The PT-76 served as a light amphibious platform armed with a 76mm gun and operated by a three-man crew, designed for riverine and reconnaissance roles. Its lightweight protection was offset by the ability to traverse water, a key tactical advantage in many Cold War operations.
Trumpeter's 1/35 model kit provides parts that reflect the PT-76s unique hull and turret form, giving builders an authentic assembly experience. Painting and weathering bring out the vehicle's service characteristics and on-the-ground purpose.
When complete, this model pairs well with other Cold War vehicles in a collection, illustrating amphibious tactics and light armour deployment from the period.
