1:48 Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 16 Maneu

1/48 Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle

Hot on the heels of its 1/35 scale cousin (Item 35361) comes this 1/48 scale rendition of the cutting edge Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF) Type 16, with a dedicated new parts breakdown specially designed for this product.

JGSDF units began receiving the eight-wheel Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle (MCV) in 2017; it is expected to form a central part of the Rapid Deployment Regiments called for in a mobile Japanese defense policy.

It certainly fits the bill, with a top speed of 100km/h thanks to a 570hp engine, and can utilize public highways as well as being airlifted. The distinctively modern turret is equipped with spaced armor and a domestically designed L/52 105mm rifled gun, working in conjunction with an advanced fire control system.
