1:35 JGSDF MCV Type 16
Item #35361

Description

Japan Ground Self-Defense Force units began receiving the eight
wheel Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle in 2017; it is expected to
form a central part of the Rapid Deployment Regiments called for
in a mobile Japanese defense policy.

It certainly fits the bill, with a top speed of 100km/h thanks to
a 570hp engine, and can utilize public highways as well as being
airlifted. The distinctively modern turret is equipped with
spaced armor and a domestically designed L/52 105mm rifled gun,
working in conjunction with an advanced fire control system.

The result is a highly capable and mobile vehicle that is a new,
cutting-edge addition to the venerable Tamiya 1/35 Military
Minature Series.
