Type 74 Tank Winter Version (1/35) 35168
This 1/35 scale model recreates the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force’s Type 74 main battle tank in its distinctive winter camouflage. Developed as a successor to the Type 61, the Type 74 was officially adopted in September 1974 and incorporated advanced features for its time, including the NATO-standard L7A1 105mm main gun, a laser range finder, and a modern fire control system.
- Detailed depiction of the Type 74’s low-profile cast steel turret and winter camouflage scheme.
- Includes accessories such as crew skis and cold weather equipment for snowy environment operations.
- Features Mitsubishi V10 2-stroke diesel engine detail with accurate hull and suspension components.
- Adjustable air and hydraulic suspension height control system replicated in model form.
The Type 74 served as a versatile and well-equipped main battle tank for the JGSDF, with this winter variant optimised for operations in snow-covered terrain. Its white and green camouflage provided concealment in cold climate environments, while specialised equipment ensured operational capability in extreme weather.
