…so highly realistic, some of the occupants of some of those vehicles must have been equally crisply molded :expressionless:

Sure, here’s a few photos :+1: The hull is mostly finished, just the ERA and a few small parts to add. Haven’t done any work on the turret yet. I’ve modified the fenders and side skirts, they are molded in one piece so you have to cut them up if you want to see any of the top track run.

For a Ukrainian tractor there’s a life outside of towing Russian armor…

Plain Jane BTR-80

BTR-82

BTR-3

BTR-4
As a sidenote BTR-80A is the early version of the 30mm turret. BTR-82 is an upgraded version. Me thinks BTR-4 is the coolest looking one;-)

Looks like the big tractor is a K-700A indeed…

@Frenchy do you have any interior picture of the BMP-3, the troop compartments drivers area and the upper turret?

“Russian peacekeepers”… now there’s words that don’t seem comfortable together.

The turret is that of a BMD-4 not a BMP-3. It looks similar but is smaller.
