Intro to the Tamiya 35368 JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle Kit

This 1/35 scale kit reproduces the JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle with an emphasis on authentic form and service details. It is designed for hobbyists looking to build a museum-quality representation of this widely deployed platform.

Accurate Parts for Realistic Results

Included are synthetic rubber tyres that reflect operational tread, clear lenses for realistic lighting, and a die-cast single-piece chassis that adds heft to the completed model. These components improve handling and the finished look.

Assembly Flexibility

The kit offers multiple build choices such as a selectable roof hatch configuration, quad smoke launchers, and a fitted MINIMI machine gun. Interior fittings include seating, a dashboard and small equipment items like a fire extinguisher.

Updated Kit Components

New parts in this release include window frames fitted with dampers, an updated crew figure in recent uniform style, new antennae and a rear storage rack. Three decal schemes represent different JGSDF units for customisation.

Beginners can attempt the build but should expect a learning curve. Smaller parts and the need for neat paintwork mean patience and standard modelling tools are recommended.
Yes, the kit contains one updated figure wearing the current JGSDF uniform to enhance the vehicle display.
Search for 1/35 scale accessories such as figures, stowage, and diorama bases to create scenes that match the vehicle's era and role.
Aftermarket photoetched parts, resin upgrades and brass antennas are commonly used to enhance fine detail, but check fitment and instructions before modifying.
