This is a Tamiya 1/16 JGSDF Type 10 Tank Full Option Kit. This kit recreates the Japanese Type 10 Tank, which is also available as a 1/35 scale model kit.

The Type 10, of course, is the high-tech modern addition to the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF), and comes loaded with state-of-the-art features such as a updated 120mm smooth-bore main gun, and modular armor. It was built to a relatively small and lightweight design for suitability of use in the mountainous Japanese archipelago, and offers excellent speed and maneuverability. Perhaps most importantly, it was also designed to be compatible with the modern C4I communications network system. Deployment started in 2012 and continues apace as the Type 10 looks set to be a key element of Japanese ground defense armor.
Full cooperation from the JGSDF led to this highly accurate recreation of the compact Type 10 with 120mm smoothbore gun. Take control of the Type 10’s smooth and powerful forward/reverse movement, a range of turns and pivots, turret rotation and gun elevation. Gun and hull recoil are also recreated. Authentic engine and firing sounds were recorded from the full-size tank and are coordinated with model actions. The main gun and coaxial machine gun flash when fired. A new gun barrel control system factors in model movement and elevation changes to keep main gun automatically trained in a direction set via transmitter. The dedicated gun barrel servo also controls movement after firing, and corrects elevation to prevent contact with turret rear when rotating at low elevation. This model is compatible with Item TAM53447 Tamiya Battle System for 1/16 Scale R/C Tanks (Sold Seperately).


Features:
  • Chassis, suspension arms, and drive sprocket are recreated by metal parts for a realistically weighty driving experience.
  • Aluminum barrel forms the centerpiece of the accurate depiction of the main gun.
  • Pre-assembled tracks are replicated accurately using durable plastic.
  • All movements are accompanied by sounds emitted from the speaker unit mounted in the rear of the hull.


Realistic Mobility
Rear-mounted pre-assembled gearbox features twin Torque-Tuned Type 540 motors for plenty of power. Power transmission mechanics follow those on a full-size tank: one motor controls forward/reverse; the other controls right and left track speed, allowing a realistic range of turns, plus pivoting.


Turret & Main Gun
Turret rotation is accompanied by realistic sounds, and its speed can be controlled via transmitter. When turret is rotated with gun lowered, gun elevation servo automatically raises the barrel to clear hull rear, then returns to original position. When firing, the main gun roars and muzzle flashes thanks to an orange LED in the barrel. Gun barrel recoils after firing via turret interior gearbox, and vehicle kickback is also recreated by drive gearbox. After firing, gun automatically goes to loading position then returns to previous firing angle.


About the Type 10 Tank
Officially approved in 2010, the Type 10 reflects the latest military technology and the needs of the modern Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF). This state-of-the-art vehicle features a L/44 120mm smoothbore main gun that possesses stabilizers, and an automatic target tracking system that functions with tremendous accuracy even when the Type 10 is on the move. Compatibility with the C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence) system ensures units operate in harmony. A 1,200hp diesel engine and continuously variable transmission secure impressive mobility in conjunction with the hydraulic semi-active suspension. Modular armor sections on the hull and turret provide top level protection, and can be removed to allow swift transportation of the Type 10. Deployment commenced in 2012, with units undertaking training exercises as the Japan Ground Self Defense Force looked to phase in the Type 10, in place of the Type 74.
