Since there's life in the old dog yet, the M1025 Hummer is still available, but Tamiya released the well proven chassis with a new body. This time it is the contemporary JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle. Since the Chassis has been left nearly untouched, it ist only the body that is new. For the JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle Tamiya decided to feature a polycarbonate shell that has been prepainted. The only modification to the chassis is, in accordance to the XB Hummvee, the rear differential, that is no longer a ball differential but a bevel gear differential.
