Hi gents
A friend of mine asked me to convert his old Dragon BTR-70 in a tri-color Est German ambulance version. Since I have no references for that version, does anyone can help me with a scale drawing or suggest an on-line source for references?
Thanks a lot
Gaetano

Hi Gaetano,
Is that you like? In 2006, using a "scrap" a Dragon kit, made this conversion.

Taking as reference the above images I created this drawing, based on material found on the Internet.

Here are some photos of the finished model, made many mistakes and exaggerations. I did not like the result, but this conversion has taught me many things.
