B&L Models : XTC-03 Vietnamese Amphibious APC

Vietnamese Amphibious Armored Personnel Carrier from B&L Models

B&L Models announced a new kit in 1/35 scale. This time it is quite different than their figure, diorama and brown river navy kits.

It is an 8x8 Amphibious Armored Personnel Carrier.

XTC-03 is the first 8×8 wheeled armored personnel carrier to be domestically researched and produced by Vietnam for People's Army of Vietnam . 

The vehicle is equipped with a turret armed with a 30 mm 2A42 autocannon as its primary weapon. It is supplemented by a 7.62 mm PK coaxial machine gun. It carries 8 soldiers seated on both sides of the troop compartment. The crew includes a driver seated next to the engine compartment, a commander seated behind the driver, and a gunner positioned within the turret. Access is provided through a rear door, with four roof hatches available for entry and exit.
