1/72 BTR-152S, Armoured Command Vehicle
ICM 1/72 BTR-152S is a plastic kit of the Soviet armoured command vehicle. The kit contains 64 parts and decals for a Soviet Army vehicle of the 1960s. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The BTR-152 was the first Soviet armoured personnel carrier, designed between 1946 and 1950. The standard BTR-152V version was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1958 and served as the basis for a wide range of special vehicles – ambulances, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and mobile command and staff posts such as the BTR-152S. Vehicles of this family served with Warsaw Pact armies and Soviet-aligned countries and saw action in the Arab-Israeli wars, in Angola and in Vietnam.
According to the manufacturer, the ICM kit in 1/72 scale consists of 64 parts and the finished model measures approximately 95 × 41 mm. The decals depict a Soviet Army vehicle of the 1960s. The command version adds a less common type to a collection of post-war Soviet vehicles and also works well as the centrepiece of a small field headquarters diorama.
The compact 1/72 scale allows complete lines of wheeled vehicles to be built in little space, so the BTR-152S sits naturally alongside the BTR-152V carrier and ZiL trucks. Moderate weathering emphasises the shape of the armoured hull and running gear. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: Soviet Union. Period: Cold War.
