Bandai 1/35 Sand Land Tank 104
This mechanical model embodies the technological pinnacle of the famous armoured assault tank deployed to traverse the desert expanses of Akira Toriyama’s universe. Every part of the internal structure reproduces the original mechanical design whilst featuring a level of detail unprecedented for this compact scale. The subtle shades of the coloured plastics create a striking visual contrast that brings the vehicle to life as soon as assembly is complete, without requiring any touch-up painting.
This version’s exclusive action system features advanced opening hatches that allow you to view the cockpit’s interior layout with remarkable fluidity. The riveted armour plates, movable tracks and rotating turret move in synchronisation when handled, preserving the armoured vehicle’s industrial and retro lines even in its most dynamic display configurations. This centrepiece stands as the indispensable heart of any display dedicated to the mechanical masterpieces of Japanese animation.
