Tamiya 89564 1/35 Type 90 Tank Kit with Ammo-Loading Crew  [89564]

Tamiya 89564 1/35 Type 90 Tank Model Overview for Scale Modellers

The Tamiya 1/35 scale Type 90 Tank kit reproduces one of the most capable modern main battle tanks fielded by the Japan Ground Self Defense Force. The set is aimed at hobbyists who value precise surface detail and authentic proportions when building contemporary military subjects.

Origins and Modelling Interest

Developed in the 1990s to succeed older designs, the Type 90 brought improved firepower and protection to Japan's armoured units. This kit reflects the tank's distinctive low profile turret and hull lines, and the included ammo-loading crew figures help create a lifelike maintenance or loading vignette.

Assembly Flow and Display Tips

Tamiya engineering offers parts that align cleanly, helping reduce fit adjustments during assembly. The instructions walk builders through subassemblies, and a finished model makes for a convincing display piece that highlights both engineering detail and realistic crew work.
