Looks good so far. Keep working and good luck. My BTR-80A is not too fun anymore. Hopefully, you will get to finish yours.

Seems that you've had to do quite a bit of work on the hull but it seems to be progressing well. With yours that three BTR-80 in various stages being built here. Some might think there is a conspiracy of a group build going on. So how many of these do we need for a complete unit?

Cheers,

Interesting to see some more build-logs of the BTR-kit!
I also had plans to build one, so itīs good to see the positive and negative points of the kit.

Thanks for sharing!

greetings...

Nice work! I've got a Zvezda BTR-70 sitting on the shelf myself. I'm looking forward to working on that in the future.

Correcting the Zvezda kits takes some work but sure is satisfying I feel, I found that with my BMP-2.

Thank you everybody, Your encouragement are my power.

Little update. The suspension is totally wrong, it is too difficult to fix it : (

looking good and cant wait to see more.

I notice you comment on the suspension? What is wrong with it exactly? I'm no expert on Wheeled IFV's so it would be interesting to know what I would need to consider for my BTR-70 in the future.

I think the Zvezda's suspension is too simple and less detail,



And a little update
