HobbyBoss 1/35 PLA Type 59 Medium Tank – 84548

Add an important Cold War-era Chinese armored vehicle to your collection with the HobbyBoss 1/35 PLA Type 59 Medium Tank.

The Type 59 was China's first mass-produced main battle tank and was based on the Soviet T-54 design. This HobbyBoss kit depicts the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Type 59, making it an excellent subject for modelers looking to build something different from the more commonly seen American, German, or Soviet armor.

This is a highly detailed 1/35 scale kit featuring more than 520 parts. The kit includes a two-directional slide-molded lower hull and turret, 192 individual track links, photo-etched parts, and a copper cable for added detail.

The finished model measures approximately 257.3 mm (10.1 inches) long and 93.4 mm (3.7 inches) wide, giving you a substantial and highly detailed display model when completed.

If you're building a collection of Cold War armor, modern Chinese military vehicles, or simply want an unusual 1/35 armor subject, the Type 59 is a great addition to the workbench.
