ICM 72531 1/72 BTR-152V Cold War APC Model

The ICM 72531 offers a compact interpretation of the BTR-152V, a utility armoured personnel carrier used by Soviet forces. Its straightforward lines and operational role make the original an interesting subject for scale modelling. This 1/72 kit reproduces the vehicle profile so hobbyists can assemble a neat display model.

Exterior Craftsmanship and Fit

The sprues provide the main hull elements, road wheels and service fittings with a focus on proportion and surface detail. Fine elements are preserved to let builders replicate rivet patterns and plate joins. Good preparation and careful gluing will yield a convincing finished model.

Recommended Approach to Building

Targeted at modellers who have tackled basic kits, the build requires patience with small parts and accurate painting. Pre-paint some subassemblies and use masking where needed to keep paint lines clean for a polished display result.
