Advanced RC Armour: Tamiya 56037 Type 10 Overview

The Tamiya 56037 - 1/16 RC Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 10 Tank Full Option Kit showcases contemporary RC engineering, replicating the form and function of the real Type 10 at scale. It combines precise external detailing with working systems to give hobbyists an authentic build and running experience.

Designed for Mobility and Tactical Systems

The real Type 10 is noted for its 120mm smooth-bore main gun and modular armor layout. Built for agility in mountainous terrain, the platform also features integration with the C4I command systems to improve situational awareness. Its operational introduction from 2012 onward established it as a modern mainstay in Japan's armored fleet.

Authentic Movement, Sound and Effects

The kit reproduces believable movement and audio cues. Twin Torque-Tuned Type 540 motors and the pre-assembled gearbox simulate the tank's power delivery, enabling realistic pivot turns and forward motion. Turret rotation is transmitter controlled with onboard sound effects, an orange LED for simulated muzzle flash, and a recoil mechanism to heighten realism.

Scale Detail and Build Materials

This Tamiya 56037 kit includes scale items such as a heavy machine gun, smoke dischargers and functioning LED headlights. Photo-etched parts are used for the turret basket and grille, while softer materials form the side skirts and metal balls are fitted in the turret ring to improve durability and fit during assembly.

The Tamiya 56037 Type 10 Tank kit is well suited to builders who prioritise scale accuracy and mechanical detail, offering a rewarding assembly and an impressive addition to any RC military collection.
