on small tabs.

Which paints work well for JSDF colours?

Match colours using military paint ranges that list Type 10 or JSDF schemes. An airbrush gives the cleanest finish, while brush painting can be used for touch ups and small details.

How long does a build typically take?

Build time varies by skill and finish level; allow several evenings for assembly and more time for painting and weathering if you aim for a display-ready model.

Are there recommended tools to start?

Basic tools like sprue cutters, hobby knife, files, tweezers and fine sandpaper are essential. Add a PE bending tool and precision glue for the photo-etched parts.
