Tamiya 35236 1/35 JGSDF Type 90 Tank with Mine Roller Model Kit  [35236]

What the Type 90 with Mine Roller Represents

The Tamiya 1/35 scale kit of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Type 90 Tank with Mine Roller presents a compact study of post-1980s armoured design. The Type 92 Mine Roller was introduced in 1992 as an attachment for the Type 90 to clear pressure-sensitive and magnetic mines ahead of the vehicle. Once the roller is removed the Type 90 continues operating as a conventional main battle tank.

Construction Notes and Scale Details

This release from Tamiya replicates the robust lines of the Type 90 and the technical layout of the mine roller. Modellers will find the pressure-activation roller and magnetic detonation device require precise assembly for authentic results. Two different metal chain types are included to enhance the visual texture, and the commander and gunner figures expand diorama possibilities.
