Scale Realism with the Tamiya 56037 Type 10

The Tamiya 56037 - 1/16 RC Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 10 Tank Full Option Kit reproduces the Type 10's silhouette and systems in fine scale. It merges accurate exterior components with operational features to give modellers a practical, hands-on build.

Platform Features and Operational Role

The Type 10 is highlighted by its 120mm smooth-bore main gun and modular armour modules. Engineered for nimble movement across varied terrain, the vehicle also integrates with battlefield C4I networks for improved coordination. Since entering service around 2012, it has been a modern element of Japan's armoured units.

Drive, Effects and Control

This kit is designed to emulate the tank's motion and audio. Twin Torque-Tuned Type 540 motors paired with the pre-built gearbox reproduce realistic power delivery for turning and movement. Turret rotation works with transmitter input, the model includes sound effects, an orange LED muzzle flash and a recoil action for authenticity.

Detailed Parts and Build Experience

The Tamiya 56037 package includes scale accessories such as a heavy machine gun, smoke grenade launchers and LED headlights. Photo-etched elements add fine texture to the turret basket and grille, while softer skirt materials and metal turret ring balls enhance fit and longevity during operation.

Tamiya 56037 Type 10 is ideal for modellers who enjoy detailed builds and operational realism, delivering a high-quality kit that performs well on display or during running sessions.
