Tamiya 35208 1/35 Type 90 JGSDF Precision Model Kit  [35208]

Scale Study of the JGSDF Type 90

The Type 90 stands as a notable example of late 20th century tank development, entering service in August 1990 after extensive design refinement. Its balance of protection and firepower makes it an interesting subject for scale replication.

Operational Heritage and Realism

At the heart of the Type 90 is a 120mm smoothbore cannon coupled with a modern fire control suite, enabling accurate engagement on the move. The model captures the vehicle's sloped armour and structural rhythms useful for authentic finishing techniques.

Build Features and Detail

Tamiya's tooling recreates the Type 90s key external features, including the coaxial 7.62mm and turret-mounted 12.7mm weapons. Parts alignment and well-defined surfaces provide a satisfying build path for modellers focused on precision.

Display Options

Whether displayed in a contemporary armour vignette or on a shelf, the model's proportions and detailing give it strong presence. It is an excellent choice for those assembling modern defence collections or diorama scenes.
