ICM BTR-60P Armoured Personnel Carrier HC-ICM72901

ICM BTR-60P - Armoured Personnel Carrier, part number HC-ICM72901, is a 1:72 scale plastic model kit representing the first serial modification of the Soviet BTR-60 armoured personnel carrier. Developed at the Gorkiy automobile plant, the BTR-60 was the first Soviet combat vehicle to use eight driving wheels. Unlike the later roofed BTR-60PB, the BTR-60P was produced without a roof, a feature represented by this model.

The kit contains 118 plastic parts for assembly and includes detailed instructions to guide construction. The moulded sprues provide the components needed to recreate the vehicle's body, running gear and open upper section at this scale. Its compact dimensions make the completed model suitable for display alongside other 1:72 military vehicle kits, while the construction format allows the vehicle to be assembled and finished according to the modeller's chosen approach.

Markings

Two marking options are provided, covering Soviet service in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These represent both Soviet Marines and Soviet Army Motorized Infantry Guards units:

• BTR-60P, Soviet Marines, early 1970s
• BTR-60P, Soviet Army Motorized Infantry Guards units, late 1960s

Specifications

• Scale: 1:72
• Number of parts: 118
• Model length: 101 mm
• Model height: 34 mm

With its open-roof configuration and period marking choices, this ICM kit focuses on the early BTR-60P rather than the later enclosed variant. The included assembly instructions support the build from the supplied plastic sprues through to the completed armoured personnel carrier model.
