Tamiya 35331 1/35 Japan Type 1 Self-Propelled Gun kit overview

The Japan Type 1 Self-Propelled Gun first appeared in 1943 and, despite limited production of around 140 units, made a noticeable impact on World War II battlefields. The Tamiya 35331 kit recreates this vehicle with careful attention to scale detail for modellers who value historical accuracy.

Context and modelling interest

This subject represents the Japan Type 1 Self-Propelled Gun, respected by allied forces for its role even with small numbers in the field. Tamiya researched period sources and surviving examples to provide a faithful kit. It is well suited to hobbyists focused on accurate finishes and fine detailing.

What the kit includes and build notes

The Tamiya 35331 set delivers a full assembly experience. It comes with a 75mm field gun, belt-type tracks and four soldier figures to stage the vehicle. The parts list also covers armor-piercing and howitzer-style ammunition, plus decal sheets for unit markings.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 173mm
  • Width: 67mm
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly type: Glue required
  • Decals: Included
The kit uses belt-type tracks that are fixed in position once glued; they are not engineered for running suspension motion.
Standard plastic model cement and basic hobby tools are sufficient. Fine files and tweezers help with small detail parts and decals.
Use model acrylics or enamels in wartime Japanese army tones; research reference photos for accurate camouflage and insignia placement.
