Model kit of Chinese PLA AFV crew in 1/35 scale by Replikator Model Corporation on a military-themed background.

Complete your modern Chinese armor projects with this highly detailed 1/35 scale 3D printed figure set. Part of the Replikator Model Corp Modern Military Series, this kit depicts a crew of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Ground Force, designed specifically to complement kits of modern Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) like the ZTZ-99A, Type 96, or IFVs like the ZBD-04.

  • Four-Figure Complement: The set provides a versatile crew lineup to bring your vehicle to life:

    • The Commander (Standing): Depicted in a relaxed pose, adjusting his microphone or chin strap, appearing to be in communication or deep thought.

    • The Gunner/Loader (Standing): Stands with hands positioned as if resting on the hull or a railing, engaged in conversation.

    • The Turret Crew (Seated): A seated figure gesturing with his left hand, designed to sit on the turret roof, open hatch lip, or fender.

    • The Driver: A half-body torso figure wearing the full communications helmet, designed to fit predominantly inside the driver's station hatch.

  • Distinctive PLA Headgear: The figures are wearing the iconic padded ribbed tanker helmets used by the PLA. These helmets are distinct from Western or Russian designs, featuring prominent longitudinal padding strips and integrated large-earcup headsets with boom microphones.

  • Modern Uniform Details:

    • Tactical Coveralls: The crew wears modern two-piece or coverall-style tanker uniforms featuring chest pockets with flaps and thigh cargo pockets.

    • Insignia: Sharp detailing includes the collar tabs (rank insignia) and unit/flag patches on the left sleeves, ready for fine painting or decals.

    • Footwear: Modeled with modern high-leg lace-up combat boots.


The PLA Ground Force Armor

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has undergone massive modernization, moving from Soviet-derived designs to indigenous, world-class armor.

  • Modern Steel: Vehicles like the Type 99A and Type 15 Light Tank represent the cutting edge of Chinese military technology, featuring advanced composite armor, active protection systems, and digital battle management systems.

  • The Human Element: As the hardware has evolved, so has the crew gear. The distinctive ribbed helmets and professionalized uniforms seen in this set reflect the modern, professional nature of today's PLA tanker.

Recommended for: 1/35 kits by HobbyBoss, Meng, Takom, and Trumpeter (e.g., ZTZ-99, ZTZ-96B, ZBD-04).
