The first prototypes of the vehicle were created at the end of the 1980s, and serial production started in the period 1990-2009 and resulted in the creation of 341 tanks of this type. The Type 90 is powered by a 1500hp Mitsubishi 10 ZG engine. The vehicle is armed with a single 120mm Rheinmetall L44 tank gun, 1 7.62mm Type 74 machine gun and 1 12.7mm M2HB machine gun.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn the 1980s, the command of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces decided to develop a completely new Main Battle Tank to replace the Type 61 and Type 74 vehicles. It was also decided to adopt as many modern technologies as possible, which increased the cost of developing a new tank. Undoubtedly, when it was introduced to the line, the Type 90 tank was a very advanced structure, distinguished especially by its well-developed composite armor and high rate of fire. The latter was achieved through the development by Japanese companies of an automatic loading device for the Rheinmetall L44 120 mm gun, which is a unique solution and allowed to reduce the crew of the Type 90 to three people. The Type 90 is not currently exported.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - This 1\/35 scale plastic assembly model kit\u003cbr\u003e - The model kit allows you to realistically reproduce the tank crew loading the tank with projectiles\u003cbr\u003e - The model accurately reproduces the linear style of the Type 90 tank\u003cbr\u003e - Features of the tank including its automatic loading device, have been faithfully reproduced in rich detail\u003cbr\u003e - Furthermore, a tank commander and another four tank crew figures in various poses are included (total 5)\u003cbr\u003e - Four kinds of decals, accessories including wooden boxes for the two kinds of 120mm smoothbore projectiles are included for added realism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Customize your kit and take your creation to another level with our selection of \u003cb\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyco.com.au\/tools-paints\/paint-sets\/\"\u003epaint sets\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41260238405788,"sku":"T35260","price":61.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/products\/T35260.jpg?v=1644460218","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyco.com.au\/products\/1-35-jgsdf-type-90-tank-w-ammo-loading-crew-set","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
