Braille Scale 

 
In aircraft and armored vehicle scale modeling, Braille scale commonly means 1/72 or 1/76 scale.


 The term was coined by the owners of Missing-Lynx web forum in 1998. Other forums have taken a liking to the phrase since then, and incorporated in their own websites.( source Wikipedia)

MT-LB

 MT-LB is a multi-purpose, amphibious, tracked armored fighting vehicle developed used in USSR since the 1950s, widely exported. It was built in Kharkiv Tractor plant, and formerly in Poland and Bulgaria 

It has a very simple design, a driver and a commander/gunner sit in the front compartment with the engine behind them. A compartment at the rear carry up to 11 persons or a cargo of up to 2T and it can tow 6,5t. A small turret at the front of the vehicle is equipped with a 7.62 mm machine gun. 

Many weapon systems have been developed from the IFV version, for anti-aircraft, anti-Tank, engineering, and others specialized purpose. An extended hull has been developed and host an artillery system (122 mm gun) and demining device.

Ace MT-LB  72 122

Among the first kits of the Ace model brand, a real "short run". To my knowledge the first MT-LB available in injection molded plastic and very much welcomed. The kit needs a little work, but allows to make nice models. The weak points are the undercarriage and the tracks. The gluing of the body to the chassis requires some dexterity and putty. A second version of the kit with better quality tracks has been released. The kit is provided with a small photoetch sheet. Unfortunately  sold out, as all the other versions produced. A collector to buy, as soon as ther is an opportunity.

It's a resin kit, Very nicely detailed, probably the best on the market while waiting for the release of Modecollect. 
Unfortunately it's an expensive kit  and hard to find.  


Includes a Photoetch board and towing cables 

Available in several versions: With ZSU, with BTR 80 A turret, and a more modern version the MT-LBVM
