Trumpeter 00343 1/35 Scale Korea Type 88 K1 Tank

This Trumpeter 1/35 model captures the Korea Type 88 K1 tank in plastic, giving a clear representation of the vehicle's layout and components. The K-1 entered service in 1985 and is known for its 105mm M68 main gun and layered composite armour, both reflected in this kit's moulding.

Context and Model Detail

The K-1's onboard systems like the computerized fire control and adjustable running gear set it apart, and the scale kit echoes those features with precise external fittings. Small details represent the laser rangefinder and thermal sight as part of the turret assembly.

Building Considerations

Constructing this kit is a methodical process that benefits from steady work on the turret, hull joins and suspension parts. The finished model makes a strong addition to a modern armoured vehicle display when assembled and painted carefully.

Yes, decal sheets are provided so you can apply historically accurate insignia and tactical numbers.
The kit has adjustable suspension features modelled into the build, though they are static once glued in place rather than functional moving parts.
Standard acrylic or enamel model paints in service greens and brown tones are appropriate; thin coats and weathering washes help replicate scale realism.
Many modellers upgrade with metal barrels or photo-etch details; check compatibility with 1/35 accessories and plan fitting before gluing.
