Tamiya 1:35 Toyota AB Phaeton

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of Japanese military car in 1:35 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows building the Toyota Phaeton AB model of a Japanese car from the pre-World War II era with the driver. Cars of this type appeared in the mid 30s and had to motorize Japan. Most of them went to the Imperial Army. The car can be glued together with a folded or folded roof.

In the box, there is a body part, 2 frames with plastic parts of the car, a frame with transparent elements (glass, headlights) and decals.

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing.
