1:72 Scale Metal Diecast ? BTR-70 Russian - Soviet Armored Personnel Carrier APC - Length: 4.25", Width: 1.75? This model has a main body made of metal. The wheels are static, they don't roll. The coloring and markings are accurate and realistic. The maker of the model, Eaglemoss, really did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very clear and crisp. These models have different details engraved such as doors, hatches, panels, lights, ports, antennas, machine guns, ropes, shovels, etc; all of these done with high accuracy and proportion. When they are painted in different color, say for example, shovels and ropes, they are indeed painted accurately. This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and up. The BTR-70 is an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier (Russian: ????????????????, ???, romanized: bronetransportyor, lit.?'armored carrier') originally developed by the Soviet Union during the late 1960s under the manufacturing code GAZ-4905. On August 21, 1972, it was accepted into Soviet service and would later be widely exported. Large quantities were also produced under license in Romania as the TAB-77.
