Hi guys,

I just picked up the new Trumpeter BTR-60P. I always look for references online, but this time I need your help. I can hardly find any good photoreferences, do you have some suggestions?

Cheers!
Jurjen

Some scale drawings ?

Here you can find some drawings from the part manual for the "P" variant :

I believe good "P" walkaround pics are harder to find than other variants pics...

Fantastic pictures and images there Frenchy!

When I finish my M1117 I want to build one of the BTR's, or the MAZ-537G. I have a new affection for multi-wheeled AFV's and also self-propelled howitzers too.

Hi Frenchy!,

Thank you so much! Like you said, not much out there on the net on the P version.

Cheers,
Jurjen

Frenchy rules !!!!

Is there a tank/APC/AFV that you don't have any photo or scale drawing ?

Thanks again !

You're wecome guys

Guess you would have nothing against a few more pics ?

Thanks for the pics Frenchy. I can contribute with these books about the BTR series

They are written in Russian, but they're full of images

Here some very exhaustive walkarounds. Pics have been taken by Mr Coast 70

I bet you own more than one PC to have so many images.

Hi Mauro

Thanks for the walkarounds, but I believe they show the BTR-60PA...the hull top front hatches are visible on some pics and the pictured hulls are lacking the small access door :




Frenchy

Yes Frenchy you're right

Anyway these versions look almost equal to each others

Fantastic pics and references guys, thanks a lot!

Right now, I couldn't tell one BTR from another. My goal today is to try to separate them so I can, then decide what I want to build.

Those are great pictures there Frenchy! Thanks!

You can take a look here for the main visible differences between variants (the drawings are OK, but they have mixed up the pics a bit ) :

Nice finds Frenchy. They are going to help a lot.

I've managed to dig up a few more drawings :

Hello folks,

I`ve just picked up the Trumpeter BTR60 P kit and was wondering if any one has pictures or links to pictures of the MTP-2 Repair Vehicle version as i would like to do mine as one of them.

Thanks

Malc.

Would this help ?
















Frenchy

They are a great help, Frenchy.

Thank you.

Are they based on the PA version, or are some of them the P with an added roof?

Malc

According to the informations I've found, the MTP-2 is a converted BTR-60P : a roof is added and brackets are fitted to the sides for the recovery equipment.
