The kit offers over 440 parts spread across 33 sprues. Once assembled, the model measures 189 mm in length and 91 mm in width. It includes photo-etched parts, a braided cable, and individual-link tracks.

Surface details, the running gear, external equipment, smoke grenade launchers, and the roof turret are reproduced. Hatches can be installed in different positions.

Decals and finishing

A decal sheet and a painting guide are provided for two typical vehicles of the People’s Liberation Army, with numbers allowing you to create other digital markings.

At a scale of 1/35, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced by a factor of 35. Assembly will gain realism with careful preparation of the parts, the application of a primer, and then paint matched to the chosen military tones. Photo-etched parts require precision tools and the appropriate glue.
