Cool. Had the BTR-80A been announced previously? Must have missed that one.

This is lovely and i think most have been expecting Trumpeter to take the T-80 series on. i do wonder if the CAD only release isn't to try and take some of the wind out of the sales of the new T-80u. That said, I am glad they are releasing a different model and the fact that the BV is so prevalent in Russian service AND served in the Chechnyan war makes this a very good idea for the intitial model!
