E.T. Model E35-082 is a high-quality set of photo-etched parts designed specifically for the PT-76 model in 1/35 scale. This set has been created to enable modelers to build extremely realistic fenders for the Soviet PT-76 light amphibious tank, based on popular Trumpeter plastic kits. The product is cataloged as a photo-etch modeling accessory, meaning it is made from a sheet of thin, precisely etched metal.

Historical Information

The PT-76 is a Soviet light amphibious tank introduced into service in 1951, widely used by the Soviet Army and numerous Warsaw Pact countries, as well as many Asian and African armies during the Cold War period. This vehicle participated in numerous conflicts such as the Vietnam War, the Indo-Pakistani War, and Middle Eastern operations. The fenders on the PT-76 played an important role—they cushioned contact with water and mud when crossing water obstacles and protected the tracks from contamination.
