The Chinese Type 59-2 medium tank is a thoroughly modernized version of the legendary Type 59. Developed on the basis of the Soviet T-54 and produced since the 1980s, the Type 59-2 has been the backbone of Chinese armored forces for decades—from the Cold War era to modern times. This vehicle participated in, among others, conflicts in the Middle East, was exported to many countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and also served as a base for further upgrades.

In this Hobby Boss set, you will find an impressive level of detail—a multi-part lower hull, separate track links, a precisely recreated turret, and crisply molded surface details. The kit also includes photo-etched metal parts for finishing the smallest details, as well as a copper cable for a realistic tow rope.

The kit allows you to build a richly detailed armored vehicle that is sure to stand out on any diorama or collector's shelf.

Due to the large number of parts and the required experience, we recommend this model to those who are familiar with working with plastic kits and photo-etched elements.
