Tamiya 35383 - 1/35 JGSDF Type 16 MCV C5 with Winch - Accurate Scale Replica

The Tamiya 35383 kit recreates the Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle, C5 variant fitted with a winch, in precise 1/35 scale. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who appreciate accurate military subjects and hands-on assembly work.

Scale fidelity and fine features

This edition highlights the C5 specific items, including the turret rear air conditioning unit, a cleaning rod case and antenna guards on the turret sides. Builders can choose to fit the winch or omit it for alternate displays. Photo-etched parts are supplied to improve the look of the turret basket guards, and masking stickers help achieve neat paint lines.

Box contents and display choices

Included are one complete soldier figure plus two torso figures to represent a commander and a loader. The semi-pneumatic tyres carry realistic surface texture and tread definition. Two decal schemes are provided to represent vehicles from the 4th Company, Armor School Regiment, or the Combat Company of the 1st Reconnaissance Combat Battalion.
