Hi all

This is Trumpeters BTR-40 fresh from the paint booth.
A fairly straight forward kit with a few photo etched parts and rubber tyres. I added a wire antenna but if I'm not mistaken there are not a radio set included in the kit. The only setback during the build were that a glued joint between the left windscreen/left door came loose during the painting.

The model is painted with Gunze acrylics and weathered with oil paints/white spirits.










Kind regards

Very nice looking, great paint and weathering.

Very realistic looking model, the weathering is great as is the interior. Goes to show you dont need to throw PE at a model for it to look great

Agreed...Fine work...Well done...

Good work!

I have one waiting to be built with MMK's twin AA gun conversion.

Cheers,

Christophe

Nice!

The vehicle's left side (blade below) of the tensioner assembly of iron-why do not you black?
It's not made ​​of wood, but not too rusty to be so.

Saw Shovel handle and birch wood (pre-), not painted, just let it go in flax oil, lighter, yellowish color.

Hi Tomas!

Good looking model and thanks for sharing!

That's a real nicely finished 40 Tomas- great stuff!

Hi all

Thanks for your kind words.

Juhász: Thanks, I didn't know the usage for the bar, but is it
a tensioning lever then it's naturally not made of wood.
Helpful input from you as always.

This is a BTR for rail use.
Am I Mr. Obvious on this comment? LOL

Great job! Would make an early Cold War collector happy to add your work to his shelf.

Fantastic job Tomas! Looks freakin' real man!!!

It looks fantastic, you should be proud of that finish.

Superb finish, i really like the way you have done the tyres. Your excellent work has made me want a BTR-40 of my own.
Well Done and thanks for sharing!
