Produced by the renowned Fujimi company, this model faithfully replicates one of the most advanced self-propelled artillery systems in the service of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF).

The Type 99 155mm is a self-propelled howitzer designed by the Japanese company Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Development began in the 1990s, and the vehicle officially entered service in 1999. Its construction was meant to replace earlier self-propelled artillery types and enhance the mobility and firepower of the JGSDF. The Type 99 has mainly been used in military exercises and training operations in the modern era.
