Description
This is an injection plastic and metal radio or remote-controlled military vehicle model kit.
The photo is the 1/35 scale kit.
From the manufacturer:
This is a 1/16 scale R/C model assembly kit of the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF) Type 10 tank. Full cooperation from the JGSDF led to this highly accurate scale recreation of the compact Type 10 with 120mm smoothbore gun. Take control of the Type 10's smooth and powerful forward/reverse movement, a range of turns and pivots, turret rotation and gun elevation. The gun and hull recoil have also been recreated. Authentic engine and firing sounds were recorded from the full-size tank and are coordinated with model actions. The main gun and machine gun flash when fired. The gun barrel control system factors in model movement and elevation changes to keep the main gun automatically trained in a set direction. Dedicated gun barrel servo also controls movement after firing, and corrects elevation to prevent contact with turret rear when rotating at low elevation.
Includes aluminum gun barrel, pre-assembled tracks, and realistic suspension system with die-cast sprockets. Figures not included.
Model measurements: length: 596mm, width: 207mm

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 4:
Advanced Skills Required
Kits that we have rated as skill level 4 require all the same modeling techniques and tools as skill level 3. However, these kits tend to include more and smaller parts, the use of multiple materials (resin, white metal, photo-etched, etc.) to complete the kit, and the need to perform some modifications to the parts before they can be used, such as changing their size, opening holes, etc. To properly complete a level 4 kit, you will want to have all of the skill level 3 tools. In addition, a pin-vise (hand-powered drill) and plastic saw will assist in modification of parts when necessary.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children at all. Children under 14, even if experienced, are likely to have difficulty with a kit like this if they attempt it alone. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit are advised to avoid kits of skill level 4 or 5 until they have gained modeling experience working with something less challenging. Examples of kits in skill level 4 would be injection-plastic kits of cars or aircraft that include resin or white metal modification parts, or kits that call for you to cut or otherwise modify existing parts in some way. Many resin figure kits with many parts would also fall into this class.
No Cement Required
This item does not require the use of cement to complete. Some modelers prefer to use cement on snap-together kits in order to fix them into a particular pose, or make a joint more secure. However, this is not required to complete these kits.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.
While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
