Happened across this photo of a BTR-70 in Chechen service.

Should be a fun paint job for a Trumpeter kit.

That is exactly what I thought. However, the accompanying article describes it as a Chechen vehicle.

I wonder if the interior is carpeted with fuzzy dice and a crown air freshener

I believe the BTR-70 is likely to be released for Christmas, this year. Trying that camo scheme would drive me to drinking. You always think your work is awesome, after a shot with a whiskey chaser.

I think it was meant to be a fashion statement.
