Hi, thanks for linking this news!
i also saw this and had the idea to post this.
Nice vehicle and surely a nice kit!
As I know, again there is no plastic-version of this vehicle. Good job, Trumpeter!

Greetings and thanks...

We live in a good time for having all that russian millitairy kits...

I love Russian material. The BTR-40 looks very nice. It looks like a 60 era used vehicle. Does annybody knows te timeframe on when they where used?

I am hoping that they bring out a good kit of a 1:48 MIG-25 and MIG-31...

The Trumpeter BTR-40 is out now, at Sprue Brothers. I nabbed one just in case they go out of stock.

It doesn't seem to be available at HobbyEasy or Lucky Model yet.
