Fine Molds 1/35 Military Imperial Japanese Army Type 89 Medium Tank Otsu (Cargo-Loaded)

Plastic model [Scale] 1/35 The Type 89 tank, the first official tank in Japan, was equipped with a gasoline engine when it was first developed, but it was converted to an "air-cooled diesel engine" that does not require cooling water, improves fuel efficiency, and can reduce the risk of the tank body catching fire due to fuel leaks, etc., assuming operation on the continent, where water is difficult to secure. The type of engine that will be replaced will be the "air-cooled diesel engine". The type with this engine is called "Type B," and the type with the gasoline engine until then was called "Type A" to distinguish it from the other types. In this kit, the differences such as the refueling port on the upper surface of the body, which is a characteristic of the Type B, are reproduced in detail. In addition, plastic parts are used to model the luggage wrapped in a sheet placed on the tail body at the rear of the vehicle, which is often seen in photos from that era. You can reproduce the appearance that looks good in the scene. The anti-aircraft machine gun can be mounted on the gun rack or stowed away. The crawler belt is made of soft plastic and the muffler cover is made of etched plastic.
