Hi guys!

I'm currently finishing my build of the BTR-60P (photos soon) but I have a part left: G20, does anyone know where to put it? The instructions do not mention it, neither in the description where they tell you the parts which are not used..

Anyone?

Hi Jurjen- if you take a picture of the part I could see if I remember where it goes !

Hi Karl,


G20 is the small round part left bottom. Thanks for helping!

Hmmm, thats a tricky one. I can't see anything on my built kit that looks like it. It looks faintly like the backing of a light- there's four on the front, plus the searchlight and then the two lights atop the rear deck- if those are all present and correct then, judging by whats on that sprue, it is quite possibly something for the front interior, near the dashboard and it won't really be seen if it is missing. It could also be a surplus part- I seem to remember one or two when I threw out my 60P box.

I hope this helps a bit, sorry I couldn't be more specific!

Thanks for looking! I was also thinking it could be a spare part or something. First I thought it was meant for the front interior as most of the G-parts are used in this area. Maybe we'll never know!

Considering there are no less than 3 versions of the BTR-60, either out, or coming out from Trumpeter, it is likely a part for one of the ones you don't have.

It's a ceiling light for the BTR-60PB version so not needed for the roofless P.
