Soviet BTR-70 Armored Personnel Carrier Model Kit (Afghan War 1979-1989)

Description

Build a detailed replica of the iconic Soviet BTR-70 armored personnel carrier, widely used during the Afghan War (1979-1989). This model reflects the modifications made by Soviet troops to enhance battlefield survivability.
