PT-76 Soviet Amphibious Tank 1/35 Kit — Trumpeter 00379  [TP00379]

PT-76 1/35 Trumpeter 00379 Detailed Kit Description

This 1:35 plastic kit represents the Soviet PT-76 amphibious light tank and is offered as a tracked military subject for display modelling.

Introduced in the late 1940s, the PT-76 served as a light amphibious reconnaissance and infantry-support vehicle for Soviet forces. Its welded hull and dedicated water propulsion allowed river and inland water operations, with a 76mm main gun and a three-person crew. The design saw widespread use in Warsaw Pact inventories and among several export customers during the Cold War era.

The kit models the hull, turret and running gear typical of PT-76 variants. Vinyl tracks are provided to preserve the lower hull shape without individual link assembly. A single photo-etched fret supplies refined external fittings. The sprue layout and parts count align with traditional glue-and-paint workflows common to 1/35 armour kits.

Model dimensions and box measurements reflect manufacturer specifications. Builders should prepare suitable 1/35 paints and finishing tools; decals are not listed as included. Photographic references are recommended when applying weathering and unit markings.

A compact PT-76 kit in 1/35 with moderate complexity and basic etched detailing, ideal for modellers interested in amphibious Cold War armoured vehicles.
