Little Armory LA020 Howa Type 89 Assault Rifle 1/12
Description
A 5.56mm caliber domestic automatic rifle adopted by the Self-Defense Forces in 1989. As the main rifle at the time, it was a short carbine size, and was designed to fit the physique of the Japanese people. It has high braking performance and good bullet collection performance due to the muzzle suppression function of the flame suppressor. The two legs are removable and can share the NATO standard STANAG magazine.
The bayonet that was adopted at the same time was a versatile type that had a saw blade for metal cutting and a wire cutting function in addition to piercing.
With an emphasis on reproducing the details, the parts are recreated with the real firearm in mind, and it is possible to build multiple configurations, including without optics or during field stripping.
The model comes packed on runners and molded in black, but you can also make it look more realistic by painting to your preference.
Plastic nippers are recommended to cleanly remove accessories from their runners. Glue (sold separately) is required for assembly.
