Tamiya 1:35 JGSDF Type 16 MCV C5 with Winch Plastic Model Kit

Build one of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's most advanced armored vehicles with the Tamiya 1:35 JGSDF Type 16 MCV C5 with Winch Plastic Model Kit. This highly detailed kit recreates the Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle (MCV) C5, incorporating upgrades introduced on later production vehicles, including the turret-mounted air conditioning unit, cleaning rod case, revised turret details, and the option to install a vehicle recovery winch. The real Type 16 combines exceptional road mobility with a powerful 105mm rifled gun, enabling rapid deployment in support of Japan's mobile defense forces.

Tamiya faithfully captures the distinctive eight-wheeled vehicle with crisp molding, realistic suspension, detailed turret, and steerable front wheels. Builders can choose to assemble the model with or without the winch, and the kit includes photo-etched parts for the turret basket guards, masking stickers for the clear parts, and three crew figures. The included string accurately represents the winch cable running from the rear to the front of the vehicle.

Whether you're building a modern military collection or a contemporary JGSDF diorama, the Type 16 C5 with Winch is an outstanding addition to any 1:35 scale armor lineup.
