The MT-L was developed to meet this requirement based on the PT-76 amphibious light tank chassis. The MT-LB is the armoured variant of the MT-L. Entering production in the early 1970s, it was cheap to build, being based on many existing components like the engine which was originally developed as a truck engine. It was built at the Kharkov tractor plant and under license in Poland and Bulgaria.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- The kit consists of over 720 parts\u003cbr\u003e- Multi-slide moulded lower hull and upper hull\u003cbr\u003e- Photo-etched parts included\u003cbr\u003e- Metal tube and cable parts included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46917487263995,"sku":"9580208096186","price":1799.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/0398\/4552\/files\/Trumpeter---1-35-MT-LB-with-Zu-23-2.jpg?v=1739015108","url":"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/products\/trumpeter-135-mt-lb-with-zu-23-2","provider":"Jix Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
