Team Yankee Soviet BTR-60 Transport Platoon (Plastic)
The BTR-60 was the standard wheeled armoured personnel carrier of the Soviet Army during much of the Cold War. Capable of carrying infantry across rough terrain while offering protection from small-arms fire, the BTR-60 allowed Soviet motor rifle troops to keep pace with advancing armour. In Team Yankee, the BTR-60 Transport Platoon provides mobility and flexibility for Soviet infantry formations.

About the Vehicle:
First introduced in the 1960s, the BTR-60 was an eight-wheeled APC designed to replace earlier Soviet transports. Armed with a 14.5mm heavy machine gun, it offered fire support while carrying troops into battle. Its amphibious design allowed for river crossings, and its mobility made it ideal for large-scale mechanized operations across Europe. BTR-60s were widely exported, becoming a familiar sight across Warsaw Pact and allied forces.
About the Models:
The Team Yankee BTR-60 Transport Platoon kit recreates this Cold War workhorse in 15mm scale. With crisp detail and authentic proportions, the models are perfect for building Soviet or allied mechanized forces. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, ready for hobbyists to build, paint, and customize.
