1:72 Scale Metal Diecast ? BTR-152 Russian - Soviet Armored Personnel Carrier APC - Length: 3.5", Width: 1.25? This model has a main body made of metal. The wheels are free rolling and are very smooth, so be careful of where you place this model as it could roll "down hill". 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-152 is a six-wheeled Soviet armored personnel carrier (APC) built on the chassis and drive train of a ZIS-151 utility truck. It entered service with a number of Warsaw Pact member states beginning in 1950, and formed the mainstay of Soviet motor rifle battalions until the advent of the amphibious BTR-60 series during the 1960s. BTR stands for bronetransportyor (Russian: ????????????????, ???, lit.?'armoured carrier').
