hey everyone, just got the trumpeter BTR 60 P, looks good in the box, but since I seem to find nothing on this model, I turn to you..
can I rebuild it into a closed version, I know the gunhatches changed place, and the top got somewhat higher, but that's about it, are there other changes to be made,from searching i found the closed one more intresting to build , with a context, seems the opentopped version got quickly replaced, don't blame them

I don't know how you could convert your BTR-60 to a closed-top, but I believe Trumpy is about to release a kit of that version soon.
I did a bit of surfing around, searching for pics of the BTR-60 open top; I wasn't satisfied with the schemes shown in the kit, and hoped to find something different, but I never did; I just kept seeing the same Russian vehicles over and over.

The only picture of it I have seen so far is a line drawing provided by my supplier.
