The ICM 72521 BTR-152K plastic model kit is a precise miniature of a Soviet armored personnel carrier in the popular 1/72 scale. This model set is produced by the renowned company ICM, known for its high-quality detail reproduction and historical accuracy. The model is intended for self-assembly and requires the use of glue and model paints (these products are not included in the set).

The BTR-152K is a variant of the Soviet armored personnel carrier designed in the postwar period, widely used by the USSR army and satellite states. The K model was distinguished by a fully armored superstructure, built-in filtration and ventilation system, and the ability to carry up to 18 soldiers. The BTR-152 was used from the late 1940s until the 1970s, covering the Cold War period. These vehicles played a significant role during the Soviet intervention in Hungary in 1956, in Czechoslovakia in 1968, as well as in Middle Eastern conflicts, where the vehicle was operated by Egypt, Syria, and Iraq, among others.
