Trumpeter 00343 1/35 Korea Type 88 K1 Tank Model Kit - Detailed Scale Replica  [TP00343]

Trumpeter 00343 1/35 Korea Type 88 K1 Tank Scale Model

This 1/35 scale Trumpeter kit reproduces the Korea Type 88 K1 tank with careful attention to the vehicle's profile and systems. The real K-1, introduced in 1985, mounts a 105mm M68 gun and uses composite armour for improved crew protection; this model reflects those defining elements for display and study.

Operational Background and Scale Accuracy

The K-1 is notable for its computerized fire control and adjustable suspension, systems that made it a modern main battle tank in its era. The kit represents these items through finely moulded parts, including the laser rangefinder and thermal night sight details that model builders will recognise.

Assembly Notes for Modellers

Building the Trumpeter 00343 requires patience and precise work on the turret and hull to capture the composite armour lines. The assembly rewards careful builders with a scale piece that fits well into modern armoured vehicle displays.
