Have you ever wanted to drive a tank? Well, now's your chance wit the New Tokyo Marui Type 90 remote-controlled tank.
The Type 90 is the current main battle tank of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. It was designed as a replacement for all deployed Type 61's and some of the Type 74 tanks. Manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the development of the Type 90 was initiated in 1977, and eventually accepted for service in 1990. Despite being smaller than all of the Western main battle tanks, the Type 90 actually bears an uncannyresemblance to the German Leopard 2. It even comes equipped with the same Rheinmetall 120mm tank gun a the Germon Leopard. Powered by a two-stroke, 10 Cylinder Diesel Engine, which pumps out approximately 1500 horsepower - at 50 gross tons, the power-to-weight ratio is 30hp/tonne, allowing it to accelerate from nought to 200 metres in roughly 20 seconds.
