Scale accuracy and surface detail for the Type 10

The Tamiya 25173 recreates the Type 10 tank in 1/35 with well-defined panels and precise fits. DEF.MODEL photo-etched items increase fidelity on thin components and fine surface features, offering a step up for dedicated builders.

Design context and kit contents

The Type 10 is a modern main battle tank with emphasis on mobility and systems integration. This kit mirrors the vehicle's contemporary shape and supplies decals for early deployment markings to help achieve a realistic presentation.

Scale: 1/35
Material: Plastic with photo-etched parts
Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting
Decal Options: Includes special marking decals

What basic tools will I need?

Start with sprue cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks and tweezers. For best results with photo-etched parts, add a small bending tool and fine-point applicator for glue.

Can this kit be motorised or made RC?

This is a static model kit designed for display. Converting it to RC would require significant modification and custom parts, so it is typically kept as a non-powered scale build.

How are the decals supplied?

The kit includes decals for early deployment markings. Use decal setting solution and a clear coat to ensure they sit flush on the model surface.

Any tips for handling small parts?

Work over a tray to catch dropped pieces, keep parts organised in small containers, and use magnification for alignment. Patience and gentle pressure pay off when fitting tiny components.
