Tamiya 35331 1/35 Japan Type 1 Self-Propelled Gun - product brief

Deployed from 1943, the Japan Type 1 Self-Propelled Gun saw limited production but is noted in wartime histories. The Tamiya 35331 kit reproduces the vehicle in 1/35 scale with a focus on authentic external details for scale model enthusiasts.

Background and modelling interest

This release represents the Japan Type 1 Self-Propelled Gun, which US forces regarded as a capable platform despite modest deployment. Tamiya based the kit on historical records to provide a realistic construction and finishing experience.

Assembly contents and model highlights

The Tamiya 35331 kit includes the 75mm main gun, belt-type track components and four crew figures to enhance display possibilities. The box also contains representations of armor-piercing and howitzer ammunition along with decal sheets for unit insignia.

No metal upgrades are supplied; the kit's details are produced in injection-moulded plastic.
