- The Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle, which began development in 2007 based on the Ground Self-Defense Force's new defense plan, replaces the Type 74 tank, which is being retired due to the end of its service life, with a wheeled high mobility and Type 74 tank. As the first domestically produced wheeled combat vehicle equipped with a corresponding 105mm rifle gun, at the end of August 2017, starting with the 4th company of the 42nd Ordinary Regiment (reorganized into the 42nd Rapid Reaction Regiment at the end of March of the following year), each Priority was given to deployment to the newly reorganized Rapid Response Regiment and Reconnaissance Combat Battalion.
- In response to requests from deployed units, various improvements were added in stages, and from the C4 type, an air conditioner was installed in the basket at the rear of the turret to reduce crew fatigue, and the shape of the rear of the turret was changed. Furthermore, as of 2023, more than six years after the start of deployment, the deployment of the latest C5 type troops is underway.
-From this C5 type, in order to secure the storage space that has been reduced due to the installation of the air conditioner, major modifications have been made to each part, such as adding angle material to the rear of the top of the turret.
-Furthermore, as a variation type, deployment with a winch device is also progressing in order to ensure the recovery ability of the equipped unit.
-This Twilight model decal set is tailored to the Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle C5 (with winch device) released by Tamiya in July 2023, and the body number of the C5 standard car with air conditioner is also the same. I am adding to the department.
-In addition, since the C5 (with winch device) was additionally deployed to the units that deployed the Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle in the early stages, we also added these unit marks.
-A total of 10 types, including new unit marks for the 3rd Reconnaissance Combat Battalion, 12th Reconnaissance Combat Battalion, and 6th Rapid Reconnaissance Regiment (this unit is reproduced with a body number without a winch device) reorganized in March 2023. This is the content that you can choose.
-In addition, the 1/35MM series ITEM: 35361 type 16 mobile combat vehicle released by Tamiya in 2018 is a type called C1 in the first year of procurement, and according to this, it is already on sale as a twilight model 1/35 1 /48 TM-11 Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle Decal Set A has different product contents such as body number, so this will continue to be sold.
- Decal size is 93mm x 136.5mm
