Product Description
The Type 89 tank, Japan's first officially adopted tank, was initially equipped with a gasoline engine. However, anticipating operation on the continent where water resources are scarce, it was later fitted with an air-cooled diesel engine, which eliminates the need for coolant, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces the risk of hull fires due to fuel leaks.
The type equipped with this engine was called Type B, while the vehicles previously equipped with gasoline engines were called Type A to distinguish them.
This kit meticulously reproduces the differences that characterize the Type B, such as the fuel filler cap on the top of the hull and the air intake on the top of the hull.
Furthermore, the luggage wrapped in a sheet and placed on the rear of the vehicle, a common sight in photographs from that era, can be modeled using plastic parts, allowing for a visually striking reproduction of the scene.
The anti-aircraft machine gun can be mounted on a gun mount or stowed away.
The tracks are made of soft resin belts, and the muffler cover is reproduced using photo-etched parts.
