Zvezda 3556 BTR-70 Russian Armored Personal Carrier (1/35)

Zvezda 3556 BTR-70 Russian Armored Personal Carrier is a high-quality 1/35 scale plastic model kit, capturing with exceptional precision the details of the legendary Soviet armored personnel carrier BTR-70. This model has been created by the renowned Zvezda brand, famous for its outstanding attention to historical military vehicles' details, making this set unique both for collectors and military modeling enthusiasts.

The original BTR-70 was developed for the Soviet Army in the late 1970s and entered service in 1972, replacing the earlier BTR-60 model. The carrier was used not only by the USSR but also by many Warsaw Pact countries and export nations, seeing its first combat action during the intervention in Afghanistan (1979–1989). It features an eight-wheeled chassis (8x8), a characteristic drivetrain layout, and great versatility in challenging terrain and climate conditions, and its construction is based on two GA3-49 gasoline engines. The vehicle can transport up to 8 infantry soldiers and was widely used in both Cold War-era armed conflicts and, in new versions, up to the present day—even in current peacekeeping and military operations around the world.

The Zvezda 3556 plastic model offers:

• Accurately recreated shape and construction details of the vehicle, including realistic weapon and equipment elements.
• Carefully segmented sprues to facilitate assembly and to reproduce key features such as the turret with machine gun, running gear, and the hull interior.
• The possibility to personalize by using your own markings and paint schemes—paint and glue are not included, allowing for individual color choices and painting techniques.
• The model is made from high-quality plastic, providing durability and making the components easy to assemble and process.

Zvezda 3556 BTR-70 is dedicated to experienced modelers as well as those wishing to improve their skills—the difficulty level is rated at 3/5. We recommend this product to military enthusiasts, 20th-century history fans, and collectors of Soviet and post-Soviet vehicles. This plastic model kit allows you to create a unique miniature of a vehicle that played an important role in the history of modern armed forces.
