Dick Clark Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 This is not a 100% accurate replica of this particular vehicle; the front light surround and rear-view mirrors aren’t correct. Also, some of the tires are the wrong way round, but by the time I realised that it was too late! 16 1
DocRob Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Nice build and also nicely photographed with the background. Cheers Rob 9
belugawhaleman Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 Looks great! I recently purchased Trumpeter's BTR-80a. This is the version with the big auto - cannon on the turret. I've noted that a lot of the footage of burned-out vehicles of the war are these. Anyway, the Trumpeter kit looks like a good one. How was your kit build wise? 2
Dick Clark Posted April 16, 2022 Author Posted April 16, 2022 Hope I’m replying to Belugawhaleman - I’m still figuring this out. The kit was OK, but the suspension was quite tricky. The wheels are meant to rotate bit they were so wobbly I glued them up. I’m not a fan of moving parts on kits, they always seem to make weak points. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 18, 2022 Administrators Posted April 18, 2022 Nicely done, and first blood. Very, very nice build. I’d have NO idea if it was right at all, but it certainly looks like a BTR to me 1
