Soviet PT 76 Released at Empress Miniatures.
« on: March 23, 2020, 01:54:48 PM »
I have always had a bit of a love of the PT 76 Amphibious recce vehicle as its design and usage seemed pretty advanced especially when one considers that it came into service with the Soviet military in 1951.

It is still used by the Russian Federation as well as many military forces around the world.

Our 1/50 scale model comes with a separate snorkel attachment which can be fixed onto the back of the rear turret door. I used Blu Tac on the one in the pictures.

This is now available in the shop in the Modern vehicle room.

This would be a rare vehicle in the Vietnam War, would'nt it? I know the NVA used them but only in small numbers.

It was that attitude that SP4 Dooms at Lang Vei encountered. That and 13 T76s (Vanguard 42 p28)

A platoon’s worth should suffice. Oh and then another one for my Indonesians. :)
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
