In the box there are 6 frames with the elements of the tank, 2 frames with parts of the figurines, metal elements valorizing, photo etched to the exhaust cover, rubber tracks and decals (allow reconstruction of the vehicle from the armored school in Shizouka, 1, 6, 7, 8, 13 The Tank Regiment or the 14th Infantry Division.
