The Bronco CB35082 YW-531C Armored Personnel Carrier model in 1:35 scale is a precisely reproduced plastic assembly model of the Chinese YW-531C armored personnel carrier.

Historical Background of the YW-531C

The YW-531C is one of the variants of the well-known Chinese YW-531 armored personnel carrier series, developed in the early 1960s by Norinco for the People's Liberation Army of China. The carrier was extensively used by the Chinese army, and its export covered the Vietnam conflict as well as various countries in the Middle East and Africa. The vehicle debuted during the Cold War and is a distinctive example of Chinese engineering from that era. While the basic version of the vehicle entered service in the 1960s, different variants were still in use at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.
