Accurate 1/35 PLA ZBD-868 Representation

The Trumpeter 05558 - 1/35 PLA ZBD-868 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) kit reproduces the upgraded ZBD 86B layout with a 30mm turret and HJ-73 missile launcher. The kit is laid out to give modellers realistic surface detail and structure for a convincing finish.

Construction Details and Lineage

Based on the BMP-1 design, the ZBD-868 became an important step in PLA IFV development by improving armament and fire control. This kit mirrors those changes and comes with over 470 parts, a single photo-etched fret and 180 separate track links that enhance realism. Multi-slide moulded lower and upper hulls help achieve accurate panel lines and easier alignment during assembly.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 191mm
  • Width: 85mm
  • Total Parts: 470+
  • Photo Etched Parts: 1 piece
  • Includes 180 individual track links
  • Multi-slide molded lower and upper hulls
Yes, remove any mould lines and flash with a fine file or sandpaper for the best fit, especially around multi-slide hull joints and track link pin holes.
Chipping, light oil washes and dust effects work well to convey operational wear. Thin layers and gradual build up keep finishes realistic on the 1/35 scale surfaces.
The turret is composed of multiple parts to capture the 30mm mounting and launcher details, allowing neat subassembly and painting before final fit.
