Chinese Type 59/69 Medium Tank (2-in-1) (Limited Edition) 1/35 Takom Models

With the help of the Soviets in the middle of the 1950’s, a tank production plant was constructed near Beijing, with another sometime later in the industrial region of Shanxi. Tank production began in 1957 and Type 59 was the designation of this AFV in PRC service. The Type 69 was an upgrade made directly from the Type 59. Later improvements to the Type 59 included the installation of a laser rangefinder above the main gun, and rubber side skirts.

Please see the paint guide below for the manufacturer’s recommended colors. Takom recommends Ammo of Mig Jimenez paint for this kit, and you can find them all by clicking each color below.
