I know they used the BTR. Whether it was the 70 or 80, I can't remember. I would suggest waiting for Trumpeter's release, rather than going for the old Dragon/Italeri/Revell/Zvezda kit. I just built one and it's a real dog. I don't suppose this is for a upcoming campaign?

You mean the Canadian Army used the Soviet-built BTR

Anthony,
the tracks melted? I never spent any time in RC south, closest I came was Ghazni and Paktia, but Afghanistan doesn't get THAT hot down there does it? The Brits and some other NATO partners use the BV's pretty often don't they?
