The Tamiya 1/48 JGSDF Type 16 Manoeuvre Combat Vehicle (32596) reproduces Japan's advanced wheeled fire support vehicle — the 8x8 MCV that gives JGSDF rapid deployment forces the firepower of a tank destroyer in a highly mobile and air-transportable package. Armed with a 105mm rifled gun, the Type 16 can be flown to a crisis location on JASDF transport aircraft and engage enemy armour immediately on arrival. It represents Japan's innovative response to the challenge of island and rapid-reaction defence.
An impressive and important modern Japanese military subject in the 1/48 scale.
