Tamiya 35075 1/35 Type 97 Japanese Medium Tank - Kit Introduction

The Tamiya 35075 1/35 kit recreates the Japanese Type 97 medium tank with precise plastic mouldings and historically informed components. It is well suited to scale modellers aiming for a faithful wartime representation.

Historical role and modelling value

The Type 97 played a notable role in Japanese armoured forces and is distinguished by an unbalanced turret and seesaw suspension. This kit captures those features, supplied in army green plastic for a period-appropriate starting point.

Assembly details and included items

Box contents include detailed exterior parts, two unassembled crew figures, rubber track sections and waterslide decals. Comprehensive pictorial instructions are provided and glue is required for assembly and finishing.

  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue

Is this kit appropriate for display-only projects?

Absolutely. With careful painting and weathering the model makes an excellent static display piece, whether on a shelf or in a diorama setting.

How accurate are the decals and markings?

The waterslide decals offer historically styled markings. For extra fidelity, match paints and apply subtle weathering to blend the decals into the finished finish.

Can I convert this kit into a diorama subject?

Yes. The kit's exterior detail and included figures make it a good candidate for a small diorama. Consider basework and accessory scatter to imply operational context.
