Trumpeter 07219 Type 90 1:72 Collector Release  [TP07219]

Trumpeter 07219 Type 90 - 1:72 collector's release

This 1:72 scale plastic kit depicts the Japanese Type 90 main battle tank and is designed as a small static model for display and reference in military collections.

The Type 90 programme began with development in 1974 under the TK-X codename. Prototypes and trial batches were produced in the 1980s, with the design completed around 1990 and the vehicle entering service thereafter as part of post-Cold War armoured development.

Model description and build notes

The kit is modelled at 1:72 with injection-moulded parts on multiple sprues, totaling 149 pieces over nine sprues. Major exterior shapes are accurately represented and smaller fittings are supplied as separate parts. The box contains decal options for two historical unit configurations listed in the specifications.

Accuracy and display considerations

Given its scale the model is aimed at static display on small dioramas or shelves. The listed model dimensions make it compatible with most display cases. Those wanting extra fine detail may add aftermarket photo-etch or resin items, although the kit provides the necessary plastic components for a complete build.

A compact 1:72 Type 90 kit offering a tidy parts count and included unit markings, aimed at hobbyists and collectors who favour small static models.
