Trumpeter 1/35 JGSDF Type 96 WAPC B: Scale Accuracy and Detail

The Trumpeter 1/35 Type 96 WAPC B reproduces the modern Japanese armoured personnel carrier with close attention to proportion and surface detail. Introduced in the mid 1990s, the Type 96 is noted for its rugged layout and troop transport role, carrying up to eight infantry plus a two person crew.

Design Heritage and Operational Role

Standardised in 1996, the Type 96 WAPC reflects practical engineering for mobility and protection. The kit mirrors key exterior features such as the driver hatch, weapon cupola and multiple troop access points, making it easy to convey the vehicle's operational purpose on the shelf.

Modeling Features and Build Experience

This static kit from Trumpeter includes over 410 parts with metal rail chain and a single photo etched fret. Precision slide moulded hull sections and optional display choices for the crew door increase realism, while finely detailed rubber tyres complete the finished appearance.
