Trumpeter 07219 Type 90 Tank - 1:72 Plastic Scale Kit  [TP07219]

Trumpeter Type 90 tank 07219 - compact 1:72 display model

This 1:72 plastic model kit represents the Japanese Type 90 main battle tank and is produced as a small-scale static assembly aimed at collectors and display builders in military modelling.

The Type 90 has its origins in development work begun in 1974 under the provisional designation TK-X. Prototype and test production activity occurred through the 1980s, with design finalization around 1990 leading to service introduction as Japan's post-Cold War main battle tank.

Model description and build notes

The kit reproduces the vehicle at 1:72 scale using injection-moulded plastic on multiple sprues, totaling 149 parts across nine sprues. Major hull and turret shapes are captured, with separate small components supplied as individual parts. The box contains decal options for two historical unit markings as noted in the specifications.

Accuracy and display considerations

At this scale the model is intended primarily for static display on small dioramas or bases. The listed finished dimensions (length, width, height) make it suitable for cabinet presentation or combined small-scale scenes. Builders seeking extra surface finesse can add aftermarket photo-etch or resin accessories, though the kit provides a full complement of plastic parts for a complete build.

A neat 1:72 interpretation of the Type 90 for collectors and hobbyists seeking a small static model with a moderate parts count and included unit decals.
