Eduard 36186 BTR-60P APC 1/35 Trumpeter – Photo-Etched Parts for Armoured Personnel Carrier Model

Eduard 36186 BTR-60P APC 1/35 is an exceptional accessory set designed for demanding modelers who wish to enhance their BTR-60P Armoured Personnel Carrier model in 1:35 scale, manufactured by Trumpeter. This product belongs to the category of photo-etched parts meant for plastic scale models.

The BTR-60P is the first variant of the Soviet wheeled Armoured Personnel Carrier from the BTR-60 family, used by the Soviet Army and numerous Eastern Bloc militaries since the late 1950s. It was officially adopted for service in 1960 and saw widespread use during the Cold War era. This vehicle participated, among other actions, in Soviet military interventions in Eastern Europe and was exported to many USSR allied countries. Its distinguishing feature over later, better-armored versions of the BTR-60 family was the open upper troop compartment.

The Eduard 36186 set is made from the highest quality metal—thin brass sheets subjected to a precise photo-etching process, resulting in extremely detailed parts. The package contains a comprehensive set of components such as grills, handles, mounts, deck equipment details, and troop compartment elements, which significantly boost the realism of your vehicle. This enables a considerable upgrade in the detail level of the base model: improved reproduction of grilles, handles, locks, hinges, or small BTR-60P equipment parts.

This set is recommended for advanced plastic modelers wanting to achieve a professional finish on their model—the assembly difficulty is rated as 4 on a 1-5 scale. Basic skills are required for handling photo-etched metal sheets, using cyanoacrylate adhesives, and working with fine modeling tools.
