Tamiya 35361 JGSDF Type 16 Manoeuver Combat Vehicle 1/35 Scale

Japan Ground Self-Defence Force units began receiving the eight-wheel Type 16 Manoeuver Combat Vehicle in 2017; it is expected to form a central part of the Rapid Deployment Regiments called for in a mobile Japanese defence policy. It certainly fits the bill, with a top speed of 100km/h thanks to a 570hp engine, and can utilize public highways as well as being airlifted. The distinctively modern turret is equipped with spaced armour and a domestically designed L/52 105mm rifled gun, working in conjunction with an advanced fire control system.
