Trumpeter 1/72 Russian BTR-70 APC (Late Version) Armoured Personnel Carrier Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The BTR-70 is a Soviet eight-wheeled amphibious armoured personnel carrier that entered service in the early 1970s as a successor to the BTR-60. Later production versions of the BTR-70 incorporated several improvements over the initial design to enhance reliability and combat effectiveness. Armed with a heavy machine gun in a roof-mounted turret, the BTR-70 was a ubiquitous vehicle in the armies of the Warsaw Pact and was widely exported.

This 1/72 scale kit from Trumpeter is a great replica of a late production BTR-70 APC. Consisting of over 80 parts, it offers a good level of detail while remaining a straightforward and accessible project, perfect for beginners or for 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 representing the later configuration.
