35368 1/35 JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle

Tamiya 35368 1/35 JGSDF LAV vehicle lightly armored

The latest kit to join the extensive 1/35 Military Miniature Series is this new kit of the Light Armored Vehicle, which recreates a domestic spec version of the vehicle such as that depicted in 1/48 by Item 32590 (previouslyreleased Item 35275 was an Iraq PKO spec vehicle). The Light Armored Vehicle is an integral part of Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) infantry units, key to the emphasis placed on mobility by recent policy changes. Around 1,900 in total have been provided to the JGSDF and the JASDF air arm.
