The AFV Club 35361 YPR-765 PRI.50 APC w/ .50-caliber M2 HB Machine Gun model in the renowned 1/35 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit designed for modelers who value authenticity and a high level of detail. This replica reproduces the Dutch YPR-765 PRI.50 armored personnel carrier, an evolution of the AIFV platform aimed at increasing the mobility and protection of mechanized infantry soldiers.

The YPR-765 PRI.50 was developed in the Netherlands based on a licensed version of the American M113 and served in the Dutch Army from the late 1970s to modern times. In the 21st century, these vehicles were also delivered to the Ukrainian Army, where they are actively used in combat operations. These vehicles have seen deployment during the Cold War, in various NATO alliance activities (such as peacekeeping missions in the Balkans), and in contemporary operations.

This model kit is made from high-quality plastic, with a significant amount of photo-etched details, as well as newly designed parts such as roof handles, a turret adapter, and reinforced armor details. The model stands out for its faithfully recreated M2 HB (.50 cal) heavy machine gun, which constituted the main armament of the YPR-765 PRI.50. The set also includes a decal sheet with markings for both Dutch and Ukrainian vehicles.
