Meng 1/35 PLA ZTQ15 Light Tank w/Addon Armour Plastic Model Kit

SKU: MM-TS-050 | Brand: Meng | Product: Meng 1/35 PLA ZTQ15 Light Tank w/Addon Armour Plastic Model Kit China developed the ZTQ15 light tank with a combat weight of 33 to 36 tons. Limited operational environments for 50-ton main battle tanks in China necessitated the ZTQ15's development, as the aging Type 62 light tank became insufficient for southern water-town regions and high-altitude plateau and mountainous terrain like Tibet. The tank's primary roles encompass infantry support and reconnaissance operations. Armament consists of a 105mm rifled cannon—an improved variant of the 105mm 81 rifle gun from Type 59-II tanks, based on licensed Royal Ordnance L7 production. Secondary armament includes an unmanned remote weapon station equipped with 12.7mm heavy machine gun, automatic grenade launcher, and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. The three-person crew (commander, gunner, driver) operates within a tank featuring NBC defense systems, air conditioning, and oxygen cylinders for high-altitude deployment. Propulsion derives from a 1,000-horsepower engine. ---
