Newest model of Type 16 MCVThe type 16 mobile combat vehicle is a wheeled armored vehicle of the Ground Self-Defense Force, which has been procured in 2016 and is being deployed nationwide. Equipped with a domestically produced 105 mm cannon with excellent accuracy, it can achieve a maximum speed of approximately 100 km/h thanks to its eight large-diameter tires. It has increased its presence as a cornerstone of the Rapid Response Regiment, which rushes quickly in case of emergency. In addition, the Type 16 mobile combat vehicle has undergone various modifications during mass production based on the opinions of the personnel who actually operated it. Among them, the vehicle manufactured with the budget of 2020, which is the fifth year from the start of procurement, is called C5. A major feature is the air conditioning unit at the rear of the turret, which has been installed since the previous generation C4. In addition, for the first time, the C5 is equipped with a towing winch for quick recovery of immobilized vehicles.Features 1/35 scale assembly plastic model kit. Length 248mm, Width 85mm. Based on research on the actual vehicle, the 105mm cannon mounted on the body with 8 large-diameter tires has been realistically modeled. Reproduced by capturing the features of the C5, such as the air conditioning unit at the rear of the turret, cleaning rod case, additional angles, and antenna guard. You can choose to assemble normal vehicle or vehicle with winch device. Vehicles with winch device can reproduce the state in which the wire pulled out from the storage part at the rear of the vehicle body is pulled out along the pulley on the top surface and the tip is set in front of the vehicle body.

During World War II, the M18 Hellcat was a tank destroyer developed by the United States Army to compete with powerful German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. Equipped with a high-powered 76mm tank gun on an open-top turret that emphasizes search power. To secure space inside the turret, the main gun loading section was laid out with the barrel rotated 45 degrees. In addition, the compact body has been pursued to be lighter, and an automatic transmission and the first torsion bar suspension for American tanks have been introduced. The star-shaped 9-cylinder gasoline engine mounted on the rear of the car body demonstrated a maximum speed of over 80km / h, making it the fastest tracked vehicle in World War II. Production of the Hellcat began in July 1943, welcoming its first line on the Italian front in 1944. After that, he was dispatched to the Northwestern Europe and the Pacific front, and defeated German tanks one after another with hit and away tactics that utilized high-speed performance and firepower. It contributed to the victory of the US military as a pioneer in anti-tank combat. Features M18 Hellcat 1/35 scale, plastic model assembly kit. Overall length 192 mm, overall width 80 mm.

The Sherman – reliable and available in huge numbers - was a gamechanger for the Allies in WWII, and the Easy Eight a prevalent variant most notable for its horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS) and smooth ride. The Easy Eight's career did not end with WWII, however, as a number were refurbished and thrown back into action by a largely demobilized U.S. Army in the Korean War from 1950. They faced off against T34/85s operated by the Korean People's Army with great success, and were later often used in a supporting fire role. This model assembly kit depicts the Korean War variant of the M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman. This kit variant includes new parts!

Accessories show off a sharp finish: late production deflector, communications equipment and more are recreated. Create your own mini diorama by pairing the Easy Eight with the included enemy field car kit model!

Scouting About 1939 saw the debut of the M3A1 scout car, which was an important facet of mechanized U.S. forces. This 4WD vehicle could get 80km/h out of its 87hp 6-cylinder engine, and packed a punch with one 12.7mm and up to two 7.62mm rail-mounted machine guns. It could hold 8 personnel, and was equipped with a front roller to help overcome obstacles, plus armor radiator louvers and armor windshield and side covers. Around 21,000 were produced, and deployed by U.S. forces in the Philippines, Tunisia, Sicily and more. Over 3,000 were also supplied to the Red Army under the auspices of the "Lend-Lease" program; Soviet forces used it in Mechanized and Tank Divisions, fulfilling reconnaissance, command car and even towing roles.
