Chinese Type 59D
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings.

Has the Chinese Type 59D been exported to any other countries, with or without the reactive armor? And if so is there a site where I might find photos of it? I just bought the so-so Trumpeter kit of this tank and I want to explore my options as far as paint schemes etc. Thanks, Mike Haines

PAKISTAN was a major buyer of the type and now produces it in the AL-ZARRAR heavily modernised variant which has also been exported to Bangladesh.

Some sources: -

www.ciar.org/ttk/mbt/0...halid.html

www.bdmilitary.com/mai...zarrar.htm

If you look around under Pakistan and the Type 59 you should find sufficient colour images from previous years plus heaps on the Al-Zarrar.

Watch out though a lot of the sites are run by 15 year old spotty wannabes, so some of the anti-everyone-not-Pakastani language leaves a lot to be desired!

Enjoy the searching....................

IF you want to look for limited Chinese info try Sino-Defence.com
