Good afternoon. I started construction of this model, as an extension of the PT-76 theme.

I love it. Not many builds of this kit on Armorama. I look forward to following this one.
Thanks
Euan

I always liked the BTRs. I'll be following along.

OUTSTANDING WORK. But i hate Photo-etch Its o.k. on some projects, but most kits they dont need it. Your BTR-50 is a very Good kit and it looks like your off to a GREAT START. Well be Looking Forward to more.

MIKE.

Thanks Euan, Matt, Mike

Hi Vyacheslav- thats a very fine looking build there, plenty of detail. Are you using the Voyager PE set for this?

Hi Karl. I use 2 sets of Voyager.

PEA078 1/35 WWII exterior tanks and smoke gernerators for Soviet tank (For All)

and

PE35483 1/35 Mordern Russian BTR-50PK APC (For TRUMPETER 01582)

Thanks for that info Vyacheslav !

Vyacheslav out standing paint job what colers did you use???
dave

Nice paint job Vyacheslav.

Not to throw a spanner in the works but does anyone have any pics showing this type of BTR-50Pk in NVA service as the few pics I can find show the later type with the extended nose and raised rear hull? Any info gladly accepted. The Trumpeter kit depicts an early type with the original nose and engine deck.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Dave, I took the 6 parts XF62, XF58 2 parts to 1 part XF2. Well, after all this gloss varnish, wash, satin and 4 filters

Hi Andy, according to the Stockholm database

http://armstrade.sipri.org/armstrade/page/trade_register.php

From 1959 to 1962, the GDR was to ordain 200 BTR-50P and PK. Late BTR-50 PK (with a long nose, and created this time based on the PT-76B) to produce only in the middle of 1962, that is, in the delivery of this period, he could not get (comes only later.) Photos of early BTR I unfortunately do not. But based on the database it is safe to say that the German army was a decent number of such machines

Vyacheslav:
Nice build, PE work definitely dresses up the BTR. Good job on the paint finish. Looking fwd to completion.

Hi Vyacheslav,

Thanks for that info and the link. Looks like the NVA did indeed have some of the earlier BTR-50PK types. That will allow me to finish mine as an East German one too.

Andy

Would you be able to tell me what colours and what techniques you used to achieve that shade and finish of green please? I think it looks so realistic.
Thanks very much.
Euan

((OUTSTANDING))

Fantastic job on this 50PK Caesar, it looks really good.

Wow, a very nice NVA SPW. Great finish and color. Congratulations.
But, without the 'Nachtmarschanlage' and the 'Verladekeile' he looks incomplete.





This are typical equipment for NVA tanks.

Andreas

Thank you. "Nachtmarschanlage" really is a typical equipment for technicians NVA, but at this stage of its development, I do not know how and what I could do "Nachtmarschanlage." So yes, that would look like. But "Verladekeile" is not present on all models SPw-50.







By the way the last photo just did earlier BTR-50 on the low case (for arisen earlier question of the presence of NVA these machines.
