Overview

The BTR-70 is a Soviet eight-wheeled amphibious armoured personnel carrier that entered service in the early 1970s. Developed as a successor to the widespread BTR-60, it featured a number of improvements, including thicker armour, better tyres, and more powerful gasoline engines. Armed with a heavy machine gun in a roof-mounted turret, the BTR-70 became a ubiquitous vehicle in the armies of the Warsaw Pact and was widely exported worldwide.

This 1/72 scale kit from Trumpeter is a great replica of an early production BTR-70. Consisting of over 70 parts, it offers a good level of detail while remaining a straightforward and accessible project, perfect for beginners or a quick build. The kit accurately captures the distinctive low-slung, eight-wheeled hull of the real vehicle and includes a crisply detailed machine gun turret.
