4D Model 1/72 ZTD-05 Amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle *review* (by Erhan Atalay)

 

Hello dear friends,

4D-Models is a manufacturer from China. They usually released  price-performance kits. Cheap and simple. This is an example.. The molding is detailed but rough, you need to make additions (or maybe the opposite) for a good model..

I finished it out of the box. But I am not comfortable, it needs to be reworked before painting.

Erhan...

Description :

The ZTD-05, also named ZLT-05 VN-16 in the export version, is an amphibious light tank designed and manufactured in China by NORINCO, especially for naval infantry units. The ZTD-05 is armed with a 105 mm gun. The ZTD-05 belongs to the series of amphibious vehicles developed by China. It is the fastest and most advanced medium-sized AAV. The ZTD-05 was designed for China by the Russian Tula KBP bureau, using the fighting compartment of the Russian BMP-3 armored infantry fighting vehicle as to starting point. The Kurgan machine-building plant was involved in the development of the rest of the vehicle, as well as the launch of its mass production.

in-box ... 

The combination of wheels and tracks is terrible.

Yes it's a hinge :)

It's Chinese but the schemes are universal..

I separated the wheel and the track.

competed ? 

Comparison with Zvezda 1/72 TBMP T-15 Armata.. for size not for quality
