Armor Series No. 00380 1/35 Scale Russian PT-76 Light Amphibious Tank [ПТ-76 (плавающий танк-76)]

[Model Specifications]

The PT-76 is one of several light amphibious tanks developed and used by the Soviet Army.

Although the PT-76 is lightly armored for a modern tank, its inherent amphibious capability outweighs these limitations.

It has had widespread use in the Warsaw Pact and many other countries.

The PT-76 carries a 76 mm main gun with a maximum effective range of approximately 1500 meters.

Operated by a three man crew, the PT-76 is often used to transport troops.

The fact that the commander is also the gunner and radio operator reduces his effectiveness as an observer.

The PT-76 also lagged behind other Soviet armored fighting vehicles in having no night vision equipment and no NBC protection system for the three-man crew.
