Sergej wanted me to post that he will be producing new wheel sets for the BTR-70/80 series...











these are the CAD drawings for the pattern maker. Should be out in resin soon.

Jacques,
I guess these will be for the Trumpeter kits. From the CAD drawings should we understand that the tire and the hub will come as separate parts ?

Yes on both counts.

These look damn good, I'll need a set for the 70 and 80. I also wonder would he consider doing some wheels for the Trumpeter UAZ-469?

Sergej will consider almost anything, but it also has to be popular with Russia as a lot of his sales, if not the bulk, are done for Eastern European modelers.

What are the advantage of these wheels over the ones that come in the Trump kits?

They are to be more accurate with correct sidewall inscriptions and the variety of hub design. Also, they will be resin which some people prefer.
