Trumpeter 09599 2S25 Sprut-SD Amphibious Light Tank 1/35 – Plastic Model Kit

Trumpeter 09599 presents an extremely detailed 1/35 scale plastic model kit, faithfully replicating the 2S25 Sprut-SD light tank. This modern Russian amphibious vehicle is a unique platform designed for the Russian Federation's airborne forces. The model is based on the real vehicle used since the early 21st century, with prototypes debuting in the early 2000s and official service entry in 2005. The 2S25 Sprut-SD has been used in both Russian airborne training exercises and military operations, showcasing its crew air-drop capability and amphibious mobility.

The model falls under the category of plastic military vehicle scale models. Building it requires precision and skill working with photo-etched parts. The kit contains over 480 sophisticated parts, offering a highly realistic reproduction of components—from the hull and turret to hydropneumatic suspension details and modern weapon systems. Thanks to multi-part molding technology, the shape of the hull and turret is rendered with exceptional accuracy. A copper cable imitating towing ropes and 1 photo-etched part for enhanced detailing are included in the kit.
