1/35 Soviet MT-LB

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the manufacturer:

In the 1970s the Soviets began a development program to replace the AT-P series of artillery tractors (which were based on the ASU-57 airborne self-propelled gun) with a new generation of vehicles. The MT-L was developed to meet this requirement based on the PT-76 amphibious light tank chassis. The MT-LB is the armored variant of the MT-L. Entering production in the early 1970s, it was cheap to build, being based on many existing components like the engine which was originally developed as a truck engine. It was built at the Kharkov tractor plant and under license in Poland and Bulgaria.

All parts come molded in grey plastic with some clears for the lights and portholes. Tracks are individual link molded in brown plastic. Photo-etched metal detail parts and decals are also included. Measures 181mm long and 82mm wide when completed.
