1/72 BTR-60PB, Armoured Personnel Carrier
ICM 1/72 BTR-60PB is a plastic kit of the eight-wheeled Soviet armoured personnel carrier. It has 118 parts and decals for a Soviet Guards unit and the East German army. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The BTR-60PB was created by the design bureau of the Gorky Automobile Plant, and the BTR-60 family was the first Soviet combat vehicle with eight driven wheels. The first production version, the BTR-60P built in 1960–1963, had no roof. The most widespread variant became the BTR-60PB, produced from 1966 to 1976 and fitted with a turret mounting a KPVT heavy machine gun. The vehicles served with the Soviet Army and the East German army and were exported in large numbers to the Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia.
The ICM model in 1/72 scale comprises 118 parts and the finished carrier is approximately 101 mm long. The decals cover two 1970s versions – a vehicle of Soviet Army Guards units and a carrier of the GDR army.
The long eight-wheeled silhouette with its small turret is typical of Soviet Cold War equipment, and in 1/72 it fits into any display cabinet or a small diorama with Soviet or East German infantry. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: Soviet Union, Germany. Period: Cold War.
