Tamiya 89564 1/35 JGSDF Type 90 Tank with Crew Figures  [89564]

Overview of the Tamiya 1/35 Type 90 Tank Model

The Tamiya 1/35 Type 90 kit captures the modern styling and operational look of the Japan Ground Self Defense Force main battle tank. It is intended for modellers who want a realistic contemporary armour subject with options for a small action scene.

Development Context and Modelling Value

Introduced in the 1990s to modernise armoured forces, the Type 90 features advanced suspension and a compact turret silhouette. The kit reproduces those characteristics and the added ammo-loading crew figures provide a dynamic touch to dioramas or display bases.

Construction Experience and Presentation

Precision moulding helps components slot together cleanly, reducing the need for heavy sanding. Clear assembly steps make it straightforward to build subassemblies, and a completed model presents well on a shelf or in a wartime vignette.
