Aoshima A005894 1/35 Type 73 Truck SKW-464

The Type 73 heavy-duty truck(SKW-464) is a general-purpose vehicle for the transportation of personnel and goods which was first used in 1973. In Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force, it is deployed in almost all units regardless of occupation, such as ordinary department, armor department, special department, etc. It is also operated by the Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Air Self-Defense Force. This vehicle's high durability and ability to handle rough terrain also greatly contributes to disaster dispatch and lifesaving efforts in various places. This version of this kit includes newly molded parts (hood and wheels of the two windows) in addition to the characteristic round cab and air cleaner. The kit can be built with the hood removed; the front wheels will be steerable after assembly. The rear axle moves too, so you can experience the excellent rough terrain performance of the actual vehicle. Clear parts are used for lights and reflectors throughout the kit, the tires are radial rubber, and two figures are included as well.
