At 24mm long and just 5.5 grams, this brass Type 59 tank fits on a fingertip — yet every key detail is there. Turret, cannon, tracks. Rendered at micro scale with the kind of precision that makes you look twice.
The Type 59 is China’s iconic Cold War-era medium tank, derived from the Soviet T-54 and fielded for decades across Asia. For diorama builders recreating Cold War or Asian theatre scenes, it’s a natural fit — accurate in silhouette, solid in brass, and easy to position or paint over.
Works equally well as a standalone desk piece: set it on a shelf edge, a moss-covered stone, or alongside other miniature armour. Small enough to disappear into a scene. Detailed enough to anchor one.
For scale model collectors, military diorama builders, or paint-your-own hobbyists — this is a satisfying piece at any level of involvement.

Caring for Your Brass
Brass develops a natural patina over time — a sign of age and character, not damage. To keep the original shine, wipe occasionally with a soft dry cloth. For a deeper clean, a small amount of brass polish or a paste of lemon juice and baking soda works well. Avoid prolonged moisture or harsh chemicals. The more it’s handled, the warmer its glow becomes.
A small amount of blu-tack or double-sided tape can help it sit perfectly on your shelf.
Each piece is individually cast, so minor variations may occur.
