[Basic Features and Specifications]
1/72 scale
- Two high-mobility vehicles can be manufactured.
• Finished size is approximately 70 x 35 x 34 mm
- Three different configurations can be reproduced, including with or without the soft top and with or without the windshield.
- There are three configurations: standard configuration with canvas cover, configuration without canvas cover, and air transport configuration.
The model is based on a recently procured type of high-mobility vehicle equipped with a three-point harness, mudguard securing rings, and locks.
- The parts are molded in two colors.
The main body and other parts are molded in gray.
- Transparent material is used for the soft top and lighting parts.
- The floor, sides, rear, and hood are all separate parts.
- The body floor reproduces the plain shape difference from that of a heavy mortar towing vehicle.
The front panel features intricately sculpted details, such as meters and switches, to represent their shapes.
- The interior seats, both front and rear, are made into separate parts, improving shape reproduction accuracy.
- The shape of the front seat backrest is accurately reproduced, and the shape of the current specification with a 3-point seat belt has been changed.
- The exhaust pipe has a different paint color from the rest of the model, so it is a separate part, designed with ease of assembly in mind.
- The tires and wheels are made of a single plastic part (this product includes tires and wheels with even greater precision).
- The tires are parts that represent the shape deformed by their own weight.
- The molded color of the headlights and taillights is clear.
The door is a single-piece structure with the glass and door body integrated into one piece, and the molded color is clear.
- The canvas has a four-part structure, with the window section and soft top integrated into one piece.
- The canvas hood features realistic wrinkles recreated in three dimensions through sculpting.
• A wide variety of selectable parts
- The windshield can be reproduced/assembled in both its normal state and the state where it is tilted forward for aerial transport.
- The currently used wide-area multi-purpose radio is available as a separate component and can be loaded inside the vehicle.
- Antennas can be attached to the front and rear antenna masts.
- The rear entry/exit step comes in two configurations: retracted and extended, allowing you to choose the configuration.
[This special edition product includes the following additional parts:]
- Plastic wheels and rubber tires, enough for two cars.
- Tires/wheels are now separate parts, eliminating the need for masking during the painting process.
- The wheel shape is precisely reproduced, just like the regular version.
The wheel parts are designed with interlocking ribs to prevent slippage when combined with rubber tires.
The tires are specially made with a meticulously reproduced pattern, resulting in a more precise representation than the standard version.
- This part is made of rubber, giving it a realistic appearance.
- The tire pattern is a summer tire commonly seen in all units from Hokkaido to Kyushu.
