Tamiya 35208 1/35 JGSDF Type 90 Scale Military Model Kit  [35208]

Why Modellers Choose the Type 90

The Type 90 represents a refinement in main battle tank design, arriving in service in 1990 after careful development. Its combination of mobility, protection and fire control makes it a compelling subject for scale model interpretation.

Technical Background and Authenticity

Featuring a 120mm smoothbore gun and advanced fire control, the Type 90 was built for precise engagement. The kit mirrors the tank's composite armour geometry and external fittings, enabling accurate reproductions.

Kit Highlights for Builders

Tamiya captures signature elements like the coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and the turret 12.7mm mount, delivering crisp moulding and part fit. The kit suits builders who enjoy clean assembly and realistic detail painting.

Showcasing the Finished Model

Once complete, the model looks strong as a display piece or part of a modern combat diorama. Its proportion fidelity and surface detail reward careful painting and finishing techniques.
