Hobby Boss 84577 PLA ZTQ-15 Light Tank 1/35 – plastic model of a light tank

Hobby Boss 84577 PLA ZTQ-15 Light Tank 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit that faithfully replicates one of the newest Chinese light tanks – the Type 15 (ZTQ-15). This model was created for hobbyists passionate about modern military technology and the dynamic changes in 21st-century armed forces.

The ZTQ-15 tank entered service with the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) in the mid-2010s. Its light construction, advanced electronic systems, and 105 mm caliber cannon make it ideal for operations in difficult mountainous conditions, in the southern and western regions of China, where conventional main battle tanks have limited mobility. The ZTQ-15 has been in use since the 2010s – belonging to the category of modern military vehicles (contemporary times), and made its combat debut during numerous PLA maneuvers and military exercises focused on rapid actions in hard-to-reach areas.
