The kit captures the Soviet wheeled armored personnel carrier of the BTR-152 range in the version designated D, in 1:35 scale. It is made by the Ukrainian brand UM, known above all for models of armored vehicles with fine surface detail and a fairly intricate division of parts. The package contains plastic parts to be assembled; the model is neither painted nor glued. The 1:35 format means a finished model about twenty centimeters long, which shows well in a diorama with figures.
The BTR-152 was a wheeled armored personnel carrier created after the Second World War on a truck chassis. The design was based on a production chassis with three axles, onto which an open welded hull for the crew and the carried section was set. The vehicle was built in many forms differing in drive, armament and equipment and stayed in use for a long time in a number of countries. It belongs to the generation of hardware that was still looking for a balanced ratio between cross-country mobility and protection for the crew.
With wheeled carriers it pays to start from the chassis. First assemble the axles and the steering dry and check that all six wheels stand in the same plane, otherwise the model will rock on its base. The open hull is visible from the inside, so paint and shade the interior before you close the sides up. The plastic parts are joined with a thin modeling cement for plastic applied by capillary action into the joint. Use a primer for the base coat and spray the paint with an airbrush in thin coats; leave the tires in a matte black slightly different from the chassis. Build the weathering with a wash into the recesses and dry pigments for mud and dust effects, working from the bottom upward.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
