The Trumpeter 1/35 PT-76 kit reproduces the Soviet light amphibious tank, offering modellers a compact but detailed subject. The model highlights the craft of building vehicles designed to operate on both water and land.
The PT-76 carried a 76mm main gun and was optimized for river crossings and coastal operations, sacrificing heavy armour for buoyancy and mobility. These characteristics are conveyed in the model's proportions and details.
This set comprises 176 plastic parts plus two photo-etched frets, providing fine surface detail. Expect to join lower and upper hull components, install the tracks and fit numerous small parts; careful cleanup and dry-fitting improve the result. Final dimensions are 224mm by 90mm by 67.7mm.
When completed, the PT-76 makes a compact but authentic display piece, especially with other Soviet vehicles. The supplied green camouflage decals support an accurate Russian army finish.
