Detailed 1/35 BTR-70 Armoured Personnel Carrier

The Trumpeter 01593 model kit reproduces the Russian BTR-70 APC as seen in Afghanistan, delivering a faithful 1/35 scale representation of this late 1970s design. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who want an accurate display model with authentic surface detail.

With more than 500 parts the build is engaging and precise, using multi-slide moulded components to capture complex shapes. Hollow rubber tires with realistic tread are included, and two photo-etched pieces provide extra fine detail for modellers who like to add finesse to their finishes.

  • 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

How hard is the Trumpeter 01593 kit to build?

This kit suits intermediate to advanced modellers because of its high part count and detailed assemblies. Expect careful trimming and precise joins rather than a quick snap-fit build.

Do I need to provide paint and decals?

Yes, painting and decals are required to complete an authentic finish. The kit does not include paint or waterslide decals, so plan colours and marking placement before starting.

What tools and adhesives are recommended?

Standard plastic cement works well for major assemblies; CA glue is handy for small parts and photo-etched pieces. A fine hobby knife, sanding sticks and small files will help achieve clean joins.
