Bronco CB35063 PLA Paratrooper Soldiers on China's 60th National Day Parade 1/35 – 1:35 Scale Figure Model

The Bronco CB35063 PLA Paratrooper Soldiers set is a unique offering for enthusiasts of modern military history and collectors of dioramas depicting contemporary Chinese armed forces. In 1:35 scale, the model presents four Chinese PLA (People’s Liberation Army) paratroopers marching during the Grand Parade on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, which took place on October 1, 2009, in Beijing.

The set, produced by the renowned Bronco brand, is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring crisp details, easy handling, and excellent reproduction of uniform and equipment details. The figures faithfully depict modern-era soldiers wearing PLA digital camouflage and armaments typical of the contemporary Chinese army, including QBZ-95 assault rifles and standard paratrooper gear.

• Scale: 1/35
• Country of use: China (People's Republic of China)
• Period: Modern times (21st century, specifically the year 2009, but the uniforms and weaponry are still in use)
• Category: Plastic model kit (figures)

The 2009 parade was an event of enormous propaganda and political significance, showcasing the modernity and strength of the Chinese army. The standout participants in the parade were indeed the airborne troops—PLA’s elite forces.

I recommend the Bronco CB35063 set both to intermediate and advanced modelers due to the wealth of realistic detail rendered in the figures and the potential to expand your diorama with vehicles and other elements representing the modern Chinese army. It is an excellent choice not only for collectors of Asian military and equipment, but also for those building educational exhibits and lovers of modern military units.

I rate the assembly difficulty at 3 on a scale of 1-5—the model requires precision during assembly, especially to ensure proper fit of arms, heads, and small weapon parts, but it should pose no challenge to those with previous experience with plastic figures.

The set does not include glue or paints—we recommend using dedicated modeling products as well as acrylic or enamel paints for realistic results. The Bronco CB35063 PLA Paratrooper Soldiers model is a must-have for any enthusiast of contemporary armed forces!
