Hobby Boss 82483 1/35 PLA ZBD-05 Amphibious IFV Specialist Kit  [HB-82483]

Hobby Boss 1/35 PLA ZBD-05 Amphibious IFV - In depth scale replica for modellers

The Hobby Boss 1/35 PLA ZBD-05 Amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle model kit presents the hull form and marine hardware of a modern amphibious IFV used by marine units. Its combined sea and land role makes the kit an appealing subject for those focused on current armour technology.

Context and seagoing capabilities

The ZBD-05 draws conceptual parallels with the U.S. Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle and is intended for launch from amphibious assault ships. It can operate beyond 10 kilometres offshore at speeds greater than 25 km/h, aided by hydraulically actuated bow and transom flaps which form a planning surface and cut hydrodynamic drag.

Why builders favour this kit

The model represents the two-man turret with a 30mm cannon and an AFT-5 ATGM rail launcher replacing the older three-man 105mm turret. With a crew of three and capacity for nine marines, the kit's more than 840 parts offer detailed assembly work and a finished model that looks at home in a modern armour collection.
