Military Series - No. 15 - Japan Ground Self-Defense Force - Light Armored Vehicle - Plastic Model Product Description
This is an unpainted kit requiring glue assembly and painting.
Although it is 1/72 scale, the detailed sculpting is as meticulous as a 1/35 scale model.
This small armored vehicle, which began procurement and deployment by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force in 2002, seats 3-4 people per vehicle and was developed for strategic/battlefield maneuvering in multiple vehicles.
It is a wheeled, 4x4, all-wheel drive vehicle with a 4.8L diesel turbo engine.
It has five access doors and a hatch above the vehicle for a gun turret.
The reconnaissance version is assigned to reconnaissance units under each division/brigade, and its distinctive exterior features include a rack on top and, in recent years, an antenna mast added above the driver's door. Basic Features and Specifications: Includes two light armored vehicles. 1/72 scale, finished size is 62 x 31 x 45mm (with antenna installed). The body is a slide-molded unit with the front, sides, and top surfaces integrated into one piece. The front lights are reproduced using separate transparent parts. The rear lights have separate transparent lens parts. The glass is a separate, externally fitted part. The rear of the body is a separate part, and the blind holes can be opened to allow for the installation of additional accessories. The non-slip surface of the body is expressed using detailed surface engraving. The interior of the body is also reproduced using separate parts. The seat (back) is a separate part. The floor and interior are separate parts, reducing the need for separate paint jobs. The gun mount hatch can be selected to be opened or closed.・The gun mount is designed to rotate 360 degrees even after assembly. ・Includes a 5.56mm MINIMI machine gun and shield parts for mounting on the gun mount. ・The E-Pi is a separate part, allowing you to choose whether it's mounted or not. ・The left and right front mirrors are provided as a single part, including both the rear and under mirrors and arms. ・The main undercarriage parts are composed of three parts, reproducing the flat yet distinctive uneven shape. ・The suspension is a separate part, allowing for full expression without omissions. ・The tow hook is a separate part. It is also possible to recreate the early model without the tow hook. ・Features and Specifications Unique to This Product ・Special parts are available for the JGSDF Intelligence Platoon specification, recreating its shape. ・Bulletproof reinforced glass: Includes window frames and window parts with reinforced side and rear glass. ・Additional radio mast/antenna: Includes an antenna mast and antenna installed above the front door on the right side of the vehicle. Standard Radio Mast/Antenna: Only the antenna masts on the left and right rear of the vehicle are included, with the antenna-mounted parts. Ceiling Rack: Includes rack parts that are only equipped on some JGSDF vehicles. Field Radio: Includes a conventional type radio mounted inside the vehicle. Wide-Area Multipurpose Radio: Includes a new type radio that is currently being updated with a digital system. The included decals are exclusive to the reconnaissance model. Includes notations for a wide range of units, including the 1st to 15th Reconnaissance Squadrons, the Armored Training Regiment/Reconnaissance Squadron, and the 4th Reconnaissance Fighter Battalion. Unit markings are included for the 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Reconnaissance Squadrons.
