Tamiya 1/35 Military - Type 74 Tank Winter Version - 35168

The Tamiya 1/35 JGSDF Type 74 Tank Winter Version (35168) reproduces the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force's second-generation main battle tank in its distinctive white winter camouflage — the scheme applied for cold-weather operations in Japan's Hokkaido region. The Type 74 was a significant advancement over the Type 61, featuring a hydropneumatic suspension that could be raised, lowered, or tilted to adapt to different terrain and firing positions. Its 105mm L7 rifled gun was one of the most effective tank guns of its era.

The winter white scheme provides an attractive and unusual painting challenge for any Japanese armour enthusiast.
