1/72 PLA ZBL-09 IFV

The Dragon HC-D7682 1/72 PLA ZBL-09 IFV kit recreates the Chinese Type 09 “Snow Leopard” 8x8 infantry fighting vehicle with crisp, slide-moulded detail. Opening turret hatches and a working rear door add realism, while the optional gun sleeve lets you set the 30mm cannon at a chosen elevation. Fine touches include detailed smoke grenade launchers, an authentic HJ-73 anti-tank missile mount and wheels with realistic tyre tread.

The real ZBL-09 entered PLA service around 2009 and is designed for speed and mobility. This amphibious IFV carries a crew of three plus seven passengers, can reach up to 100km/h on road and 8km/h in water, and mounts a two-man turret with a 30mm cannon, coaxial machine gun and HJ-73D missiles. Dragon’s 1/72 rendition captures the character of this modern Chinese AFV with smart engineering and sharp surface detail.
