Howdy all,
Been working on this for only a week. This is where I am at thus far. I want to finish it in that odd Royal Thai Digital camo.

Great build for a never seen before subject, at least to my knowledge.
The work on the barrel is excellent.

As John asked what kit/conversion is this?

Its a very interesting subject and the work so far is fantastic, especially on the turret.

Thank you all.
Here is a link to the guy who sells them. My understanding is that it is a SP Desgins turret and then Upper hull. Comes with a CD with build photos and photos of the real thing. You need BTR-70/80 Tires and suspension.

Fairly fast from Ukraine. He also offers a complete BTR-4 (next build) Makes a nice weapons set for the 1/35 Trump Hip as well

So this thing takes First AND Second place, while third place ran away, or what?

A good looking model, I can't wait to see it with some paint on it.

Thanks for the info on the ebay seller. I think the BTR-4 just made it onto my buy and build list.

The BTR-4 kit is excellent kit. I am picking out parts from the spares box for a better interior. If ya get it let me know, as I have a ton of images saved.
