Dont think so.
Have white arm band, so Russian or more likely Separatist (Russian supporters).

That blows my mind as I don’t think they could fit in the tank!
I think they would fit OK, it’s the climbing on and off that’s hard!

I think the most important thing in that last photo is that it demonstrates a void in kits that we need: A Lada Samara. Available in 1:24 but not 1:35.
The pictured Lada is not a Samara. Here’s one :
The one in the picture is an older, Fiat-based Lada Zhiguli series one
Several early Zhiguli 1/35th scale resin models have been released by Guntower from Russia

Plan B : Welly diecast Ladas are really close to 1/35th scale, but they’ll require some TLC…

i love that ditched BMP-2, I’m surprised it still has the anti-tank missile launcher attached, you don’t see many of them attached.
and that’s a great advert for JCB towing that BMD all the way to the bank/farm lol
Same tank as in my previous post :

@Frenchy is that a BTR-82?
could i use this kit for the Ukrainian army or would it work for the Russians as well?
i was rhinking about using it as a Russian vehicle in Afghanistan…is that s possibility?
I guess it’s a BTR-82A. The “A” is fitted with a 30 mm gun, the BTR-82S has a 14.5 KPV machine gun instead.

For a Soviet BTR-70 in Afghanistan, yes. Leave off the wheel chocks and jerrycans , obviously the decals as well. I don’t think the Russians are using them in Ukraine though.
