Japan's First Post-War Tank
The design of the Type 61 tank reflected the specific needs of the Japanese islands, which meant smaller dimensions and lower weight for easy transport on the local railway network. The machine was inspired by American tanks but received numerous modifications and a 90mm gun, which was the standard at the time. It served exclusively on Japanese territory, forming the backbone of armored forces throughout the sixties and seventies before being gradually replaced by the more modern Type 74.
Detailed Models from Two Brands
In this category, we will please fans of Asian military equipment with beautifully crafted models in the compact 1:72 scale. We offer a very affordable miniature by the De Agostini publisher in the standard green livery of the Japanese army. More demanding collectors will appreciate the premium piece from the WarMaster manufacturer, representing a specific machine from 1970 in a very attractive multi-color camouflage with distinctive identification markings. Both models perfectly combine heavy metal and precise plastic details.
