Historical Background and Use

The Type 87 Shiki Jidō Hōkō Shagekikan (Type 87 Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun) is a modern tracked self-propelled anti-aircraft system developed and produced in Japan for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF). Introduced in 1987, it was continuously used during the Cold War and remains active to this day. The Type 87 features a turret with twin Oerlikon KDA 35 mm automatic cannons, as well as an advanced radar and electro-optical system, enabling effective engagement of low-flying aerial targets. These vehicles have been used during defense exercises and as a permanent component providing protection for key military infrastructure within Japanese territory.

The clear illustrative instructions make assembly easier even for less experienced modelers, and the two model kits allow you to build both the original version of the vehicle and variants from different service periods or with individual markings.
