1/72 Trumpeter Russian BTR-70 APC Early Version - 07137

The BTR-70 is an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier, originally developed during the late 1960s under the industrial designator GAZ-4905. On August 21, 1972, it was accepted into service and would later be exported to the Warsaw Pact and other allies. Introduced as a successor to the earlier BTR-60, it most closely resembles a BTR-60PB. Other improvements include heavier armor plating and tires less prone to puncture. In other respects, the vehicle is very similar to the BTR-60PB, with a more powerful petrol engine configuration and the armament of a primary heavy machine gun and a secondary PKT machine gun on a roof-mounted turret.
