Product Brief: Trumpeter PT-76 1/35 Model 00379

This is a 1/35-scale plastic model kit depicting the Soviet PT-76 amphibious light tank, supplied as a tracked scale subject for hobby assembly and display.

The PT-76 entered service in the late 1940s as a light amphibious reconnaissance and infantry-support vehicle. Its welded hull and water propulsion enabled river crossings and lake operations, prioritising amphibious mobility. The turret mounted a 76mm main gun and the vehicle carried a three-person crew; it served in Warsaw Pact forces and several export users through the Cold War.

The kit forms a compact representation of the hull, turret and running gear used across PT-76 variants. Vinyl tracks are included to maintain a clean lower hull profile without individual link work. A single photo-etched fret adds finer external detail. Parts and sprue layout are arranged for standard glue-and-paint assembly common to 1/35 armour kits.

Measured model dimensions and box specifications come from the manufacturer. Builders should plan standard 1/35 painting and finishing steps; decals are not listed among the contents. Use reference images for accurate weathering and insignia work on the finished model.

A compact 1/35 representation of the PT-76 that provides a moderate parts count and basic etched detail, suitable for builders focusing on tracked amphibious subjects and cold war displays.

Layered washes and pigment powders replicate riverine grime and paint fading; focus on hull lower areas and around hatches to convey amphibious use.
The included photo-etched fret improves surface fittings, but modellers may add small aftermarket items or scratch-built details for higher realism.
With 176 plastic parts spread across six sprues, the kit offers a moderate build time that balances detail with manageable complexity.
Yes, aftermarket decal sheets and 1/35-scale figures can be combined to enhance markings and diorama presentation; decals are not included in the kit contents.
