Moving ahead in both time and scale, we next feature the 1:35 scale Tamiya Masterwork JGSDF Type 90 Tank from the Tamiya itself for $75.00.



One of the most powerful modern day tanks, the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF) Type 90 makes its way to the Masterwork Collection. Joining the M1A2 Abrams and Leopard 2 A6, the Type 90 is an indispensable addition to any modern tank collection.

About the JGSDF Type 90:

The third main tank for the JGSDF, the Type 90 entered service in August 1990. Packed with the latest hi-tech equipment, including 120mm smooth-bore main gun, laser range finder, gun stabilizer, infrared night viewer, automatic cannon loading system and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, the Type 90 is considered one of the most highly sophisticated modern day tanks in the world. Powered by a Mitsubishi V10 cylinder 1,500hp diesel engine and weighing in at just 50 tons, the Type 90 has a good power-to-weight ratio, reaching a top speed of 70km/h. A sophisticated hydraulic suspension system also ensures excellent maneuverability no matter the terrain.

Going back a couple centuries, we next bring you the Del Prado 1:32 scale 1812 French Carabinier from Military Issue for $12.95.


Wearing the crisp white uniform of a cavalry trooper from Napoleon's 1812 La Grand Armée, this 1/32 scale, metal figure of a French Carabinier standing at ease is historically accurate from the brass-tone overlay on his cuirass (breast and back plates) to the distinctive red chenille on his helmet. Painted by hand, it measures approximately 2¼" tall and arrives ready to display.

Find him awaiting his mount here:



Lifting off in the Soviet winter is the 1:72 scale Gemini Aces Russia Front Luftwaffe Bf 109F-4, Yellow 5 (Limited To 2000 Units) from Pete's for $19.95.


See if Schultz and Klink have reported for duty yet here:



The jet age brings us the Corgi 1:72 scale Buccaneer S. Mk.2B. RAF 208 sqn. - "Exercise Red Flag 77", Nellis AFB, Nevada 1977 from 3000Toys for $32.95.
