The Takom brand is known for its extremely detailed kits, and this model is a perfect example of a modern approach to modeling armored combat vehicles.

Historical background and usage

The ltPsv 90 Marksman SPAAG is a Finnish modernization of the renowned British Marksman anti-aircraft system, mounted on a T-55 tank chassis. It was developed by Vammas for the Finnish armed forces in the 1990s. The chassis was taken from the Soviet T-55 tank, while the Marksman turret was equipped with two 35 mm Oerlikon cannons and an advanced radar.

This vehicle participated in military exercises and was a significant component of Finland's air defense during the Cold War and throughout the 1990s. Thanks to the combination of the reliable T-55 chassis and the modern Marksman turret, the ltPsv 90 could effectively repel air attacks, protecting key units from threats posed by enemy aircraft and helicopters.
