Trumpeter 00343 1/35 Korea Type 88 K1 Tank Representation

This Trumpeter 1/35 model faithfully portrays the Korea Type 88 K1 tank, offering modellers a clear representation of the vehicle's external arrangement. The K-1, fielded from 1985, is fitted with a 105mm M68 main gun and composite armour, details echoed in the kit's component layout.

Design Origins and Scale Fidelity

The K-1's computerized fire control and adjustable suspension are part of its operational profile, and the model mirrors these through accurate moulded parts. The kit includes detailed elements that denote the laser rangefinder and thermal sight installations common to the platform.

Construction Advice for Modellers

Assembling the Trumpeter 00343 benefits from organised work on small parts and the turret assembly to preserve panel detail. Once painted and weathered, the finished model sits well among modern armoured vehicle displays.
