Scale Reproduction of the BTR-70 in 1/35

The Trumpeter 01593 kit recreates the Russian BTR-70 armoured personnel carrier in 1/35 scale, reflecting its service history and overall silhouette. This version emphasises surface detail and authentic proportions for display-oriented projects.

Over 500 pieces give builders a rewarding assembly sequence, with multi-part mouldings to capture intricate shapes. Hollow rubber tyres improve the scale look and two etched brass parts are supplied for sharper fine detail where needed.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 218.8mm
  • Width: 80.7mm
  • Total Parts: 500+
  • Photo-Etched Parts: 2 pieces
  • Sprues: 21 sprues, lower hull, upper hull, and tires
  • Main Tires: Hollow rubber with detailed tread pattern

Is this kit suitable for a first time modeller?

No, it is better suited to those with some kit experience. The part count and use of multi-part components require steady hands and familiarity with model assembly techniques.

Are the tyres scale accurate out of the box?

The kit includes hollow rubber tyres with moulded tread that present well on a finished model. Some modellers choose to add weathering to enhance realism further.

Do the photo-etched parts require special tools?

Photo-etched pieces benefit from fine tweezers and a sharp blade for removal. A small bending tool or flat pliers makes folding and fitting easier for crisp results.
