Voyager Model PE35472 is a specialist upgrade set designed for the 1/35 scale BTR-60PU model, compatible with the TRUMPETER replica (catalog number 01576). The set is manufactured by the renowned Voyager Model company, known for its exceptionally precise and high-quality modeling accessories, especially photo-etched parts (the components are made from thin metal sheets).

The BTR-60PU is a modern Soviet/Russian command vehicle based on the popular BTR-60 armored personnel carrier (Bronetransporter). Since its debut in the late 1950s, the PU version (Punkt Upravleniya – command post) has become a key vehicle supporting combat units by providing communications and coordination during operations. The BTR-60PU was widely used by the Soviet Army and Warsaw Pact countries, and also exported to many countries in the Middle East and Africa. Although designed during the Cold War era, it is still used by numerous armed forces today, including in the latest post-Soviet regional conflicts. Period of use: Cold War to present day.
