Master GM-35-011 KPVT (tankoviy) - Russian 14.5mm heavy machine gun – version for armoured vehicles (BTR-60PB/70/80, BRDM-2 and other) (1pc) (1/35)

Master GM-35-011 is an extremely detailed accessory set designed to enhance 1/35 scale armoured vehicle models. The set enables faithful reproduction of the Russian KPVT 14.5mm heavy machine gun in the tankoviy version, used as the main armament in the turrets of BTR-60PB, BTR-70, BTR-80 armoured personnel carriers, BRDM-2 reconnaissance vehicles, and many other armoured vehicles of Eastern Bloc countries.

Historical use: KPVT was developed in the Soviet Union in the 1950s as the primary heavy armament for armoured vehicles. It played a particularly important role during the Cold War era, widely installed on Soviet and Warsaw Pact allied vehicles. The KPVT saw combat during the intervention in Afghanistan as well as in Middle Eastern conflicts, where it served as an effective weapon against lightly armoured targets and infantry forces.

Set contents and materials:

• Precisely turned brass barrel with a realistically recreated, round cooling jacket
• Photo-etched part for easier assembly and enhanced detail level
• High-quality resin detail fully matching the original

The barrel and metal parts are factory pre-drilled, ensuring impressive depth and high assembly quality. The set is compatible with most BTR, BRDM, and other 1/35 scale vehicle models available on the market.

Product category: this is an aftermarket enhancement set – a precision metal barrel with accessories, intended for both plastic and resin kits.

Recommendation: We especially recommend this product to advanced modellers seeking maximum authenticity for their miniatures. The set increases the realism of any Soviet vehicle equipped with the KPVT. It works perfectly for dioramas from the Cold War era as well as modern conflicts.

Assembly difficulty: 4/5. Due to the very precise parts and the necessity to work with both metal and resin, we recommend the set for those with modelling experience.

By choosing Master GM-35-011, you are investing in the highest level of craftsmanship and historical accuracy, appreciated by modellers worldwide.
