Ground Self-Defense Force active from TOMICA in Iraq puts the light armored vehicle on the market.

The light armored vehicle has been disposed by a kind of the movement vehicle where the Ground Self-Defense Force is usually disposed to the department ("Infantryman" department) since 2002. It is often called military and wording it as LAV (abbreviation of Vehicule Blinde Leger). 100 or more is disposed in the vehicle developed by Technical Research and Development Institute and Komatsu Ltd. of the Defense Agency every year, and small number of people are being handled by the Air Self-Defense Force for the base guard. The feature is armored with the inclination to do Totama to reduce the damage of the enemy bullet overall. By the way, the definition of "Light armored vehicle" is a meaning "Armor that can endure the rifle shot", and it is difficult to drive back the machine gun bullet. It has the shade of meaning of extent in which the splinter when rifling and exploding is prevented to the last.

The vehicle's having risen to the topic now is used in large quantities in the Iraq dispatch force of the Ground Self-Defense Force, and because it is not and was projected the appearance onto the television, : with degrees how many. In the appearance that had been projected with the Ground Self-Defense Force member who worked hard at ground in Iraq greatly left from Japan, there might have been a lot of people who had felt stoutness, bravery, and proud.

Moreover, Orebdorab of the case of Ground Self-Defense Force (thick tea green) that dares to be basic is left as it is, and there is an anecdote to emphasize "Humanitarian and reconstruction assistance activity force" though the treatment such as making the color Snairo to make easily not to be found is taken in the hostility power when the vehicle usually develops with the desert area like Iraq.

The vehicle has already been put the one of 1/35 scales on the market from the Tamiya model and is popular now. It is a good feeling that "Light armored vehicle" put on the market from TOMICA this time expresses that "Rugged atmosphere (boorishness)" in the round though follows the basis of simple forming TOMICA. In addition, it is possible to do of open in similar thing front door, and make it cry around in reproduction of internal structure.

Various "Vehicle for the business" is done in TOMICA besides the private car and the lineup is done. There is no difference in "Car that works" as for saying that the vehicle of Ground Self-Defense Force is business ..... Wanting the expectation of me of the appearance also of other vehicles in the future as the series (Though the tank might be indeed difficult).
