Tamiya 35236 1/35 JGSDF Type 90 Tank with Mine Roller Detailed Kit  [35236]

Summary of the Type 90 and Its Mine Clearing Role

The Tamiya 1/35 scale rendition of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Type 90 Tank with Mine Roller presents a precise look at contemporary armoured capability. The Type 92 Mine Roller, developed after the Type 90 series and introduced in 1992, functions as an attachable system to detonate pressure and magnetic mines before the vehicle passes. Detaching the roller returns the Type 90 to regular operational duties.

Kit Composition and Craftsmanship

Tamiya reproduces the solid form of the Type 90 and the mechanics of the mine roller with accurate moulding. The pressure-actuated roller and the magnetic detonator elements require careful alignment during build for convincing realism. Two types of metal chains are provided to add texture, and the kit includes commander and gunner figures for realistic scene building.
